Microvolume Pipette Tips

Microvolume Pipette Tips

Microvolume Pipette Tips are precision-engineered disposable tips designed for use with micro-pipettes to handle very small liquid volumes. They are used in applications where accuracy and precision are crucial, such as in molecular biology, PCR, cell culture, and other scientific experiments that require microliter or nanoliter volumes of liquids. These tips are designed to fit tightly on pipette shafts and deliver highly accurate, reproducible volumes for sensitive tasks.

Specifications:

• Material: Typically made from high-quality polypropylene (PP) for chemical resistance, clarity, and durability

• Size Range: Available in a range of sizes for different micro-pipette capacities, usually from 0.1 µL to 1000 µL

• Graduation: Some microvolume tips feature graduations to help with volume measurement, although many are used as single-use tips without volume markings

• Sterility: Available in both sterile (individually sealed) and non-sterile variants depending on the application

• Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with a wide variety of micro-pipettes, including those from brands such as Eppendorf, Thermo Scientific, Gilson, and others

• Clear and Transparent: Often clear or slightly translucent to allow easy visual inspection of sample volume and to ensure proper sample filling

• Low Retention: Many microvolume tips are manufactured to have low retention surfaces to minimize the loss of sample due to adhesion to the tip walls

• Packaging: Typically sold in racks, bulk packs, or individually wrapped for sterility

Uses:

• Molecular Biology Applications:

  • Used for accurate and precise measurement and transfer of small volumes in processes like PCR, qPCR, ELISA, and RNA/DNA extraction

• Cell Culture:

  • Essential for handling small volumes of media, growth factors, or reagents in cell culture experiments

• Protein and Enzyme Analysis:

  • Required for tasks like enzyme assays, protein quantification, or antibody dilutions, where small amounts of solutions need to be mixed or dispensed

• Diagnostic Tests:

  • Used in diagnostic and clinical labs for precise handling of reagents in micro-scale diagnostic tests

• Pharmaceutical and Research:

  • Critical for drug formulation, high-throughput screening, and other research where microliter volumes are necessary

• Environmental Sampling:

  • Ideal for environmental science tasks where small, precise liquid samples are needed for analysis

• Forensic and Toxicology Testing:

  • Used in forensic labs to handle small, delicate liquid samples for chemical analysis

Features:

• ✅ Precision and Accuracy: Designed for extremely precise liquid handling, reducing error in experiments and assays that require small, exact volumes

• ✅ Low Retention: Many tips are treated to reduce the retention of liquids inside the tip, ensuring that the full volume is dispensed into the target container

• ✅ Sterility Options: Available in sterile options, ensuring no contamination during sensitive procedures, such as working with biological samples or drugs

• ✅ Clear and Transparent: Allows users to visually inspect the amount of liquid in the tip for precise sample handling

• ✅ Wide Compatibility: Compatible with various pipette models across different brands, offering flexibility and ease of use

• ✅ Tapered End: The tapered tip design ensures smooth liquid flow, reducing the risk of splashing or dispensing errors

• ✅ Easy to Use: Designed for quick, one-handed operation and efficient sample transfer

• ✅ Precision Fitting: Ensures a secure fit with the pipette shaft, preventing leaks or inaccuracies in volume transfer

Safety Notes:

• Proper Disposal: These are single-use, disposable items and should be disposed of properly to prevent contamination or accidents

• Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the pipette tips are compatible with the chemicals you are handling, especially when working with aggressive solvents or corrosive liquids

• Avoid Cross-Contamination: Use new tips for each sample to avoid cross-contamination, especially when working with biological or highly sensitive chemicals

• Handling Tips: Be careful when using these tips with highly volatile or precious samples to avoid losing volume during transfer
