Elkay Laboratory Products Ltd now offer an extensive range of low-binding filter pipette tips, from 10μl to 1200μl, with extended lengths and fine-tips.
Contamination resulting from sample adhesion on the tip wall or aerosols generated by pipetting action can adversely affect subsequent reactions and lead to inaccurate results. To reduce the effect of sample binding, Elkay utilise a proprietary bonded polymer that creates a hydrophobic surface that lowers surface tension between the sample and tip material. No additives are used and the polymer is both chemically resistant and inert. This ensures there is no leaching and that samples will not be affected by most common laboratory solvents such as acetone and chloroform.
The inert, hydrophobic filter in each tip reliably prevents both liquid and aerosol contamination of the pipette, while also wicking any sample away from the filter in the case of over-pipetting.
All Elkay filter tips are manufactured from premium-grade virgin polypropylene and are supplied RNase, DNase, DNA and Pyrogen free. This high-quality combination ensures scientists the peace of mind that they are not compromising sample integrity.
Free samples are available for evaluation purposes and customers are welcome to discuss their needs with an Elkay sales representative.
