Art Aerosol Resistant Tips
Q. Are ART® Brand
Tips certified contamination-free?
A. Yes! MBP follows strict contamination-control
procedures as a part of our quality assurance program, and we
have an independent laboratory test our "Racked" ART®
products to ensure they are free of specific contaminants such
as RNase, DNase, genomic DNA and pyrogens. Pre-sterilized products
are clearly marked with a sterilization indicator. MBP has Certificates
of Analysis on file and will provide them opon request. All
"Bulk" ART Tips are manufactured and packaged under
the same strict quality control measures as our ART and PURE
tips.
Q. Does the Low Retention
technology leave any coating or other material that will leach
into my sample?
A. No, just like all MBP tips, low retention
pipet tips are manufactured from completely inert, virgin polypropylene.
Q. I use a multi-channel
pipettor and frequently have a hard time finding tips that fit
well. Is there anything I can do?
A. Yes! Try MBP's tips with the SoftFit feature.
This feature allows the tip to be loaded and ejected more easily,
giving a uniform fit across all channels of a multi-channel
pipettor. In addition, the tip conforms better to the pipettor
shaft giving a better seal and thus more accurate pipetting.
Tips with the SoftFit feature are clearly identified in our
catalog and throughout our web site. Also, tips with a "U"
designation in the catalog number feature a wide-base rack design
to make the rack stable and seating uniform when the tips are
loaded onto a multi-channel pipettor.
Q. The tips that I
ordered do not fit on my pipettor, what should I do?
A. First, please check to ensure the tip you
have is compatible with the pipettor you are using by referring
to the Tip Search Function in this web site. If you are still
experiencing difficulties please contact our customer service
center at 800-995-2787 or 858-453-7551.
Q. What is Low Retention
Technology?
A. Low retention is a manufacturing process
that creates a very high surface energy on a polypropylene tip
thereby making it easer to aspirate your entire sample.
Q. Will Low Retention
affect my research in anyway?
A. Low retention is not for everyone. When
pipetting certain proteins with hydrophobic properties you may
find that more sample will remain in the tip. For this reason,
we offer products that are both "standard" and "low
retention" in an effort to provide all researchers with
valuable consumable option tailored to their specific needs.
