What is the new Waste Tube made of?

The new Waste Tube is made from recycled plastic recovered from post-consumer plastic waste. Due to the slight composition differences of the raw material, the color of the tubes may differ from lot to lot. However, this has no effect on its intended use of collecting flow-through from sample binding and membrane washing. After each step, the flow-through is discarded, and the Waste Tube can be reused. The Waste Tube is only used to process waste and should never come into direct contact with the analyte of interest.
