Abdos : What consumables plastic for pipetting, molecular biology and the gestion of samples?

Abdos designs and manufactures plastic lab consumables for life science, quality control and R&D laboratories. Its portfolio spans pipette tips, tubes and microcentrifuge tubes, PCR consumables, bottles, cryovials, filters and storage solutions. Produced in a cleanroom, sterile items are treated by gamma irradiation (SAL 10^-6) and are guaranteed DNase/RNase-free and non-pyrogenic. Trusted by biotech, pharma, food and academia, the brand stands out for its universal compatibility, rigorous batch traceability and an outstanding performance-to-price ratio.

The go-to name in laboratory plasticware

Born within a leading industrial player in plastics processing, the Abdos brand chose the laboratory as its field of excellence from day one. By building its production around high-precision injection moulding lines and a dedicated cleanroom, it has steadily broadened its range: liquid handling, sample preparation, PCR, storage and transport. Underpinned by a documented quality system (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, sterility validations) and continuous investment in moulds and dimensional inspection, Abdos has expanded internationally through specialist European partners. Its ambition remains unchanged: to deliver reliable, safe and accessible consumables, with no compromise on compliance or on the reproducibility of results.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

Abdos is recognised for the consistency of its materials and finishes, serving the key steps of the analytical workflow. In liquid handling, its pipette tips (standard, filter, low-retention) offer universal compatibility with the leading pipette brands, easy-to-read graduations and racked, reload or bulk formats, in sterile or non-sterile versions. On the sample preparation and storage side, the brand offers 0.2–2 mL microtubes, 15/50 mL conical tubes and centrifuge bottles, with writable areas, durable markings and centrifuge-tested performance.

For PCR, Abdos supplies 0.1/0.2 mL tubes, strips and thin-walled 96-well plates, optimised for heat transfer and available in low-profile options. In cryopreservation, its cryovials with internal or external thread, with leak-tight seals, provide high security for freezing down to vapour-phase liquid nitrogen, with colour-coded freezer boxes for effective traceability in the freezer.

Filtration is covered by syringe filters and filtration bottles, offered in common diameters and membrane materials (PES, Nylon, PTFE…) and 0.22/0.45 µm pore sizes for aqueous solutions or solvents. Every batch comes with documented quality controls: gamma SAL 10^-6 sterility on sterile SKUs, DNase/RNase-free and non-pyrogenic, dimensions verified and lot numbers for tracking.

Day to day, Abdos saves time: peelable pouches, ergonomic racks, low-plastic reloads, clear colour coding. A blend of reliability, traceability and practicality that makes it a safe choice for academic labs, the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, food and beverage and environmental testing.
