TPP : What consumables for cell culture and liquid handling?

TPP (Techno Plastic Products AG) designs and manufactures in Switzerland sterile plastic consumables for the cell culture and liquid handling. Its culture flasks, dishes and multi-well plates, as well as serological pipettes, support academic research, biotech companies and the pharmaceutical industry day in, day out. Renowned for tight dimensional tolerances and surfaces optimised for cell attachment, the brand safeguards the reproducibility of results in modern laboratories. From design through to cleanroom packaging, TPP delivers ready-to-use solutions that drive productivity and data quality.

A Swiss hallmark that has become the standard in cell culture

Rooted in Switzerland, TPP has been evolving a simple idea for decades: design cell culture consumables that make life at the bench easier and make results more reliable. Born as a specialist manufacturer, the company brought design, moulding, sterilisation and quality control together under one roof, ensuring flawless traceability. Over time, its ergonomic innovations (smart caps, clear colour coding, uniformly treated surfaces) have become standards in incubators worldwide. Close to its users, TPP continuously refines the details that save time and reduce risk. Today, TPP relies on a strong European distribution network - including Dutscher - to serve R&D, quality control and production across the biotech, pharma and agri-food sectors.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

At the heart of TPP’s expertise lies cell culture in all its forms. Cell culture flasks deliver outstanding optical clarity, growth surfaces treated for adherent cells, and vented or closed caps to suit oxygenation needs. Culture dishes (from 35 mm to large format) and multi-well plates ensure planarity and uniformity—two prerequisites for reliable readouts in microscopy, imaging or colourimetric assays. Serological pipettes provide precise transfer and a smooth, consistent flow, valued both in routine work and in sensitive workflows.

Every lot undergoes stringent sterility and particulate cleanliness checks. Irradiation sterilisation is validated, and lot-specific documentation streamlines audit readiness and compliance. Designed for GLP/GMP environments and CO? incubators, TPP items minimise contamination risks and enhance reproducibility between experimental runs. Packaging (peelable pouches, practical pack sizes) is thought through for the cleanroom and efficient stock management.

In the labs Dutscher supports—primary culture, established cell lines, immunology, virology, screening, quality control—TPP is sought after for its precision/robustness balance, the dimensional consistency of moulded parts, and the details that matter: secure grip rings, intuitive visual codes, homogeneous growth surfaces. A combination that explains user loyalty and TPP’s standing as a trusted staple among cell culture consumables.
