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) ## [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 CEO to Present Ways to Reduce the Science Community’s Plastic Waste During LABVOLUTION in Hannover, Germany](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-ceo-to-present-ways-to-reduce-the-science-communitys-plastic-waste-duringlabvolution-in-hannover-germany) Posted by [Grenova Team](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/author/grenova-team) on Mar 11, 2020 11:21:49 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Grenova CEO to Present Ways to Reduce the Science Community’s Plastic Waste During LABVOLUTION in Hannover, Germany](https://blog.grenova.com/hubfs/Grenova_Founder_2.jpg)](https://blog.grenova.com/blog/grenova-ceo-to-present-ways-to-reduce-the-science-communitys-plastic-waste-duringlabvolution-in-hannover-germany) Grenova’s founder and CEO, Ali Safavi, will present ways to reduce the science community’s plastic waste during [LABVOLUTION](https://www.labvolution.de/home), a flagship European trade show for innovative lab equipment.
