Produced in a controlled environment with gamma-irradiation, these pipette tips are certified free from DNA, DNase, and RNase and are therefore ideal for sensitive procedures such as PCR
Thermo Electron's Finntip Filter range of pipette tips provides certified protection against contamination for both sample and pipette.
The non-sealing filter prevents the transfer of aerosols from tip to pipette and vice versa, ensuring the integrity of any pipetting function.
Produced in a controlled environment with gamma-irradiation, Finntip Filter pipette tips are certified free from DNA, DNase, and RNase.
Finntip Filters are therefore ideal for all applications and especially for sensitive procedures such as PCR-based reactions.
With extremely low sample retention, the tips are also perfect for pipetting small volumes or valuable compounds.
The high-molecular weight virgin polyethylene of the filters offers superior resistance to aerosol and fluid ingress.
Similarly, the virgin polypropylene used in the tips is cast in specially designed moulds, producing straight and even sides.
These plastics provide excellent chemical resistance and can therefore be used on a wide range of liquids.
The non-sealing nature of the filter also allows the safe recovery of a sample after accidental ingress without any loss of integrity.
Although optimised for use with Thermo's Finnpipettes, the entire Finntip Filter range can fit on the majority of common pipettes.
To maintain high levels of purity and sterility, Thermo has invested in state-of-the-art tip production facilities.
Precise air monitoring and production in a controlled environment are combined with a significant level of automation to minimise airborne and manual contamination sources.
Irradiation of the tips is completed to ISO 11137 standards with a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 1x10-6, ie, one object in 1,000,000 may be non-sterile.
