Heathrow Scientific BH2006 Biohazard Pipet Keeper is a paperboard disposal container purpose-built for biohazardous pipette waste up to 15 in (38 cm) long. Each box features prominent biohazard symbols, a self-locking top, re-closable flaps, and a 2300 cc capacity — keeping pipettes, sticks, and other sharps fully enclosed until autoclave disposal. Sold as a case of 50. Autoclavable. Made in USA.
Features & Benefits
- Holds Pipettes Up to 15 in (38 cm): The 15.5 in interior length accommodates standard serological pipettes, disposable transfer pipettes, and applicator sticks without bending or crushing.
- 2300 cc Capacity: Large-volume capacity minimizes change-out frequency even in high-throughput pipetting environments.
- Self-Locking Top & Re-Closable Flaps: The self-locking closure prevents accidental opening; re-closable flaps allow the box to be safely resealed between additions for regulated biohazard waste areas.
- Biohazard Symbols on All Sides: Clearly marked with biohazard symbols for instant visual identification as regulated waste — required by most institutional biosafety policies and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030).
- Autoclavable — Disposable After Sterilization: Designed for autoclaving at standard 121°C (250°F) cycles prior to disposal. The sturdy paperboard construction maintains integrity during autoclaving, allowing compliant steam sterilization before disposal per institutional regulations.
- Case of 50 — Cost-Effective Supply: Bulk case pricing reduces per-unit cost for labs with high pipette throughput. Compact flat-pack case shipping dimensions (22" × 17" × 2") for efficient storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the BH2006 be used for non-pipette biohazardous waste?
The BH2006 is sized for elongated waste items up to 15 in — serological pipettes, disposable transfer pipettes, applicator sticks, cotton swabs, and similar items. It is not designed for rigid sharps (needles, scalpels) which require a puncture-resistant sharps container, or for liquid biohazardous waste. For bench-top biohazard bag containment, see the Heathrow Scientific Biohazard Keepers series.
What is the correct autoclave procedure for the BH2006?
Follow your institution's biosafety protocols for autoclaving biohazardous waste. Typically: ensure the container is no more than 75% full, place in a secondary autoclave bag if required by your policy, and autoclave at 121°C (250°F) / 15 psi for the cycle time validated for your waste type (commonly 45–60 min gravity cycle for pipette waste). After autoclaving, dispose of the sealed container per your institutional solid waste regulations.
