SAN DIEGO, CA, (August 31, 2007) – Today Molecular BioProducts, Inc. (MBP), a leading manufacturer of pipette tips, has improved its automation product line with the launch of the BioRobotix 384-well extended length 50µl pipette tips for Biomek FX/NX and Multimek AP384 workstations.

Now, researchers can pipette into 384 and 1536 shallow or deep-well plates with a single pipette tip, thus increasing volume and high throughput screening. As other 384-well tips on the market hold a maximum of 30µl and are not long enough to reach the bottom of deep-well plates, the BioRobotix 384-well extended length tips provide users with more access.

Like all BioRobotix products, the pipette tips, trays and tray lids are specifically designed to reduce static charges so tips pick up straight and eject perfectly each time.

Molecular BioProducts’ BioRobotixä brand tips are lot-tested on the actual workstations for which they were created. The 15-step Quality Control tests include parameters such as, Percentage of Coefficient of Variation (%CV) or, a measure of accuracy and precision; Total Indicator Runout (TIR) or, a measure of tip straightness; seal force and 12 other QC parameters to ensure consistent tip performance. Additionally, Molecular BioProducts’ provides sterile, non-sterile tips, and is the only manufacturer to guarantee contamination control with the patented Aerosol Resistant Tip (ARTâ filter).
