In the laboratory, although a pipette tip is a small item, it may play a key role in the success or failure of the experiment. Different experiments have different requirements. Only by choosing the right tip can the accuracy and efficiency of the experiment be improved. Next, we will provide you with a detailed analysis of the characteristics and applicable scenarios of various suction tips to help you make the right choice easily.
01 Universal tips
Aijin universal pipette tips can be adapted to most pipettes on the market and come in a variety of types, including filter and non-filter, extended and non-extended, ordinary and low adsorption, etc. In addition, there are also tips specially used for gel spotting, as well as large-capacity tips such as 5ml and 10ml. Appropriate tips can effectively reduce experimental errors and improve data reliability.
For example, in weighing experiments, tips with high accuracy and adaptability can greatly reduce experimental data errors and make the experimental results more ideal.
02 Filter and non-filter tips
The filter tip has a built-in biological filter membrane. This structure can effectively prevent samples and aerosols from entering the inside of the pipette. It can not only protect the pipette, extend its service life, but also ensure experimental safety . Non-filter tips have a relatively simple structure and are suitable for routine low-risk experiments such as ordinary solution transfer and buffer preparation. They are an economical and affordable choice.
03 To lengthen or not to lengthen the suction head
The extended suction head is suitable for tall and narrow containers. For deep-well plates, centrifuge tubes, slender bottles and other containers, it can easily reach the bottom of the container and accurately absorb liquids, while avoiding the difficulty of operation caused by tilting the container. In contrast, the non-extended suction head is suitable for conventional containers such as Petri dishes, is easy to operate, has strong versatility, and can meet the needs of most routine experiments.
04 Regular and low-adsorption tips
Regular tips are commonly used for routine liquid transfers. The low-adsorption tips are designed with a hydrophobic coating, which can reduce liquid residue, thereby improving recovery rate and pipetting accuracy. For high-value or high-viscosity samples such as protein solutions, cell suspensions, and enzyme preparations , low-adsorption tips can significantly reduce sample loss and ensure the accuracy of experimental data.
05 Gel spotting tips
The gel-spotting tip is specially designed for electrophoresis experiments. Its end is longer and thinner, which can accurately control the amount of micro-samples loaded. In experiments such as DNA/RNA electrophoresis and protein electrophoresis, using gel loading tips not only simplifies the gel loading process, but also improves loading accuracy , reduces sample waste, and makes experimental operations more efficient.
06 Large capacity tips
In large-volume liquid transfer scenarios such as medium replacement and batch reagent dispensing, 5ml and 10ml large-capacity pipette tips come in handy. The use of large-capacity pipette tips can reduce frequent pipetting operations , greatly shorten operation time, and improve the accuracy and consistency of experimental results. It is very suitable for high-throughput experiments.
07 Three packaging methods
Aijin pipette tips provide three types of packaging methods: bagging, boxing and stacked boxes to meet the needs of different laboratories.
The bagged tips save space and can reduce 85% of plastic waste; the boxed tips are easy to operate with one hand, and the measuring ranges are distinguished by four mid-plate colors for easy identification and are suitable for routine experimental operations.
The stacked tips are designed with a blister stack, which reduces the amount of plastic by 85% compared to traditional boxed tips. A single stack can replace 5-10 boxes of traditional tips, saving 60% of storage space. Its cover-free design allows 96 tips to be replenished in just 10 seconds. The specifications are distinguished by three colors to accurately match experimental needs. It is especially suitable for high-throughput experiments and users who pursue high efficiency and environmental protection.
From general-purpose tips to Integra® and R-style® tips , Aijin is committed to providing comprehensive pipetting solutions for laboratories. The core of scientific selection is to match the experimental needs. Details such as precise scale, stable sealing and low adsorption design are the key to the reliability of experimental data. I hope this guide will help you quickly identify your needs and make every pipetting accurate and efficient!
