Everything You Wanted To Know About Pipette Tips And More!
If you’re looking to buy pipette tips, there are many factors to consider. First, you must make sure that they’re made from virgin polypropylene, which is free of plastic and metal additives. This is important if you’re using the tip for a sample. Furthermore, if you want to use a colored tip, you should check that the tip doesn’t contain any metal additives, since dyes often contain these additives.
Many types of tips
LTS Pipette Tips have many types of tips. There are non-filter/non-barrier tips, which are ideal for many non-sensitive applications, such as loading agarose gels and isolating DNA. These types of tips are often less expensive and can be purchased in bulk. These tips can also be purchased in pre-racked reloads, which are great for convenience. However, remember that bulk tips are not sterile. You can sterilize them by placing them in an autoclave.
Lint free cloth
Before using the pipette tip, clean it with a lint-free cloth. The sample can rapidly be sucked out of the tip opening if the tip is dirty. Don’t wipe the tip too much, because this will increase the risk of re-aspiration. You should also position the tip to touch the side of the container to deliver the sample. Once the tip has delivered the sample, press the second stop of the plunger. Then, you should remove the tip from the pipette, so that the sample can escape from it.
Accurate & efficient
Choosing the right pipette tips is a key step in ensuring that your experiments are accurate and efficient. Without proper tips, you may waste precious samples and reagents, as well as suffer from repeated stress injuries. Fortunately, there are many different types of pipette tips available.
Important factor to consider
Besides quality and quantity, the tip’s design is an important factor to consider. It needs to be easy to use and accurate. Also, its dimensions are critical and should be accurate and precise. A quality pipette tip will be able to handle the liquid accurately and deliver accurate results.
Non-Volatile Reagents
There are two main types of pipette tips: sterile and non-sterile. The non-sterile type is used for simple laboratory experiments, while the sterile type is used in more complex experiments. Non-sterile pipettes are great for simple labs and are ideal for non-volatile reagents.
Performance & Safety
Pipettes need regular maintenance to maintain their performance and safety. Cleaning should be done with soft cloths and lint-free tissues. You should also check your pipettes for damage or corrosion. If they have, send them to the manufacturer or service provider.
Success of Laboratory Experiments
Pipette tips are essential to the success of laboratory experiments. They help prevent cross-contamination and produce more accurate results. While these tips are generally disposable, you can purchase autoclavable or sterilizable ones. Depending on your application, you may need a sterile tip to ensure a high-quality result.
Types of Pipette Tips
There are several types of pipette tips. These include graduated, barrier, and capillary piston tips. Using the right type is essential for accurate and reproducible results. These tips should be used with a specific pipette model. In most cases, it is best to use manufacturer tips, although alternative brands may be acceptable if they are tested and proven to work well with your pipette model.
Capillary Piston
Capillary Piston Pipette Tips are ideal for difficult-to-pipette liquids. Made of pure polypropylene, they contain no dyes or other contaminants. They are available in sizes ranging from 1 uL to 1000 uL. The tips can be conveniently stored in tip racks and are color-coded for easy identification. Capillary Piston pipette tips are suitable for use with a variety of pipettes, including Microman, and can be easily fitted into all tube sizes.
Capillary Piston pipettes are ideal for the pipetting of non-aqueous liquids such as reagents and pharmaceutical formulations. The non-dye-based pistons can be used for liquids with high density and viscosity. The capillary piston makes direct contact with the liquid, ensuring precise dispensing without droplets or clogging.
Graduated pipette
Graduated pipette tips are designed to be precise and ergonomic in use. Their graduated volume markings allow users to visually assess the accuracy of their measurements. The tips are made of clear polypropylene and autoclavable. A wide range of sizes is available. Designed for use with most standard pipettors, these tips fit well into a variety of containers.
Final Words:
The large orifice and broader opening of these tips minimizes shear forces and flow resistance in viscous samples. They are made of high-grade virgin polypropylene, have metal-free interior and exterior tip walls, and have exceptional clarity. There are several types of graduated pipette tips available for most brands of pipettes.
