Preventing PCR contamination
Zero aerosol pipette tips have been specifically designed with PCR techniques in mind to prevent aerosol contamination of pipettes
Zap zero aerosol pipette tips have been specifically designed with PCR techniques in mind to prevent aerosol contamination of your pipettes Due to the sensitivity of the PCR process, any such contamination can lead to undesirable non-specific end products being amplified in subsequent reactions
All Zap tips contain a 25um pore polyethylene filter capable of blocking aerosol contamination.
As Zap tips are designed for PCR use every batch is tested for the presence of DNase, RNase, human DNA and endotoxin contaminants.
Individual batch test certificates are available on request.
Zap tips are supplied in racks gamma-irradiated using an ISO validated process.
Zap tips fit most manufacturers' pipettes and each rack is labelled with its functional volume range.
