SGB Low Retention Pipette Tips

A low-retention pipette tip works well with viscous and low-surface-tension liquids. Viscous (e.g., glycerol) and low-surface-tension liquids (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) adhere to the inside of standard pipette tips, increasing experimental uncertainty. The unique Rainin molding process creates tips with a highly repellent coating – a “superhydrophobic” surface over the entire tip. This prevents any adhesion between samples and the polypropylene tip surface, facilitating enhanced fluid movement.
