At Pipette.com, we’ve spent over two decades helping scientists get the tools they need to innovate, discover, and change the world. From academic labs and biotech startups to clinical researchers and educators, we know that the right equipment, in the right hands, can unlock incredible things.
But too often, access to that equipment isn’t equal. And that’s something we’ve always wanted to change.
Why Supporting Science Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Science doesn’t exist in isolation. It powers the medicines we take, the water we drink, the air we breathe. It solves public health crises, helps us understand our changing climate, and gives students the tools to shape a better future.
And yet, access to science is still unequal.
Across the globe, brilliant scientists and passionate students are ready to make breakthroughs, but often lack the basic lab tools they need to do their work. It’s not just a matter of funding - it’s about opportunity, equity, and global progress.
That’s why supporting science matters. Whether you're part of the life sciences industry, an educator, or simply someone who believes in human progress, there are so many ways to make an impact.
How We Help When We Can: Creating Impact Through Action
At Pipette.com, we believe that empowering science starts with action. Whenever we’re able to give back-whether that’s by donating equipment, supporting education programs, or offering sustainable lab alternatives — we do. Because small actions can lead to a big impact.
And at Pipette.com, we’re proud to play our part.
Giving Tools a Purpose - Where They’re Needed Most
Pipette.com partners with Seeding Labs through the Instrumental Access Program, donating lab equipment to institutions in under-resourced regions.
We were thrilled to learn that this equipment is now being used at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Jamaica as part of a public health research program targeting mosquito-borne diseases.
This is science in action: when tools reach the right hands, they can help protect lives and drive research that benefits entire communities.
Science without borders begins with generosity.
Supporting Education at Home too through Generation STEAM
These materials are part of the Life Science Innov8Ed initiative, specifically the ScienceBridge program, which offers hands-on, in-classroom biomanufacturing experiences to Title 1 high school students. Roughly 200 students participate directly, while over 10,000 students are impacted across San Diego County each year.
Real tools. Real science. Real future scientists. That’s what we’re investing in.

Creating a Smarter, Greener Lab Experience
But impact isn’t only about access. It’s also about how we do science. We know labs generate a lot of waste, especially from single-use plastics and short-lifecycle equipment. That’s why we also offer refurbished pipettes, centrifuges, and more - tools that have been fully tested, recalibrated, and brought back to life for a second round of scientific discovery.
We believe in helping labs operate efficiently - not just financially, but environmentally, too.
Our Feel Good, Feel Green initiative encourages labs to think differently about what “new” really means, and how sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.
If you're searching for sustainable lab supplies, eco-conscious laboratory practices, or green science solutions, look no further—this guide will show how Pipette.com is innovating in these areas and how your lab can join the movement.
The Bigger Picture: Rethinking Scientific Responsibility
It’s easy to overlook just how resource-intensive science can be. Labs around the world contribute an estimated 6 million tons of plastic waste each year, much of it from critical but disposable supplies, such as pipette tips, tubes, and flasks.
We’re not here to tell labs to stop using what they need. But we are here to support a conversation—and a shift—toward conscious choices:
- Buying refurbished when possible
- Donating equipment you no longer use
- Supporting programs that extend access to science
These aren’t massive overhauls. They’re intentional steps that, when taken together, can redefine how science supports people and the planet.
Join Us in Making Science Matter
Whether you’re equipping a high school class, powering research in underserved regions, or just looking for more sustainable lab solutions - we’re here to help.
And if your research touches marine science or ocean sustainability, we’d especially love to hear from you. It’s a personal passion of ours, and we’re always looking to back science that protects our most fragile ecosystems. 🌊

It’s Not Just About What You Use - It’s About Who You Empower
At Pipette.com, our goal has always been simple: make science more accessible, more efficient, and more sustainable. That’s why we’re proud to partner with organizations like Seeding Labs and Generation STEAM—because every student we inspire, every lab we equip, every solution we support brings us one step closer to a world where science is truly for everyone.
Let’s keep going. Let’s keep giving.
Let’s keep making science matter.
