Can Combitips be used in food analysis?
The materials used to produce Combitips (50 ml, 25 ml, 10 ml, 5 ml, 2.5 ml, 1 ml and 0.5 ml) are compliant with the requirements on materials used for articles or components of articles intended to come into contact with food as described in: France: Repression des Fraudes (1997), No 1227, et Supplément N° 1 EU: Commission Directive 90/128/EEC, 92/39/EEC, 93/9/EEC, 95/3/EC and 96/11/EC, Section A USA: FDA, CFR, Title 21 (1998), 177.1520(a)(3)(i)(c)(1), (b) and (3)3.1a Olefin polymers. Detection limits for monomers and additives used are not included in the directives mentioned. As Eppendorf does not use any additives and/or monomers in the production of Combitips, there should not be any problems.
