LTS Compatible Filter Tips

What Are LTS-Compatible Filter Tips?

LTS-compatible filter tips combine two design features: the cylindrical collar geometry of Rainin's LiteTouch System (LTS), which mates with Rainin LTS pipette shafts for low-insertion-force ergonomic operation, and an integrated hydrophobic aerosol-barrier filter element that prevents aerosol droplets and liquid from reaching the pipette barrel. They are the required tip format for Rainin LTS labs running PCR, qPCR, RT-PCR, RNA extraction, nucleic acid dispensing, or any contamination-sensitive workflow where both LTS ergonomics and aerosol protection are needed simultaneously. LTS filter tips are the single correct format for Rainin LTS users doing PCR, RNA, or biohazardous work — no substitution with universal filtered tips is possible.

What you will find:

• Diamond PosiStop Racked Tips – Precision-engineered for a perfect seal and easy, contamination-free loading.

• Bulk Packed Pipette Tips – High-volume, economical supply for routine laboratory liquid handling.

• Reload Stacks – Eco-friendly, space-saving inserts designed for rapid rack replenishment.

• GreenRack Systems – Sustainable, low-waste packaging for high-throughput diagnostic workflows.

• Sterile Rainin LTS Tips – RNase, DNase, and pyrogen-free options for sensitive molecular research.

• Empty Tip Racks – Durable, reusable frames designed for seamless use with reload components.

How to Choose LTS-Compatible Filter Tips

Confirm LTS Instrument
Only pipettes displaying 'LTS' in the model designation — Pipet-Lite XLS+ LTS, Pipet-Lite M LTS, L8 LTS, L12 LTS — accept LTS tips. Standard Rainin models (older PIPET-LITE without 'LTS') and all non-Rainin pipettes require universal-fit tips, not LTS-specific tips.

Low-Retention Filter Tips for Small Volumes
Low-retention LTS filter tips combine the LTS mount, aerosol barrier, and hydrophobic inner wall. Use them when dispensing ≤20 µL of RNA, enzyme, or protein solutions where maximum volume recovery plus contamination protection are simultaneously required — the most stringent tip specification for Rainin LTS users.

Volume Range
Common LTS filter tip volumes: 20 µL, 200 µL, 300 µL, 1,000 µL, and 1,200 µL. Confirm the exact volume range available in LTS-compatible filter format from your supplier, as not all volumes are available in every format from every manufacturer.

OEM vs Third-Party
Rainin OEM filter tips for LTS are specified to the tightest cylindrical geometry tolerance. LTS filter tips are available in sterile racked and refill stacked-box formats with RNase/DNase/non-pyrogenic certification. For routine research use, third-party LTS filter tips offer equivalent performance at 20–40% lower cost.

Packaging
LTS filter tips are available in hinged racks (10 racks × 96 = 960 tips/box) and refill stacked-box inserts. Sterile options are standard across the range.

Specifications Context

LTS-compatible filter tips are manufactured from virgin polypropylene (PP) with hydrophobic PE filter frits; low-retention variants use hydrophobic resin for reduced surface adhesion. LTS filter tips: certified RNase-free, DNase-free, non-pyrogenic, CE and FDA-listed, in sterile refill stacked-box format. Multiple third-party manufacturers supply LTS-compatible filter tips at 20–40% below Rainin OEM pricing, with equivalent documented performance for research workflows.
