Product Description
Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes
Perform precise dispensing of small drops into small-volume containers using Fine-Tip Transfer Pipettes. These fine-tip pipettes are ideal for removing cell layers and separating blood samples. Designed with a built-in pipette bulb, they allow precise dispensing of small drops into small-volume containers.
Description
- Made of shatterproof, nontoxic polyethylene
- Low-affinity surfacereduces loss of cells and valuable proteins due to binding
- Can be frozen in liquid nitrogen, or heat sealed for storage
- Available with fine tip or extended fine tip
Superior Precision with Fine Tip DesignThe fine, narrow tip (about 1 mm opening) is engineered for accurate sample dispensing, reducing splashing and enabling controlled liquid transfer, especially valuable in sensitive procedures like cell culture handling and microbiology assays. Gradual increments ensure meticulous measurement, supporting consistent results in daily lab work.
Reliable and Safe Laboratory HandlingMade from chemically inert, shatterproof LDPE, these pipettes stand up to regular laboratory use and are suitable for applications involving mild acids, bases, and aqueous solutions. They are fully transparent for easy sample visibility and are designed for single use, minimizing contamination risks in biological and chemical sample handling.
Versatile Application and Easy SterilizationThese pipettes are tailored for use in diverse laboratory settings, from research and clinical labs to educational institutions. The non-sterile pipettes can be autoclaved if sterilization is required, providing flexibility for stringent protocols. Their manual operation and flexibility offer efficiency for both precise transfers and routine volume measurements.
FAQs of Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes:
Q: How should Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes be sterilized before laboratory procedures?
A: Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes are supplied non-sterile but can be sterilized as needed using an autoclave. They are made from LDPE material, which withstands temperatures from -50C to 70C, making them compatible with standard autoclaving practices.
Q: What are the primary uses and benefits of these pipettes in laboratory environments?
A: These pipettes are ideal for precise liquid transfer in cell culture, microbiology, and chemical laboratories. Their fine tips enable accurate sample dispensing, reducing risk of cross-contamination, and their disposable nature ensures a high degree of sample integrity and convenience.
Q: When is it appropriate to use these disposable pipettes instead of reusable glass pipettes?
A: Disposable Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes are recommended when contamination risks are high or rapid sample handling is essential. They are especially suitable for single-use scenarios or whenever repeated autoclaving is impractical or could compromise the integrity of reusable equipment.
Q: What chemical substances are compatible with these pipettes?
A: Constructed from low-density polyethylene, these pipettes are resistant to mild acids, bases, and aqueous solutions, preventing leaching or degradation. They are not recommended for use with strong solvents or concentrated chemicals that may compromise the pipette material.
Q: How does the fine tip design improve accuracy during sample transfer?
A: The approximately 1 mm narrow tip allows for controlled and precise dispensing, which is particularly useful for tasks that require exact placement, such as adding reagents to microplates or performing serial dilutions in sensitive assays.
Q: Where are these pipettes commonly used within the laboratory workflow?
A: Fine Tip Transfer Pipettes are used in sample handling steps requiring precision, including transferring, mixing, or dispensing biological fluids and chemical reagents during research, diagnostic testing, and routine laboratory processes.
