BRAND^® filter tips low retention, racked, TipBox

Pipette tips and filter tips are manufactured by BRAND in a cleanroom under the most modern production conditions, and are automatically rack packed and packaged to ensure that the tips are of consistently high quality.

Non-self-sealing filter tips from BRAND have a PE filter that is free from chemical additives. Permeability is controlled by the combination of pore size and filter length, so that no aerosols can reach the pipette shaft. These filters function with consistent reliability. On the other hand, liquids can pass very slowly should they accidentally contact the filter.

Since the filter does not swell as in the case of self-sealing filter tips, the sample can be recovered from the filter by simply actuating the pipette′s blow-out function, or by centrifugation if necessary.

This is clearly an important advantage of non-self-sealing filters, especially when working with valuable samples. As an added advantage, the absence of filter additives protects samples from this source of contamination.

Ultra Low Retention-Pipette tips and Filter tips (ULR)
The surfaces of the Ultra Low Retention tips are produced through a special, patented physicochemical process. The homogeneous, defect-free surface thus produced has extremely low surface tension - over 50% less than PTFE (see table). This significantly reduces sample loss and provides substantially higher reproducibility when working with critical media.

• Ideal for biological samples that contain detergents such as Triton^™ X-100, SDS, Tween etc
• No additives that can be leached out! No siliconization of the surface!
• High chemical resistance. Ideal for working with solvents
• The tips can be autoclaved at 121°C (2 bar) without damaging the material properties
