One area of focus is single-use plastic labware: troughs, pipette tips, plates, etc. <a id="crf0005" href="#bib0001" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0001 bib0002 bib0003">[1–3]</a>. Single-use plastics in general are more likely to end up in marine ecosystems and are a leading cause of microplastic pollution in human food sources <a id="crf0007" href="#bib0004" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0004">[4]</a>. As such, there is a drive to reduce single-use plastics in many facets of human life, including research environments [<a id="crf0008" href="#bib0002" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0002">2</a>,<a id="crf0009" href="#bib0003" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0003">3</a>]. Furthermore, with ongoing polypropylene-based labware shortages because of the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing and/or re-using single-use consumables is now a necessity for many groups. However, challenges exist when re-using these consumables: (1) introduction of potentially harmful reagents as part of a wash process; (2) uncertainty as to the number of times labware can be re-used; and (3) concerns about data integrity. Here, we describe the development and validation of a process to wash disposable liquid handling tips using nontoxic reagents for re-use in automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) workflows.</div><div id="para0003" role="paragraph">The ELISA platform allows for optimal assay development to produce a large volume of sample data in a short period of time and is an indispensable analytical tool in vaccine formulation and process development. As vaccine development trends toward increasingly multivalent formulations [<a id="crf0010" href="#bib0005" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0005">5</a>,<a id="crf0011" href="#bib0006" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0006">6</a>], automation and high-throughput techniques become critical components of product development. Unfortunately, automated high-throughput assays supporting multivalent vaccine development produce copious amounts of single-use plastic waste. We estimated that our group produces almost 3000 kg single-use plastic waste per year via automated ELISAs (<a id="crf0012" href="#tbl0001">Table 1</a>), of which approximately 90% comes from disposable liquid handling tips. Cardboard packaging for liquid handling tips is also substantial (<a id="crf0013" href="#tbl0001">Table 1</a>). We sought to reduce those waste footprints by washing and re-using these tips.</div><div class="figure-wrap"><figure id="tbl0001" class="table" data-figureviewer-ignore="true"><div class="table-wrap"><table data-figureviewer-ignore="true"><thead><tr class="rowsep" data-xml-align="left" data-xml-valign="top"><th id="en0001">Progam</th><th id="en0002">Labware</th><th id="en0003">Single-use Plastic (kg/Year)</th><th id="en0004">Cardboard Packaging (kg/Year)</th><th id="en0005">CO<sub>2</sub>E (metric tons/Year)</th><th id="en0006">Plastic Reduction (kg/Year)</th><th id="en0007">Cardboard Reduction (kg/Year)</th><th id="en0009">CO<sub>2</sub>E Reduction (metric tons/Year)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td id="en0011"> </td><td id="en0012">Tips</td><td id="en0013">848</td><td id="en0014">202</td><td id="en0015">2.01</td><td id="en0016">424</td><td id="en0017">87</td><td id="en0019">0.94</td></tr><tr><td id="en0021">1</td><td id="en0022">Plates</td><td id="en0023">93</td><td id="en0024"> </td><td id="en0025">0.14</td><td id="en0026"> </td><td id="en0027"> </td><td id="en0029"> </td></tr><tr><td id="en0031"> </td><td id="en0032">Troughs</td><td id="en0033">37</td><td id="en0034"> </td><td id="en0035">0.06</td><td id="en0036"> </td><td id="en0037"> </td><td id="en0039"> </td></tr><tr><td id="en0041"> </td><td id="en0042">Tips</td><td id="en0043">1695</td><td id="en0044">404</td><td id="en0045">4.02</td><td id="en0046">565</td><td id="en0047">115</td><td id="en0049">1.24</td></tr><tr><td id="en0051">2</td><td id="en0052">Plates</td><td id="en0053">186</td><td id="en0054"> </td><td id="en0055">0.28</td><td id="en0056"> </td><td id="en0057"> </td><td id="en0059"> </td></tr><tr><td id="en0061"> </td><td id="en0062">Troughs</td><td id="en0063">73</td><td id="en0064"> </td><td id="en0065">0.11</td><td id="en0066"> </td><td id="en0067"> </td><td id="en0069"> </td></tr><tr><td id="en0071"><b>Total</b></td><td id="en0072"> </td><td id="en0073"><b>2931</b></td><td id="en0074"><b>606</b></td><td id="en0075"><b>6.62</b></td><td id="en0076"><b>989</b></td><td id="en0077"><b>202</b></td><td id="en0079"><b>2.18</b></td></tr></tbody></table></div><figcaption><span class="heading">Table 1</span><div id="spara004" role="paragraph">Annual Single-use Plastic and Cardboard Waste Reduction.</div><div class="core-table-tools"><ul><li><a class="core-table-show-action" href="/action/showFullTableHTML?isHtml=true&amp;tableId=tbl0001&amp;pii=S2472-6303%2823%2900041-9" target="_blank">Open table in a new tab</a></li></ul></div></figcaption></figure></div><div id="para0004" role="paragraph">Many common laboratory detergents and cleaners exhibit notable toxicity.

The Artel photometric system was chosen because of its ability to reliably detect extremely small (&lt; 0.1 µL) variations in volume. Slight, but statistically significant, changes were observed in measured volumes for washed and re-used tips.

We also estimate that the environmental costs to implement are far outweighed by the benefits. For example, we calculate the greenhouse gas burden of 15 L 1 N NaOH to be 0.38 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent yearly, and 15 L 70% ethanol to be 25.5 kg CO2-equivalent yearly.</div><div id="para0013" role="paragraph">Additionally, we investigated how many wash cycles would be feasible for our assay given our rigorous quality control criteria. We detected increased discrepancies after a second wash and re-use cycle, thereby limiting deployment to only a single re-use. When we investigated further, we were surprised to observe only a small (yet statistically significant) change in measured volume. Though seemingly enough to influence our ELISA results (likely due to the sensitive nature of the ELISA assay), the remarkably small change after two wash and re-use cycles suggests that multiple washes may have utility for less sensitive applications. Indeed, Khadra et al. successfully re-used tips that had been washed nine times <a id="crf0039" href="#bib0009" role="doc-biblioref" data-xml-rid="bib0009">[9]</a>, supporting broad applicability of tip re-use in a research setting. While the extent of warping and deformation of tips following repeated mount and eject cycles and the degree to which such deformation affects pipetting accuracy is largely dependent on manufacturer design, a quantitative analysis of volume drift with each cycle of tip re-use may help make informed decisions regarding the number of possible re-use cycles.</div></section><section id="sec-5"><h2>Contributors</h2><div id="para0014" role="paragraph">BP, RC, AB, JAS, KK, and DW conceived of the study and created automation scripts.
