New Span-8
P50 Conductive Pipette Tips have
been introduced by Beckman Coulter, Inc. to complement their existing P50
Non-Conductive Tip line. Both conductive and non-conductive tips provide access
into deep and narrow labware such as Microfuge tubes, 1.4 mL storage tubes and
deep-well plates. The tips feature a fine point that facilitates efficient
transfer of the small sample volumes characteristic of assay miniaturization
and are offered for use on the company's Biomek* Laboratory Automation
Workstations.
The new P50 Conductive Pipette Tips take advantage of
the liquid-level sensing technology in Biomek workstations. Developed for
applications in which volumes are not always known or specified, this feature
is especially useful when pipetting from tubes containing saliva or blood
samples from a variety of sources. It allows pipetting from the top of the
liquid rather than the bottom of the tube or plate. This reduces the
tip's exterior wetted surface, minimizing cross-contamination and conserving
valuable samples.
"Validated Biomek P50 Pipette Tips from Beckman
Coulter are an important component of the total system solution for
applications such as qPCR and sample preparation for next generation
sequencing," explained Jerome Lim, product manager at Beckman Coulter. "Using
validated components in an automated system - from hardware and software to
consumables - is key to generating high-quality, repeatable assay results."
An import file containing tip definitions, pipetting
techniques and templates provides validation support and helps optimize
efficiency. Tip information is automatically populated in the Biomek's
labware library. Tip-rack colours are captured in software, speeding method
development by minimizing potential errors in tip selection and Biomek deck set-up.
Made using 100 percent premium-grade virgin
polypropylene, the tips are manufactured in a controlled environment to
stringent specifications. Samples are tested for biological
certifications and statistical process-control product sampling is conducted.
Provided in environmentally responsible packaging, the tips can be purchased
through
