The role of the filter tip:
Because the filter tip is a disposable filter tip, the biggest function during use is to prevent cross contamination: Unlike other filter types that contain additives that can inhibit enzymatic reactions, BIOFOUNT's filtered pipette tips are made of pure Made of original sintered polyethylene. The hydrophobic polyethylene particles prevent aerosols and liquids from being sucked into the pipette.
The filter of the filter tip is machine loaded to ensure that the tip is completely unaffected during the manufacturing and packaging process. They are certified to be free of RNase, DNase, DNA and pyrogen contamination. In addition, all filters are pre-sterilized by radiation after packaging to enhance the protection of biological samples.
The use of filter tips can be used to prevent the pipette from being damaged by the sample and greatly increase the service life of the pipette.
When to use the filter tip:
When to use the filter tip technique? Filtered pipette tips must be used in all molecular biology applications that are sensitive to contamination. The filter tip helps reduce the possibility of smoke formation, prevents aerosol contamination, and protects the pipette shaft from cross contamination. In addition, the filter barrier prevents the sample from being carried away from the pipette, thereby preventing PCR contamination.
The filter tip also prevents the sample from entering the pipette and causing damage to the pipette during pipetting.
Why do I have to use filter tips to detect viruses?
The virus is contagious. If the filter tip is not used to isolate the virus in the sample during the virus detection process, the virus will be transmitted through the pipette;
The test samples are different, and the filter tip can organize the cross-contamination of the sample during the pipetting process.
