Eppendorf has introduced EPtips Loretention, which features 'pearl effect' surface technology to ensure maximum sample recovery when dispensing detergent solutions.
EPtips Loretention tips have no coating or additive that might affect or bleed into the sample.
The pearl effect technology utilised in the design renders the tip surface ultra-hydrophobic through a modification at the molecular level.
As a result, detergent solutions roll off completely and the sample is not lost.
Designed for use in PCR, real-time PCR, proteomics and molecular biology applications, EPtips Loretention can deliver cost reductions of up to five per cent, which can be significant when using expensive reagents such as qPCR and PCR master mixes.
The ultra-homogenous surface of EPtips Loretention ensures maximum precision and reproducibility, preventing the formation of air bubbles and foaming during pipetting.
Eppendorf said data comparisons reveal that EPtips Loretention tips have the lowest residual liquid as well as higher chemical resistance and stability against autoclaving.
These comparisons can be found in the product brochure.
Applications for EPtips Loretention include preparation of enzyme solutions and master mixes for PCR and real-time PCR; isolation, purification and denaturation of proteins; restriction digestions and ligations; pipetting DNA ladders during gel electrophoresis.
