Choosing the right pipette tips is a critical part of any lab test

Choosing Pipette Tips
Choosing the right pipette tips is a critical part of any lab test. The wrong tip can ruin your accuracy and may also cause contamination and even injury. Pipette tips are available in a range of different types and styles. It can be overwhelming to choose the right one. A good guide can help you choose the correct tip for your application.
There are two main types of pipette tips: filtered tips and non-filter tips. Filtered tips are designed to prevent aerosols from entering the pipette and are usually used for sensitive applications. Non-filter tips are used for general applications in the lab, such as loading agarose gels and isolating plasmid DNA. Both types of tips are available in a range of volume sizes from 0.1-1uL to 50-1000uL. The main difference between these two types of tips is their price. Filtered tips are more expensive than standard tips, but they are also designed to prevent the formation of aerosols, which can harm your samples. They can also be used to protect your pipettes and laboratory equipment.
Filtered tips come with a filter placed inside the tip. This barrier prevents the liquid from spreading, which is important for qPCR and other PCR applications. Filtered tips are also suitable for techniques involving vaporous materials and radioactive materials. They can also be used for sequencing.
A wide bore tip can help prevent cell shearing, which is caused by a narrow orifice. Wide bore tips also reduce flow resistance, which makes them ideal for transferring cellular samples. Standard tips have a narrow orifice and may damage fragile samples.
Another type of pipette tip is a universal tip. These tips are designed to fit micropipettes on the market. Universal tips are less expensive and can be used for a variety of applications. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them an ideal choice for labs.
These tips are typically manufactured with polypropylene, a plastic with a high level of sterility and free of additives. These tips can also come in different polypropylene blends, which offer heightened hydrophobic properties.
Zhejiang Saining Biotechnology Co., Ltd. pipette tips are manufactured in an environmentally-friendly way using the latest cleanroom techniques. They are made of high-purity polypropylene and come in a range of volume sizes, ranging from 0.1-1uL to 50-1000uL. They also feature a non-self-sealing PE filter, which prevents the tip from leaking. They also feature a BIO-CERT sterile seal, making them an ideal choice for laboratory use.
Filter pipette tips are also used for PCR and other techniques involving radioactive materials, vaporous materials, and biohazardous materials. Filter tips can also help you eliminate cross-contamination. They are an ideal choice for newbies. They are also used by Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which require that all pipettes be fitted with filter tips.

Pipette Tip
Pipette tips are biological consumables specially designed for quantitative pipetting operations with pipettes. According to the classification of pipettes and different experimental scenes, pipette tips are divided into standard tips of different ranges, extended tips, and low retention tips.
Features
*Unique shape design, suitable for brands of pipettes on the market, such as Eppendorf, Gilson, Thermo Fisher, Rainin, etc.
*No DNase, RNase, no pyrogen;
*After high-pressure steam sterilization (121℃ for 20 minutes), it still maintains good transparency, verticality, and pipetting accuracy;
*The filter element can effectively avoid cross-contamination between samples caused by the formation of aerosols due to the volatilization of the liquid during the pipetting process of the pipette tip;
*The low retention model can not only increase the recovery volume of precious samples, but also improve the accuracy of pipetting.
