Filter Racked Pipette Tips

# Filter Racked Pipette Tips

Nanostore Filter Racked Pipette Tips combine maximum aerosol protection with ready-to-use convenience for sensitive molecular biology workflows. Each tip incorporates a built-in hydrophobic filter barrier and arrives pre-loaded in hinged racks, eliminating setup time while delivering comprehensive contamination protection for PCR, qPCR, and high-value sample processing applications.

## Key Features

Maximum Protection, Zero Setup
Each tip contains a built-in hydrophobic UHMWPE filter barrier that protects pipettes from aerosol and liquid contamination. Tips arrive ready-to-use in hinged racks – no loading required, no contamination risk during setup. Begin pipetting immediately with both convenience and protection.

Hydrophobic Filter Barrier Technology
Built-in hydrophobic UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) filter provides comprehensive protection:
– Prevents aerosol contamination of pipette internals
– Blocks liquid overflow from entering pipette shaft
– Eliminates cross-contamination between samples
– Protects pipette calibration from corrosive or volatile samples
– Essential for RNA/DNA work, radioactive materials, and biohazardous samples
– Does not impede airflow or affect pipetting accuracy

Hinged Rack Design
Professional-grade hinged racks optimize workflow efficiency:
– Easy access for single-channel or multichannel pipettes
– Hinged lid stays open at 120deg during use
– Stable base design prevents tipping
– Reusable racks withstand repeated autoclaving cycles
– Color-coded wafers enable quick volume identification

Universal Pipette Compatibility
Compatible with all major pipette brands including Eppendorf, Gilson, Rainin, Thermo Fisher, Sartorius, and Integra. Precision-molded tips ensure secure, low-force fit for leak-free performance across pipette platforms.

Certified Quality Standards
– DNase/RNase Free – Safe for sensitive RNA/DNA applications
– Sterile – Gamma irradiated, ready for immediate use
– Pyrogen Free – No endotoxins
– Human DNA Free – No contamination risk
– Low Retention Surface – Minimal sample loss

Premium Material Construction
Tips manufactured from virgin polypropylene (PP) with smooth interior walls for consistent liquid handling. Filter membrane is hydrophobic UHMWPE for reliable aerosol barrier performance. Both tips and racks are autoclavable for repeated sterilization protocols.

Sustainable Laboratory Design
Reusable rack system reduces plastic waste compared to disposable tip systems. Racks withstand hundreds of refill cycles. Both tips and racks are recyclable (PP #5) at end of life.

Quality Traceability
High-definition laser markings on tip wafers provide lot number identification for quality control tracking and regulatory compliance requirements.

## Rack Reuse Protocol

After tip depletion, racks can be refilled with Nanostore filter tip reload refills or sterilized for reuse:

1. Remove any shrink wrap packaging from empty rack
2. Prop lid open using front tab
3. Autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
4. Allow rack to dry thoroughly before refilling
5. Inspect rack for damage before reuse
