Micronic BV, specialists in innovative products for sample handling and traceable sample storage, has produced test data that shows its Expell tips deliver volumes within 0.1% of the set volume, compared to 0.5 -0.7% for standard pipettor tips.

Manufactured from ultra-pure polypropylene with an extremely smooth interior - Expell tips ideal wetting properties virtually eliminate sample retention and reduce the binding of DNA, RNA and proteins to a minimum. The significant reduction in sample retention both increases the accuracy of pipetting procedures and saves precious samples.
