These racks contain 60 % less plastic – significantly reducing the amount of plastic used in the lab – and save space by stacking for storage and compressing for recycling. The ECO Racks can also be paired with the company’s one-of-a-kind, reusable PopTop Base for the most convenient pipetting experience.
INTEGRA understands that there isn’t one tip for every application, which is why the company offers a variety of options alongside its standard GripTips to match the needs of specific laboratory workflows. For example, the 300 µl LONG GripTips allow access to 100 mm or 1.4 ml tubes without the concern of contaminating the pipette shaft, while the 1250 µl SHORT GripTips enable users to pipette closer to the workbench, improving pipetting ergonomics for repeated high volume pipetting tasks.
The larger aperture of WIDE BORE GripTips – with an inner diameter of 1.5 mm – alleviates shearing forces, helping to improve the consistency of cell-based applications without affecting cell viability, spreading and proliferation. These tips also reduce flow resistance when pipetting some non-aqueous solutions. For example, they allow very viscous solutions – e.g. 80 % glycerol – to enter the tip more easily and can reduce foaming when dispensing washing agents such as Tween® 20. The new ECO Rack options for these specialty GripTips extend and complement INTEGRA's existing range of environmentally friendly pipetting solutions, while maintaining the high standards that customers expect.

GripTips for INTEGRA Pipettes
INTEGRA BiosciencesThe GripTips together with VIAFLO, VOYAGER and EVOLVE pipettes from INTEGRA form an integral system. Pipette tip and pipette were designed to fit perfectly together. As a result, the loading and attachment forces of the tips could be reduced to minimize wrist related stresses. In addition, the system provides a perfect tip sealing and reliably prevents tips from accidently falling off during pipetting. Consistent and safe pipetting guaranteed! Using Low Retention GripTips from INTEGRAwith heightened hydrophobic properties prevents low surface tension samples from spreading out at the inner wall of the tips for a maximum liquid recovery. Available in five volumes (12.5 µl to 5000 µl) GripTips come in bulk or stackable boxes (non-sterile, sterile and filtered) featuring colour-coded inserts that correspond to the volume ranges of the INTEGRA pipettes. The 12.5 µl and 125 µl GripTips come in 384-fold configuration, so the same tips and boxes can be used with 16-channel pipettes as well. The GREEN CHOICE is an environmentally friendly packaging of GripTips. Each GREEN CHOICE contains five GripTip inserts of non-sterile or pre-sterilized GripTips to refill the current tip boxes. Features and benefits: GripTips snap onto the tip fitting of INTEGRA pipettes, which prevents tips from falling off. Reduced tip attachment and ejection forces for comfortable, stress-free pipetting. Precise and consistent tip seal ensures that all tips on a multichannel pipette are precisely at an identical height for reliable touch offs and consistent pipetting results.
