In laboratories, plastic consumables are extremely common. With the significant advantages of being diverse, lightweight, durable and low-cost, they play an important role in experimental operations, especially in high-throughput experiments and long-term experiments, providing scientific researchers with a more economical and efficient choice.
Common plastic consumable materials include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), etc. Faced with so many plastic materials, how to choose consumables that meet experimental needs? What are the characteristics of each of these common plastics, and what experimental scenarios are they suitable for? Next we will take an in-depth look at the properties of different plastics and their applications in laboratory consumables!
1. Polypropylene (PP)
Good chemical stability, high temperature and high pressure resistance
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most commonly used plastic materials in laboratories. It has good temperature stability and heat resistance, and can withstand high temperature and high pressure steam sterilization. At the same time, it also has strong chemical resistance, allowing it to be used stably in a variety of experimental environments.

Deep well plates, liquid storage tanks, pipette tips, centrifuge tubes, screw-top tubes, cryopreservation tubes, PP reagent bottles, and PCR series consumables.
# Advantages and applications of PP material consumables
Aijin PP material consumables are widely used in molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology and other fields . Due to the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of PP material, Aijin centrifuge tubes, liquid storage tanks and cryopreservation tubes can operate stably under harsh experimental conditions to ensure that samples are not affected by the outside world. Aijin reagent bottles made of PP are resistant to pressure and moisture, and have good sealing properties to avoid liquid leakage or evaporation.
2. Polyethylene (PE)
There are two types of HDPE and LDPE, which have stable performance even at low temperatures.
Polyethylene (PE) is a common laboratory plastic material, divided into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). HDPE has higher strength and hardness, while LDPE has better flexibility and impact resistance. Polyethylene consumables tend to soften at high temperatures, but their performance is stable at low temperatures (the lowest operating temperature can reach -100~-70°C).

# Advantages and applications of PE material consumables
Aijin reagent bottles are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which has high strength and hardness and is stable in low-temperature environments. With these characteristics, the reagent bottles can stably store reagents at low temperatures. In addition, it also has good chemical resistance and anti-aging properties.
3. Polystyrene (PS)
High optical transparency and good surface modification
Polystyrene (PS) has high optical transparency, with a light transmittance of more than 90%, making it very suitable for applications that require observation of experimental processes. Its surface modification and chemical resistance are also very good, and it can be modified through surface treatment to meet the special needs in cell biology and microbiology experiments .
#爱jinPS material consumables
ELISA plates, bacterial culture dishes, PS culture tubes, serological pipettes, cell culture series products (cell culture dishes, culture plates, culture bottles).
# Advantages and applications of PS material consumables
Aijin PS material consumables can clearly observe cell growth and reactions due to their high transparency, especially in cell culture and microbiology experiments. Aijin's cell culture dishes, culture plates and other products not only have excellent transparency, but also have good surface modification, which helps cells adhere to the growth and ensures the reliability of experimental data.
4. Polycarbonate (PC)
High strength, high transparency, heat resistance
Polycarbonate (PC) has high strength, high transparency and good heat resistance, and is widely used as laboratory consumables in high-temperature and high-energy radiation environments. It also has good chemical resistance and is suitable for a variety of experimental environments.
