Epidemiologists and virologists are working around the clock to come up with a treatment for the virus. Filtered pipette tips made of plastics are used to study the virus and the once bulky, glass pipettes now are sleek and automated. A total of 10 plastic pipette tips are used to perform a single COVID-19 test currently and most of the tips that are used now have a filter in them that is supposed to block out 100% of aerosols and prevent cross contamination when sampling. But how much are these significantly more expensive and environmentally costly tips really benefiting labs across the country? Should labs decide to ditch the filter?  [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/do-filtered-pipette-tips-really-prevent-cross-contamination-and-aerosols) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/do-filtered-pipette-tips-really-prevent-cross-contamination-and-aerosols#comments-listing) Tags: [Plastic Waste](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/plastic-waste), [Savings](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/savings), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Reduce](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/reduce) ## [Grenova's Ergonomically Friendly Products Minimize Physical Stress on Employees](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) Posted by [Spencer Conti](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/spencer-conti) on Jul 6, 2020 9:43:50 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova's Ergonomically Friendly Products Minimize Physical Stress on Employees](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/attachment.jpeg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) Now more than ever, businesses around the world are placing a premium on keeping not only the environment and planet healthy, but employees as well. Pipette manufacturer Sartorius details that more than 40% of lab professionals suffer from pipetting-caused disorders. In the industries where lab technicians work such as education, healthcare, medicine, and biology, injuries associated with repetitive tasks like pipetting are on the rise.   [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-ergonomically-friendly-products-minimize-physical-stress-on-employees#comments-listing) Tags: [SMARTer](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/smarter), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Laboratory Automation](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/laboratory-automation), [Workplace Culture](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/workplace-culture) ## [Grenova’s Products Can Help Laboratories Maintain Valuable COVID-19 Test Kit Resources](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-products-can-help-laboratories-maintain-valuable-covid-19-test-kit-resources) Posted by [Katharine Moore](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/katharine-moore-1) on Jun 24, 2020 12:59:19 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova’s Products Can Help Laboratories Maintain Valuable COVID-19 Test Kit Resources](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/caronavirous%20picture%20for%20blog.jpg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-products-can-help-laboratories-maintain-valuable-covid-19-test-kit-resources) Coronavirus testing labs are facing a steadily growing volume of tests needed with no immediate end in sight. These labs are tasked with managing their increasing demand through smart inventory control.  In a recent White House briefing, coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx stressed to testing laboratories: “Make sure you have enough pipette tips, pipettors, and all of the equipment that you need... you know what you need. Make sure you have that and have that available for these tests.”  [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-products-can-help-laboratories-maintain-valuable-covid-19-test-kit-resources) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-products-can-help-laboratories-maintain-valuable-covid-19-test-kit-resources#comments-listing) Tags: [Plastic Consumables](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/plastic-consumables), [Reuse](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/reuse), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Coronavirus](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/coronavirus) ## [Research Demonstrates Green Return On Investment](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/research-demonstrates-green-return-on-investment) Posted by [Spencer Conti](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/spencer-conti) on Jun 23, 2020 9:59:32 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Research Demonstrates Green Return On Investment](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/blog%20photo%202.jpg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/research-demonstrates-green-return-on-investment) [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/research-demonstrates-green-return-on-investment) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/research-demonstrates-green-return-on-investment#comments-listing) Tags: [SMARTer](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/smarter), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Reduce](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/reduce), [Carbon Footprint](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/carbon-footprint) ## [Grenova’s Technology Proven to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Pipette Tips and Boost Lab Sustainability](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-technology-proven-to-reduce-the-carbon-footprint-of-pipette-tips-and-boost-lab-sustainability) Posted by [Spencer Conti](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/spencer-conti) on Jun 19, 2020 12:29:54 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova’s Technology Proven to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Pipette Tips and Boost Lab Sustainability](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/Pipette%20tip%20edited-1.jpg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-technology-proven-to-reduce-the-carbon-footprint-of-pipette-tips-and-boost-lab-sustainability)   When pipettes were invented in the 19th century by Luis Pasteur, little thought was given to the environment and even less thought was given to laboratory consumables like pipette tips. But as laboratory research testing increases with the onset of new viruses, like COVID-19, and ever-changing government regulations are signed into law, everything laboratories do now is amplified. This includes what these labs do for the environment. To demonstrate Grenova’s impact on the lab industry and the environment, our team partnered with third party researchers to study how technology created by Grenova to wash and reuse pipette tips can reduce the carbon footprint of manufactured pipette tips.  [Read More](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-technology-proven-to-reduce-the-carbon-footprint-of-pipette-tips-and-boost-lab-sustainability) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenovas-technology-proven-to-reduce-the-carbon-footprint-of-pipette-tips-and-boost-lab-sustainability#comments-listing) Tags: [Plastic Waste](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/plastic-waste), [Plastic Consumables](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/plastic-consumables), [Reuse](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/reuse), [Pipette Tips](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/pipette-tips), [Carbon Footprint](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/tag/carbon-footprint) ## [Grenova Founder Delivers TEDx Presentation](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-founder-delivers-tedx-presentation) Posted by [Grenova Team](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/grenova-team) on Apr 1, 2020 4:29:07 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova Founder Delivers TEDx Presentation](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/TEDx_Youth_Ali.png)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-founder-delivers-tedx-presentation) Grenova’s founder Ali Safavi was asked to present at TEDxYouth to address the steady rise in plastic biohazard waste produced from the laboratory and healthcare industry.
