Liquid Handling

Filtered Pipette Tips

<h2 dir="ltr"> What Are Filtered Pipette Tips?</h2>
 Filtered pipette tips contain a hydrophobic aerosol-barrier plug &mdash; polyethylene (PE) frit or cellulose &mdash; embedded inside the tip body, positioned to intercept aerosol and liquid that would otherwise travel up through the tip collar into the pipette barrel during dispensing or when handling volatile or splashing samples. The filter protects the pipette barrel from internal contamination (which requires costly professional decontamination) and protects samples from cross-contamination by previously deposited nucleic acids, proteins, or biohazardous material in the barrel. Filtered tips are the standard consumables for PCR and qPCR setup, RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, working with radioactive or biohazardous agents, and any workflow where a single contaminated barrel could compromise a run or an experiment. Non-filtered tips remain appropriate for routine buffer, media, and reagent dispensing where cross-contamination through the barrel is not a concern. Use filtered tips for all nucleic acid work, PCR, and biohazardous samples; use standard tips for routine buffer and reagent dispensing.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose Filtered Pipette Tips</h2>
 Filter Material: Polyethylene Frit vs Cellulose Hydrophobic PE frits are the most common and most studied aerosol-barrier material; they block liquid ingress reliably without absorbing sample material or releasing fibres. Cellulose filters are used in some barrier tips (including the original Thermo Barrier tips); they are effective aerosol barriers but can absorb a small volume of aqueous sample, relevant at &le;10 &micro;L, where the absorbed volume is proportionally significant.
Universal Fit vs LTS-Compatible Filtered Tips Universal filtered tips use standard collar geometry (3.8 mm for &le;10 &micro;L, 6.1 mm for &le;200 &micro;L) and fit Eppendorf, Rainin Classic (non-LTS), and Thermo pipettes. LTS-compatible filtered tips use Rainin's cylindrical LTS mounting geometry and are required for Rainin LTS pipettes.&nbsp;
Low-Retention Filtered Tips Low-retention filtered tips combine an aerosol barrier with a hydrophobic inner tip wall, reducing liquid adhesion during dispensing. They are recommended for small-volume (&le;10 &micro;L) nucleic acid work, RNA, protein, and enzyme dispensing, where both contamination protection and volume accuracy are critical.
Volume Range Filtered tips are available across 10 &micro;L (P2&ndash;P10), 20 &micro;L (P20), 100 &micro;L (P100), 200 &micro;L (P200), 300 &micro;L, 1,000 &micro;L (P1000), and 1,250 &micro;L extended formats. Extended-length filtered tips reach deep into 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes for nucleic acid elution and sample transfer steps.
Packaging Filtered tips are typically sterile-racked (96/rack, 10 racks/box); reload/refill formats are available for high-volume filter tip users.

<h2 dir="ltr"> What Are Universal Fit Filter Tips?</h2>
 Universal fit filter tips combine two well-established features: the standardised collar geometry of universal-fit tips (3.8 mm collar for &le;10 &micro;L, 6.1 mm for &le;200 &micro;L, ~7.5 mm for &le;1,000 &micro;L) and an integrated hydrophobic PE aerosol-barrier frit inside the tip shaft. The collar geometry enables cross-brand compatibility; the PE frit physically blocks aerosol droplets and liquid from entering the pipette barrel when over-pipetting, vigorous mixing, or volatile samples are involved. They deliver contamination protection equivalent to brand-specific filter tips at a cost appropriate for labs standardising on universal consumables. Universal fit filter tips are the default contamination-control tip for any lab with a mixed Eppendorf/Gilson/Rainin fleet running PCR, RNA, or biohazardous protocols.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose Universal Fit Filter Tips</h2>
 Filter Material: PE Frit vs Self-Sealing Barrier Standard PE frit filters (Globe Scientific, Sorenson Bioscience, Nest Scientific) are hydrophobic sintered polyethylene that blocks aerosol and liquid without absorbing sample material &mdash; the most broadly specified filter type. Self-sealing barrier tips (e.g., Thermo Scientific ART) use a swelling polymer that expands on contact with liquid to create a complete seal; they provide reliable protection but at a higher cost and from fewer suppliers. Low-Retention Universal Filter Tips Low-retention universal filter tips add a hydrophobic inner tip wall to the PE frit. Use them at &le;10 &micro;L for RNA, enzyme aliquoting, and small-volume nucleic acid work where both contamination protection and maximum volume delivery accuracy are required. Volume Range 10 &micro;L: P2&ndash;P10 range; sequencing gel loading, micro-volume PCR setup. 20 &micro;L: P20 range. 100 &micro;L: P100. 200 &micro;L: P200 &mdash; the highest-volume filter tip in most labs. 300 &micro;L: for some extended P300 pipettes. 1,000 &micro;L: P1000. 1,250 &micro;L: extended high-volume format. Extended-Length Filter Tips Extended-length universal filter tips (200 &micro;L and 1,000 &micro;L) are 20&ndash;40 mm longer than standard, enabling aerosol-protected access to the bottom of 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes during nucleic acid elution and sample transfer steps. Packaging Universal filter tips are typically sterile-racked (96/rack &times; 10 racks/box). Sorenson EcoRack reload inserts are available for high-volume filter tip users seeking plastic waste reduction. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 Universal fit filter tips are certified DNase-free, RNase-free, human DNA-free, ATP-free, pyrogen-free, and PCR inhibitor-free per independent lot. Virgin polypropylene construction; PE frits are hydrophobic, sintered polyethylene confirmed PCR inhibitor-free. Sterile racked tips are EO-sterilised or gamma-irradiated to SAL 10⁻&sup3;&ndash;10⁻⁶. Thermo Scientific ART universal filter tips use a proprietary self-sealing barrier; Globe Scientific and Sorenson Bioscience use PE frits. Sorenson Bioscience universal filter tips in standard rack and EcoRack reload formats are stocked by MBP Inc.&nbsp;
