Pipette tips are indispensable consumables for daily work in any laboratory that utilizes pipettes. They serve as the direct interface between the pipette and the liquid, enabling accurate, safe, and contamination-free transfer of various liquid volumes. Choosing high-quality and suitable tips is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of pipetting results and preventing cross-contamination.
Pipette tips are not just pieces of plastic; they are precision technical components that directly contribute to pipetting performance. A high-quality tip must fit perfectly onto the pipette cone to ensure an absolutely airtight seal. A poor seal will lead to air aspiration, leaks, and severely compromise volumetric accuracy. Furthermore, the raw material from which the tip is made (typically high-quality polypropylene) affects its cleanliness, Low Retention properties (preventing viscous or precious liquids from adhering to the tip walls), and chemical compatibility with aggressive fluids.
For critical applications, such as work in molecular biology, microbiology, or cell culture, tip sterility is essential to prevent sample contamination. Sterile tips undergo a stringent sterilization process and are supplied in packaging that guarantees sterility maintenance. Filter tips provide an additional layer of protection, preventing aerosols from entering the pipette shaft and protecting it from contamination, as well as preventing cross-contamination between samples or between the pipette and the sample. Barrier tips are vital for protecting both the sample and the pipette itself.
Pipette tips are used in every laboratory where accurate or sterile pipetting is performed, across a wide range of applications:
They are available in various volumes, ranging from ultra-micro volumes (for working with very low-volume pipettes like 0.1-2 µL) up to large volumes (10 mL and above), as well as in different packaging formats – racked in specific boxes, in bulk bags, and in environmentally friendly refill systems.
Labotal understands the critical role that pipette tips play in laboratory work. Therefore, we offer only the highest quality tips, manufactured from clean and high-grade polymeric materials and designed with maximum precision to ensure a perfect fit on a wide range of standard pipettes (including pipettes from Gilson, Eppendorf, Thermo Scientific, and many others). Our selection includes tips in various volumes, sterile tips, filter tips to prevent aerosols, and tips with enhanced Low Retention properties.
We work with world-renowned manufacturers who adhere to strict quality control, high manufacturing standards (e.g., ISO 9001, Good Manufacturing Practice – GMP), and perform quality testing for every batch, including testing for levels of DNAse, RNAse, Endotoxin, and other inhibitory substances.
