Labcon has selected Mirel™ bioplastics for a new laboratory liquid handling system. The Labcon Pagoda reloading system utilizes Mirel for the injection molded tray that holds the lab pipets in place. Mirel is biobased and biodegradable, which means the product tray can now be composted at the end of its useful life. Mirel is produced by Telles™, a joint venture of Metabolix, Inc. with Archer Daniels Midland Company.
