Sustainable solutions are not just an option, it's a necessity. We are glad to announce that we are moving gradually to more sustainable solutions for us, for you, and for the environment. We care about your time and resources, so we will pre-pack our kits and have multipacks available for your favorite products. All info can be found on the bag and as always, our catalogue product range is stable at room temperature for 30 days, which makes product shipping and handling convenient. Our products will be surrounded by sustainable packaging and reducing waste every step. Check out the changes in detail and let us know if you have any questions or comments!
For some time, we have tried to find a good solution for packaging our reagents more sustainably. Plastic bags, which we are using at the moment, are not optimal from the material side but compared to cardboard boxes they use up minimal cargo space in the airplane, keeping the CO2 footprint smaller this way. Cardboard boxes used in biotech are usually also laminated to tolerate the freeze-thaw cycles and humidity that come with it. We found a solution through ISCC- certification possibility.
Instead of current transparent kit bags, we will be using ISCC certified bags, made from 85% bio-based materials (mass balance).
The bags will have product info indicated clearly on them - so no need to peek through the plastic bag to see what's inside. The sticker will have the product name, catalog number, lot number, size, and storage info. Additionally, we will include a QR code that will direct you to the product documentation page that includes the Data Sheet, Certificate of Analysis, and Material Safety Data Sheet.
Our standard products will be pre-packed to streamline the work of our logistics department and bring products to your benchtop even faster. Unfortunately, pre-packing allows less flexibility - it will be harder to exclude a component/components of the kit, which some of you may have appreciated in the past.
Enzyme kit formats are unified for all users (including FIREPol® DNA Polymerase, HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase, TERMIPol® DNA Polymerase, and HOT TERMIPol® DNA Polymerase)
So far, the enzyme kits for end-users have been slightly different from the kits to distributors. For example, if end-user ordered 2 x 500 U of FIREPol® DNA Polymerase kit, they received buffers aliquoted as 1 x 5 ml per buffer, distributors have received the buffer aliquoted as 2 x 2,5 ml. In the future standard will be 2 x 2,5 ml. Smaller aliquotes are also more convenient as they thaw faster and the risk of contamination is lower.
The exact volumes for each kit component you can find on our webpage or product datasheets already now.
To keep the packaging more sustainable we will offer multipacks for our most popular products (less packaging material and less space in cargo). If the product you are ordering has a multipack option, your Account Manager will let you know and ask if the switch would be ok with you. At first, we plan to offer our most popular products in 5-pack and 10-pack respectively:

In Estonia, we pretty much spend half a year in the dark and cold. It’s therefore very nice to have a person around who lights up the whole room and brings the warmth of summer with her everywhere she goes. Our own sunshine Narges was chosen by co-workers as the greatest Makes My Day Person in the company, so here is a little story about her to make your day.
Science is continually moving toward more accurate and individual-specific approaches when it comes to developing new genotyping technologies. In light of that, we would like to discuss high-throughput genotyping, which allows for a large number of precise results to be obtained fast.
Have you ever used chat on our website to talk about our products or PCR or whatever came to your mind? Have you ever asked for advice from our customer support? If you have, the chances are you were talking to Birgit. She is the little miracle behind your perfectly functioning experiment. Now you have the opportunity to get to know her a little better.
