Benefit from an additional barrier in your filter pipette tip!
ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. from Eppendorf are filter pipette tips with contamination protection through a two-phase filter. The two filter layers made of flexible, hydrophobic material fit perfectly into the tip cone and retain almost 100 % of all aerosols and biomolecules. This filter effect is achieved by different, precisely defined pore sizes. The layer facing the sample provides protection against drops, splashes and aerosols. The layer facing the tip cone of the pipette tip serves as a second barrier against contamination and reliably binds biomolecules. A defined air flow rate ensures complete sample recovery and the usual fast pipetting.
Scientifically proven - no filter tip protects better than ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.!
In a blind study at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine (ITEM) in Hanover, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. offered significantly better protection against aerosols than other commercially available filter pipette tips.
In another study, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax filter pipette tips were tested for their filter performance according to the EN 29463 standard - standard for testing the filter performance of filters. They achieved a minimum particle separation efficiency of 99.5 % with test aerosol particle sizes of 0.05 to 0.5 µm, making them ideal for applications in cleanrooms and the pharmaceutical industry.
ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. in PCR clean / Sterile grade are sterilised with electron beams, certified pyrogen-free and PCR clean (free of human DNA, DNases, RNases and PCR inhibitors). ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. Forensic DNA Grade are free of detectable human DNA, DNases, RNases and PCR inhibitors.
