Description
With their unique safety air gap, SafetySpace™ Filter Tips are designed to prevent cross-contamination with the filter barrier as well as loss of sample. The unique positioning of the filter leaves more space between the sample and the filter than in conventional filter tips. This allows pipetting any type of liquid or using any pipetting technique without the risk of the valuable sample permeating the filter.
The SafetySpace™ feature is particularly useful in:
- pipetting foaming liquids such as buffers and proteins
-
pipetting solvents
-
multiple dispensing functions of electronic pipettes
-
reverse pipetting
-
any other application requiring extra space in the tip
The tips are made of virgin polypropylene and the filter of polyethylene without "self-sealing" additives to avoid any interference with the sample and the results. The filter barrier helps protect against cross-contamination of the sample and/or the pipette and reduces the need for pipette maintenance. The filter tips are available in multiple volumes from 10 µl to 1200 µl and are packed in color coded single tray racks. They are certified free of DNase, RNase, and endotoxins, and are pre-sterilized.
The filter barrier and the certified purity makes the filter tips ideal for:
- molecular biology
-
microbiology
-
cell culture applications
-
radioactive work
