Performance of Low Retention GripTips from INTEGRA

Liquids containing detergents or other low surface tension solutions form a thin film on the inner surface of the pipette tips, leading to pipetting inaccuracy, non-repeatability and, even worse, the loss of expensive or very precious reagents and samples. To overcome this issue, INTEGRA has introduced Low Retention GripTips, which prevent low surface tension samples from spreading out across the inner wall of the tips. In this application note, INTEGRA illustrates the advantages of using Low Retention GripTips when pipetting low surface tension liquids.
