FAQs: The Science Behind Rainin Pipette Tips
What is the purpose of the aerosol barrier filter?
The “tortuous path” aerosol barrier filter in Rainin pipette tips serves two main purposes:
- It prevents cross-contamination between samples by blocking aerosols and liquids from entering the pipette barrel.
- It protects the user from exposure to aerosolized contaminants like bacteria and viruses that may be present in the samples.
The sintered polyethylene filter creates a winding path that traps aerosols while allowing air to flow through the pipette tip.
How does the low retention coating improve accuracy?
Rainin’s proprietary low retention coating creates a superhydrophobic surface inside the pipette tips. This specialized coating prevents liquid adhesion to the tip walls, minimizing the residual volume left in the tip after dispensing.
By reducing the amount of liquid that clings to the tip, the low retention coating ensures more accurate and complete dispensing, especially when working with viscous or low surface tension liquids like detergents, proteins, enzymes, and DNA solutions.
What makes the LiteTouch System (LTS) tips ergonomic?
The LiteTouch System (LTS) tips from Rainin are designed to reduce the force required to load and eject tips from LTS pipettes. This ergonomic design is achieved through a unique tip geometry and materials that create an airtight seal on Rainin LTS pipettes.
By minimizing the physical effort required for tip mounting and ejection, LTS tips help reduce hand fatigue and strain, making it more comfortable to perform extended pipetting tasks in the laboratory.
