White Paper: Minimizing the Influence of Plastic Consumables on the Laboratory Workflows
19 July 2016
Chemical substances leaching out of plastic consumables (leachables) are still frequently underestimated in the majority of life science applications. This document provides an overview of the classes of leachables which are known to be critical, and how they can influence various experimental systems. Practical recommendations on how to estimate and significantly reduce the risk of leachables affecting experiments are also summarized.
