Summary
Researchers demonstrated that pipette tips used in trace chemical analysis can be safely cleaned and reused by washing with a 50:50 ethanol-water solution, reducing plastic laboratory waste without compromising analytical performance for emerging contaminants in wastewater.
This study shows that solvent-based washing enables safe pipette tip reuse for trace chemical analysis, with EtOH : H 2 O (50 : 50, v/v) providing the best balance of cleaning, and sustainability, reducing plastic waste without performance loss.
