  • Title: [Risk of contamination by pipetting bacterial culture broth with "Pasteur pipettes" (author's transl)].
    Author: Lambert NG, Jetté LP, Caprioli T, Kasatiya SS.
    Journal: Ann Microbiol (Paris); 1979 Apr; 130A(3):351-4. PubMed ID: 384869.
    Abstract:
    Our experiments have shown that the cotton plug located at the top end of a "Pasteur pipette" allows aerosol to escape upon aspiration of a bacterial culture broth and may be the cause of contamination. In the following, we propose the use of a bacteriological filter system which insures greater safety.
