Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pipette tip?
A pipette tip is a disposable attachment for a micropipette that is used for the uptake and dispensing of liquids.
What is the difference between a filtered and non-filtered pipette tip?
Filter pipette tips are sterilized and contain an aerosol barrier. Non-filtered tips can be sterile or not and do not have a filter.
Why are filter pipette tips used?
Aspirating samples can create an aerosol (fine mist) that can get into and contaminate the pipettor, which can lead to the cross-contamination of subsequent samples. A filter pipette tip provides an aerosol barrier to prevent pipettor contamination.
Can filter pipette tips be autoclaved?
No, autoclaving will cause filter distortion that reduces its effectiveness as an aerosol barrier.
