Precision and CompatibilityThese 20l Filter Tips are meticulously engineered for compatibility with most universal micropipettes. Their precision-molded design ensures accurate and reproducible results, supporting reliable liquid transfers in sensitive applications such as PCR, molecular biology, and general laboratory tasks. The universal fit and color-coded rack system enhance convenience and organization in any busy lab.
Sterility and Sample IntegrityEach tip is pre-sterilized using gamma irradiation, ensuring a contamination-free environment for your samples. The hydrophobic filter acts as an aerosol barrier, protecting against cross-contamination and safeguarding the integrity of your results. Packaged RNase/DNase-free and pyrogen-free, these tips are ideal for demanding applications requiring high standards of cleanliness.
Durability and VersatilityManufactured from high-grade polypropylene, these filter tips are engineered to withstand temperatures ranging from -20C to 121C. Their five-year shelf life ensures long-term storage without compromising quality, while injection molding guarantees ultra-clear clarity for easy sample visualization. Lightweight yet sturdy, they are an essential tool for both research and clinical laboratories.
FAQs of 20l Filter Tip:
Q: How do I ensure these 20l filter tips fit my micropipette?
A: These filter tips are designed with a universal fit, making them compatible with most common micropipette brands and models. Always confirm your pipette accepts standard, universal-sized tips to ensure a proper seal and accurate performance.
Q: What process is used to sterilize the filter tips?
A: The tips undergo gamma irradiation to achieve sterility. This method effectively eliminates potential contaminants, ensuring RNase/DNase-free and pyrogen-free conditions for sensitive laboratory work.
Q: When should I use the filter tips aerosol barrier feature?
A: The integrated hydrophobic filter is essential when handling hazardous or sensitive samples, as it prevents aerosols and liquid carryover, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between pipetting tasksespecially important in PCR or molecular biology workflows.
Q: Where are these tips commonly used in the laboratory?
A: They are widely used in general liquid handling, PCR, and molecular biology, where high accuracy, cleanliness, and contamination prevention are paramount. They are suitable for both research and clinical lab environments.
Q: What are the main benefits of using these pre-sterilized filter tips?
A: These tips ensure reliable pipetting accuracy, protect sample integrity via effective aerosol barriers, and minimize contamination risks. Their universal compatibility and color-coded racks further streamline laboratory workflow and organization.
Q: How long can I store these filter tips before use?
A: Each tip has a shelf life of five years when stored under recommended conditions, allowing laboratories to purchase in bulk without worrying about rapid degradation or loss of sterility.
Q: What materials are used in manufacturing these tips and why?
A: High-quality, ultra-clear polypropylene is used for strength, chemical resistance, and visual clarity. The tips are injection-molded for consistent dimensioning and include a hydrophobic filter to serve as an aerosol barrier, ensuring safety and reliability in every use.
