Laboratory
consumables
from Eppendorf offer superior standards in three important areas: purity
levels, the absence of additives which could influence assay results, and
minimised sample-to-surface binding. Meeting the needs of scientists using
tips, tubes and plates for routine assays or specialised work with sensitive
samples, Eppendorf's material selection and production processes follow the
highest quality standards.
Eppendorf
consumables are manufactured only from virgin polypropylene certified free of
plasticizers, biocides or other unwanted additives which could leach into
buffers and solvents, leading to false positive or false negative results in
bioassays. The material also complies with the FDA requirements for olefin
polymers.
Eppendorf's
clean-room manufacturing processes are fully automated and subject to
continuous quality monitoring. In addition, fully-automated production and
special optimized moulds that work without slip agents - such as Oleamide or
DiHEMDA - ensure that epT.I.P.S. pipette tips®, Eppendorf Tubes® and Eppendorf
Plates® satisfy the requirements of any application. Batch-specific purity
certificates can be downloaded from the Eppendorf website.
Eppendorf
LoBind
® Tubes and Plates and ep T.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips
have all been developed to minimise sample loss due to adsorption to the
plastic surface, without the use of any coatings that could interfere with
samples.
Demanding
applications, such as forensic DNA testing or next generation sequencing sample
preparation, require careful selection of consumables which will not adversely
affect the quality of analytical results. Eppendorf is committed to developing
products which eliminate contamination, deliver reliable assay results, and
maximise sample recovery. The company's tips, tubes and plates therefore
provide a cost-effective way of ensuring the highest possible reproducibility,
accuracy and precision.
