Low Retention Tips
Optimum Flow for Optimum Recovery
The Sartorius Low Retention Tips are a perfect companion
for pipetting liquids with low surface tension - due to
their very even hydrophobic surface, they leave next to no
residue in the tip. In addition, the durable tip surface has
high chemical resistance securing sample integrity.
The Low Retention Tips save your valuable reagents and
secure reliable results with e.g. detergent containing samples
in sensitive molecular biology applications. The low retention
feature is available with a wide selection of Sartorius Optifit
Tips (non-filtered) as well as with SafetySpace™ Filter Tips,
with volumes from 10 μl to 1200 μl.
Features
– Manufactured using an advanced proprietary technology to
obtain even liquid repellent surface
– Filtered and non-filtered Low Retention Tips available, the filter
tips feature extra space between the sample and the filter
– Packaging and purity options for various needs
– Perfect fitting and sealing with Sartorius pipettes, matching
color coding of tip trays
– Compatible also with most other pipette makes (see compatibility
with other manufacturers’ pipettes at www.sartorius.com)
Benefits
Save Valuable Samples and Reagents
– Maximized sample recovery due to highly hydrophobic tip surface
– Up to 10 times less residue with detergents or other liquids with
low surface tension
Reliable Results
– Improved consistency of results and sample recovery due to the
highly even liquid repellent surface
– The safety air gap in filter tips allows accurate results also for
foaming liquids or solvents, which otherwise tend to easily
penetrate the filter barrier and risk the result accuracy
– All Sartorius tips are manufactured according to ISO 9001,
ISO
14001 and ISO13485 standards
– High Quality = correct shape, size, material, purity and uniformity
Sample Safety
– High chemical resistance secures the sample integrity
– The filter barrier and the extra space in the tip prevent cross-
contamination from sample to sample
– The filters (PE) are made without “self-sealing” additives not to emit
any particles that could interfere with the sample and the results
– Manufactured in ISO Class 8 certified cleanroom conditions,
using highly automated production to avoid contamination
– Every tip lot is tested by an external partner, and certified for
being DNase, RNase and endotoxin free
– Filter tips are e-beam irradiated for sterility
– All tip packages, including individual racks, are lot numbered for
full traceability
Less Risk for RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)
– Compatible with Optiload feature in Sartorius Picus® NXT, Picus®,
eLINE®, mLINE® and Proline® Plus pipettes enabling ergonomic
and light tip attachment and ejection
Applications
Better sample recovery and reproducibility in pipetting are
especially beneficial in sensitive molecular biology applications,
where reagents often contain detergents, for example in:
– DNA|RNA techniques, e.g. PCR, real-time PCR, cloning,
sequencing, RFLP
– Protein analysis & purification methods, e.g. SDS-PAGE
