Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. LoRetention filter tips are particularly well-suited for applications with samples that contain detergents. Detergents or detergent containing liquids lower the liquid’s surface tension. This leads to a phenomenon called “wetting”: Residual liquid sticks to the tip wall and cannot be recovered. The invisible film left behind in standard tips shows a significantly high amount of valuable sample material, which becomes discarded together with the tip._x000D_ Particularly when it comes to sensitive PCR and real-time PCR applications, low retention surfaces can increase the reproducibility and significantly reduce the loss of expensive reagents._x000D_ The low retention property of epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. LoRetention filter tips is generated by an ultrahydrophobic, extremely homogeneous surface. It is achieved through an innovative treatment at the molecular level – the “Pearl Effect” Technology. All pipette tips are uncoated, free of additives and do not leach into the sample. Liquids containing detergents simply roll off, so that practically no liquid remains in the tip. These outstanding material properties guarantee maximum sample recovery for cost saving and improved reproducibility._x000D_ Application_x000D_ • Cell culture (media)_x000D_ • Genomics: PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR and all other types of PCR_x000D_ • Enzymatic reactions (restriction decomposition, ligation)_x000D_ • Isolation and purification of nucleic acid_x000D_ • Gel electrophoresis (e.g., prefabricated DNA ladders) typical detergents: SDS, Triton™, X-100, Brij® 35, Tween® 20, CHAPS_x000D_ • Proteomics (all types of protein examinations)_x000D_ • Protein isolation and purification_x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ • Ultrahomogenous surface for maximum reproducibility_x000D_ • Ultrahydrophobic surface for minimal sample loss_x000D_ • Significantly reduced foam formation during pipetting_x000D_ • Extreme resistance to chemicals_x000D_ • Available in PCR clean and Eppendorf Quality_x000D_ • Also available as ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. in PCR clean/Sterile (sterile and pyrogen-free)_x000D_ • No coating_x000D_ • Lot-specific certificates are available at: www.eppendorf.com/certificates._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Brij is a registered trademark of Croda International PLC_x000D_ Eppendorf Quality is a trademark of Eppendorf AG_x000D_ Eppendorf is a registered trademark of Eppendorf AG_x000D_ TWEEN is a registered trademark of Croda International PLC_x000D_ Triton is a trademark of The Dow Chemical Company or an affiliated company of Dow_x000D_ epT.I.P.S. is a registered trademark of Eppendorf AG
