Introduction

Preserving sample integrity is paramount to achieving accurate results in bio-research. Regardless of the source of potential contamination, choosing the right pipette tips is essential in guaranteeing protection against carryover contamination. Pipette tips with aerosol-blocking filters are specifically designed to prevent carryover contamination from liquids and aerosols that come in contact with the pipette. For example, if liquid samples are accidentally overdrawn, contamination will spread to subsequent reactions through direct contact with the pipette barrel. Likewise, samples can be corrupted through the transmission of aerosols generated by the action of pipetting. The resulting contamination can lead to inaccurate results. This illustrates the importance of an effective aerosol barrier.

Thermo Scientific™ ART™ Barrier Tips

Made from high-purity polypropylene, ART™ Barrier Tips offer complete protection for the pipette, the sample, and ultimately for experimental results by not allowing cross-contamination, thanks to the proprietary self-sealing barrier design. ART self-sealing barrier tips are the only tips that seal completely to let the user know when a sample has touched the filter. When the barrier seals it automatically warns the user of potential sample contamination. The ART tip portfolio offers tips with exceptional clarity and uncompromised purity. All ART pipette tips are certified to be free of RNase, DNase, DNA, ATP, and endotoxins.

What can ART barrier tips do that traditional filter tips can't?

ART barrier tips differ from traditional filter tips. ART self-sealing barrier tips seal completely to prevent liquid samples and aerosols from coming in contact with the pipette nose cone. When the barrier seals it protects the pipette and subsequent samples from cross contamination.

 

ART self-sealing barrier tip is designed to block the passage of liquids and aerosols.

This eliminates the possibility of contaminating the pipette through over pipetting or aerosol formation.

Choose the right ART tip for your pipette and application

ART barrier pipette tips are ideal for use with your most valuable samples and sensitive assays to prevent contamination, while protecting your pipettes, too.

Recommended use:

PCR, DNA and RNA purification, pipetting radioactive agents, cell culture, biobanking
