Protect Your Research

All filter tips are not created equal. Pipetting generates aerosols that can be transferred from one sample to another. The right filter tips can prevent contamination of sensitive experiments and loss of time and/or rare samples. Laboratory tests with 100 nm particles prove our ultra high density filters provide greater protection than competing brands, blocking >99% of particles.

Comparative Investigations on the Blocking Efficiency of Filter Pipet Tips

The blocking efficiency of filter tips is investigated using airborne particles. Filter tips seated on air displacement pipettors are used to prevent potential contamination of the pipettor tip cones (i.e. DNA fragments). The more effective the filter is, the more the risk of contamination is reduced. This is of utmost importance for preventing false-positive results, especially in highly sensitive PCR experiments. In this investigation, TipOne® 200 µl filter tips have been compared with those of other manufacturers.
