Ultra-smooth surfaces reduce the significant amounts of DNA that can be lost by adherence to the walls of pipette tips, micro-centrifuge tubes or micro plates
Studies in the use of standard polypropylene products in life science laboratories indicate that significant amounts of DNA can be lost by adherence to the walls of pipette tips, micro-centrifuge tubes or micro plates.
DNA fragments tend to denature when binding to the polypropylene walls.
Using a unique manufacturing process, Axygen Scientific has developed an innovative series of products that feature ultra smooth surfaces. Maxymum recovery products are completely free of occlusions and cavities.
This is achieved through the combination of a modification to the original polypropylene resin, used in the manufacturing process and the use of Axygen's ultra-smooth, diamond polished moulds.
The resulting Maxymum recovery range of products virtually eliminates sample retention during sample aspiration and dispensing.
Not only will this provide more reliable results but will also reduce expensive reagent costs typically by 10-15%, says stockist QCL.
