Enjoy maximum reproducibility with epT.I.P.S. LoRetention. These low retention pipette tips are designed with ‘Pearl Effect’ Technology, an innovative, molecular level treatment creating an ultrahydrophobic, extremely homogeneous surface.

epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. LoRetention filter tips are perfect for maximizing sample recovery and improving reproducibility when working with detergent solutions, in particular for sensitive PCR and real-time PCR applications. epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips increase reproducibility and notably reduce the loss of expensive reagents by up to 5 %!

Detergents, or detergent containing liquids, lower a liquid’s surface tension. This leads to a phenomenon called “wetting”: Residual liquid sticks to the tip wall and cannot be recovered. The invisible film left behind in standard tips retains a significant amount of valuable sample material which is discarded together with the tip. The innovative, ultrahydrophobic ‘Pearl Effect’ technology makes epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. LoRetention filter tips ideal for applications with samples that contain detergents such as:

› PCR and real-time PCR preparation of enzyme solutions and master mixes
› NGS library preparation
› Isolation, purification and denaturation of proteins
› Restriction digestions and ligations
› Pipetting DNA ladders during gel electrophoresis
