Heathrow Scientific 120487 RF3000 Replacement Nose Cone Pack PP is a polypropylene nose cone pack designed for use with RF3000 Pipette Controllers.
Heathrow Scientific RF3000® Replacement Nose Cone Pack (SKU: 120487) includes five polypropylene nose cones in assorted colors — black, red, blue, grey, and yellow — engineered as genuine replacement accessories for the RF3000® Pipette Controller. Each cone snaps directly onto the RF3000® nozzle to maintain a secure, contamination-resistant seal during pipetting. The five distinct colors allow labs to implement immediate visual coding by user, department, task, or sample type without labeling or guesswork.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine Heathrow Scientific Replacement: Exact-fit polypropylene cones engineered for the RF3000® — no third-party fitment issues, gap seals, or compatibility guesswork.
- Five Colors in One Pack: Black, red, blue, grey, and yellow ship together — enough to simultaneously assign a unique color to each user, department, or protocol at a shared workstation.
- Polypropylene (PP) Construction: Durable, chemically resistant material stands up to routine lab solvents, alcohols, and dilute acids and bases encountered in everyday pipetting workflows.
- Instant Visual Differentiation: Color-coded cones provide at-a-glance identification across busy benchtops, reducing the risk of cross-contamination from swapped or misidentified controllers.
- Complete Replacement Set: Pack of 5 covers all cone slots on a single RF3000® unit in one order, keeping your pipette controller fully operational without waiting for individual color restocks.

Laboratory Applications
The 120487 nose cone pack is purpose-built for labs where multiple people share pipette controllers or where strict protocol separation is required. Typical use cases include multi-researcher benchtops where each team member is assigned a dedicated color to prevent cross-use; high-throughput genomics or cell culture labs that visually separate reagent classes (e.g., blue for routine buffers, red for hazardous materials); training environments where trainee and senior researcher controllers are instantly distinguishable; and clinical or quality control workflows where color assignments enforce SOPs without additional labeling overhead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 120487 nose cones compatible with the RF3000 pipette controller?
Yes. SKU 120487 is the genuine Heathrow Scientific replacement nose cone pack designed exclusively for the RF3000® Pipette Controller (HS3000). These cones provide the same secure fit and color-coding system as the five cones originally included with the RF3000® unit.
How many nose cones are included in SKU 120487, and what colors?
SKU 120487 includes five nose cones: one each in black, red, blue, grey, and yellow. This is a complete replacement set for a single RF3000® unit, or enough to assign a unique color to five different users at a shared workstation.
What is the nose cone material, and is it compatible with common lab reagents?
The nose cones are manufactured from polypropylene (PP), which offers good resistance to many common lab reagents, aqueous buffers, alcohols, and dilute acids and bases. Always verify chemical compatibility with your specific reagents and concentrations before use.
Does the pack include the small-pipette nozzle adapter, or only the colored nose cones?
SKU 120487 contains the five assorted-color nose cones only. The small-pipette nozzle adapter is a separate accessory. The RF3000® Pipette Controller (HS3000) ships with the adapter included; replacement adapters are also available from Heathrow Scientific.
