Could Pipette Tips Be the Key to Reproducibility?

Can a pipette tip really improve your results?

29 Aug 2017

Reproducibility is key for cells based assays. Traditional pipette tips can have several issues that compromise results including: nonspecific binding of sample to the pipette tip, droplet formation, and poor fit. This technical note explains how engineers at Biotix have developed technologically advanced pipette tips for better performance.

Biotix xTIP4 Pipette Tips for Rainin LTS Pipettes

Biotix

xTIP4 creates a perfect ergonomic system on LTS pipettes with our StarStop and FlexFit® technologies. These tips require a lower insertion force for a secure seal and eject with less force than competitors.  Combined with X-Resin® low retention and Blade® technologies, xTIP4 improves your accuracy and precision for a worry-free pipetting experience.
