lab plasticware designed to prevent sample and pipette contamination by acting as a barrier against aerosols and liquids, ensuring reliable results in sensitive applications like molecular biology and cell culture. They are made from polypropylene (PP) and include a hydrophobic filter (often polyethylene or porous PE) that traps airborne particles and liquid splashes from entering the pipette. These tips are sterilized, often by gamma radiation, and certified to be free of contaminants like DNase, RNase, and DNA, which is crucial for PCR and genetic studies.
Key Features
Aerosol Barrier: The filter prevents the formation and transfer of aerosols, protecting both the sample and the pipette.
