Tecan tips are disposable pipette tips designed specifically for use with Tecan liquid handling systems. They offer several advantages over traditional glass or plastic pipettes, including:
- Consistency: Tecan tips are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent liquid handling and accuracy.
- Contamination prevention: Tecan tips are designed to be sterile and prevent cross-contamination, making them ideal for use in research and diagnostic laboratories.
- Reduced sample loss: The design of Tecan tips minimizes sample loss during liquid handling, preventing errors in experiments or diagnostic tests.
- Compatibility: Tecan tips are compatible with a wide range of liquid handling systems and can be used in a variety of applications.
The scope of application for Tecan tips is wide-ranging and includes applications in academic, industrial, and clinical laboratories. They are commonly used in genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, and clinical diagnostics. Tecan tips are particularly useful in high-throughput applications where accuracy, speed, and repeatability are essential. Additionally, the disposable nature of Tecan tips minimizes the risk of contamination and saves time and cost associated with cleaning and sterilization.
