INTEGRA Low Retention GripTips pipette tips

INTEGRA has introduced Low Retention pipette tips based on its GripTips multilobe design.

In creating the product range, the company has used a polypropylene blend to produce pipette tips with increased hydrophobic properties. Unlike silicone-coated pipette tips which can wash or leach out with the sample, the blended-polymer Low Retention GripTips will not negatively impact the user’s results.

Using standard pipette tips to pipette viscous samples, detergents and other low surface tension liquids can cause pipette tips to take on hydrophilic properties resulting in the spreading out of sample. In this type of application, the product can improve the user’s pipetting results. The heightened hydrophobic properties of the tips prevent samples from spreading out, enabling maximum liquid recovery.

Featuring a low attachment force and a low ejection force, the product effortlessly snaps onto pipette tip fittings and is easily ejected. Used in conjunction with INTEGRA pipettes, the tips offer a high lateral resistance, ensuring they are always firmly attached and aligned — regardless of how many side well touch-offs are performed. Users no longer have to hammer their pipette tips on or worry about pipette tips falling off.

The pipette tips are available for the complete range of INTEGRA pipettes, from the EVOLVE manual pipette to a VIAFLO 384 multichannel pipette and everything in between. They are offered in 6000 series racks as non-sterile, sterile and filter options.
