Description
Volume (Metric): 30 μL
Unit Size: Case of 960
Benefits:
• Stringent testing guarantees filter tips that effectively block aerosols.
• Hydrophobic polyethylene filter material ensures no particulates contaminate samples.
• Inadvertent contact with filter will not contaminate sample or result in sample loss.
• Easy to open packaging maintains product sterility while providing easy access.
• Hinged lid allows rack to be opened without laying lid on benchtop, helping maintain sterility.
• Racks are sealed in thick polyethylene bag for sterility, which is easy to open with simple snap-and-tear packaging. Stringent Filter Testing:
• Filter must meet certain porosity requirements and must form a complete barrier across face of tip.
• To ensure defects are not present, two specific tests are performed: mercury intrusion and particle count testing.
• Mercury Intrusion Testing (QC 13.1 - QC 13.8) ensures the filter itself meets specific aerosol blocking requirements.
• Particle Count Testing (Test Protocol QAS-0100) ensures filter is effective at blocking aerosols after installation into tip; also ensures proper shape and fit of filter.
• Every lot of tips is tested by drawing a vacuum of aerosols against the filter and ensuring particles do not pass through. Recommended for:
• Bacteriology
• Gel loading
• PCR setup
• Preventing cross-contamination during routine pipetting
