A pipette can only be well equipped with a good suction head! The pipette tip is the most important factor affecting accurate pipetting. The pipette and the suction head together form a complete pipetting system. The best pipetting results are usually obtained by using pipettes and tips from the same manufacturer.

Low adsorption pipette tips:

Compared with common pipetting tips, low adsorption pipetting tips reduce the adsorption of samples by 3-5 times. The special low adsorption resin makes the inner surface of pipetting tips more hydrophobic, which significantly reduces the loss of samples due to adsorption and wall hanging. Has lower liquid adsorption and a better-pipetting effect. It is beneficial to save expensive reaction reagents, improve pipetting accuracy, and have 100% material inertness without precipitation.

Extended pipette tip:

Elongated tips can reach the bottom of test tubes, reaction bottles, flasks, and other containers. Avoid the lower end of the pipette from touching the inner wall of the sample container, which not only increases the safety protection for experimenters but also reduces the probability of cross-contamination of samples.

Filter pipette tip:

The filter element can prevent liquid from accidentally splashing into the pipette and prevent aerosol from penetrating into the pipette. Very suitable for gene research, forensic medicine, PCR, and radioisotope sampling. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers two kinds of filter tips: self-sealing and non-self-sealing filter tips. Self-sealing tips can prevent samples from penetrating and protect pipettes from being damaged or polluted by excessive inhalation.

Gel sampling pipette tip:

It is very time-consuming to spot acrylamide or agarose gel with standard tips. Suitable for gel electrophoresis and capillary loading.

Solvent carbon (filter element) suction pipette tips:

Solvent-safe carbon fiber filter pipetting tips are suitable for acid, alkali, and corrosive organic solvents. It is the best solution for precise pipetting required by combinatorial chemistry. Strong acid, alkali, and corrosive organic solvents can cause pipette damage and serious errors. Innovative and active carbon fiber ART filter tips can not only prevent samples from being damaged by gas-soluble gel and steam but also not affect the accuracy and accuracy of pipettes.

Wide-mouth suction pipette tips:

Large open tips are ideal for genomic DNA, fragile cell lines, and other sticky substances. Wide-mouthed tips have openings 70% larger than standard tips, and they can provide the flexibility needed to remove samples that are difficult to transfer. Designed for researchers who study macromolecules such as genomic DNA, and very suitable for transferring samples of fragile cell lines, such as macrophages, hybridoma cells, liver cells, etc. Using a standard suction head to remove these samples, when the samples pass through the narrow holes of the standard suction head, the samples will be damaged by mechanical shear force, resulting in cell damage and rupture. The use of wide-mouth tips will increase the viability of inoculated cells.

Separately packaged pipette tips:

For extremely sensitive pipetting applications, individually packaged tips can be used. Individually packaged sterile tips are suitable for applications requiring strict sterility. Such as heat source detection in biopharmaceuticals.

How to choose a good-quality oxygen mask?

An oxygen mask is a medical device that delivers oxygen to a patient who needs an extra supply of oxygen in their body. It is commonly used in hospitals, emergency medical services, and in-home healthcare. Oxygen masks are designed to fit over a patient’s mouth and nose and deliver oxygen at a regulated pressure.
