Copan Diagnostics Inc. has recalled approximately 2,592 units of their 300uL Transfer Pipettes because of plastic defects that impact the tool's ability to pull up liquids correctly. These individually wrapped pipettes are used in medical and laboratory settings, and if they do not meet the expected suction tolerances, they could lead to inaccurate measurements during testing or sample transfers. Consumers should check their inventory for specific COPAN REF 2U045S01 products across 17 different lot codes and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
The plastic defects interfere with the pipette's aspiration capability, meaning the device may not pull up the precise amount of liquid required for a procedure. This can lead to incorrect sample volumes being processed, potentially resulting in inaccurate diagnostic test results or experimental errors.
