Low-Retention Micropipette Tips MICROLIT 10 µL Universal Fit

Description

Product Overview

MICROLIT low‑retention micropipette tips are engineered to provide a clean‑release, hydrophobic surface that dramatically reduces sample adhesion and hold‑back. The proprietary surface treatment creates a non‑sticky interface, allowing liquids—including viscous, protein‑rich, or cell‑laden solutions—to flow freely from the tip without residual droplets. Each tip is manufactured from high‑quality, chemically inert polymer that meets ISO‑certified cleanroom standards, ensuring the absence of RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors. The tips are supplied in a clear, lightweight rack system that holds 96 tips per rack, with ten racks included for a total of 960 tips. This organization facilitates rapid access, minimizes contamination risk, and supports efficient workflow on the bench. The universal fit design accommodates a broad range of single‑channel and multichannel pipettors, including MICROLIT RBO and NERO models as well as other major brands, delivering a secure, leak‑free seal across the majority of laboratory pipetting instruments.

Usage

These tips are ideal for a wide spectrum of laboratory applications. In molecular biology, the low‑retention surface ensures accurate transfer of nucleic acids, enzymes, and reagents, preserving reaction stoichiometry and improving assay reproducibility. In biochemistry and protein work, the hydrophobic coating prevents adsorption of valuable proteins, enabling precise quantification and downstream analysis. The tips also perform reliably in cell culture, where gentle handling of cell suspensions is critical to maintain viability. Because the tips are free from detectable contaminants, they are suitable for PCR, qPCR, RT‑PCR, ELISA, and next‑generation sequencing library preparation. The universal compatibility means that researchers can use the same tip set across multiple instruments, reducing inventory complexity and cost. The stackable rack design fits neatly into standard laboratory storage drawers, allowing quick retrieval during high‑throughput workflows such as drug screening, diagnostic testing, and educational laboratory exercises.

Why Choose Us

Choosing MICROLIT means selecting a brand with over three decades of experience in laboratory instrumentation and consumables. Our tips undergo rigorous quality control in ISO‑certified cleanrooms, with each batch tested for dimensional consistency, tip integrity, and absence of nucleic acid contaminants. The low‑retention surface technology is the result of extensive research aimed at minimizing sample loss while maintaining tip flexibility and durability. Customers benefit from a reliable seal that prevents leakage even under high‑pressure dispensing, reducing the risk of cross‑contamination. The transparent rack system not only protects the tips from dust and debris but also allows visual inspection of tip condition before use. In addition, MICROLIT provides responsive technical support and a clear return policy, ensuring that laboratories can rely on both product performance and after‑sales service.

FAQ

What does low‑retention mean and why is it important?

Low‑retention refers to the tip’s ability to release liquid without leaving a residual film. This is crucial when working with small volumes or expensive reagents because it ensures that the intended amount of sample is transferred, improving assay accuracy and reducing waste.

Are these tips compatible with my existing pipettor?

The tips are designed for universal compatibility with most 10 µL pipettors, including both single‑channel and multichannel models from major manufacturers. They form a tight, leak‑free seal, but we recommend checking the pipettor’s tip holder dimensions for a perfect fit.

Can I use these tips for PCR and qPCR applications?

Yes. The tips are produced in a cleanroom environment and are free from RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors, making them suitable for sensitive nucleic acid amplification techniques such as PCR, qPCR, and RT‑PCR.

How should I store the tips to maintain their quality?

Store the racks in a dry, dust‑free environment at room temperature. The clear rack protects the tips from contamination and allows easy visual inspection. Avoid exposing the tips to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
