Categories Related to Filter Tips
Filter tips are pipette tips that incorporate a filter within them. They are designed to prevent the liquid or vapor of the sample from entering the pipette body during aspiration, thereby preventing cross-contamination between different samples. The filters, typically made of polyethylene, are hydrophobic, allowing air but not liquids to pass through.
Filter tips are essential when handling samples that could contaminate the pipette or in assays susceptible to cross-contamination, such as those involving radioisotopes or DNA and RNA for PCR assays. They are particularly useful for working with volatile, radioactive, corrosive materials, and biohazards like pathogenic microorganisms or genetically modified organisms.
The filters in filter tips are usually made from materials like high-density polyethylene, hydrophobic polypropylene, or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, among others. These filters are effective at preventing over-aspiration of liquid into the pipette body and stopping aerosols from entering the tip cone. Filter tips can be self-sealing to block liquids upon contact or non-self-sealing, both types aiding in preventing cross-contamination.
