ConductScience Filtered Pipette Tips 1000uL are universal-fit sterile pipette tips manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene with an integrated hydrophobic aerosol barrier filter. The filter element prevents aerosol contamination and cross-contamination between samples while maintaining accurate liquid handling performance. These tips are certified DNase/RNase free, ensuring nucleic acid integrity in molecular biology applications.
The hydrophobic barrier filter utilizes low-protein-binding materials to minimize sample loss while providing effective protection against aerosol transmission. The universal fit design ensures compatibility with most standard pipettes from major manufacturers, supporting consistent liquid handling protocols across diverse research environments.
How It Works
The filtered pipette tip operates through a dual-barrier protection system combining physical filtration with hydrophobic membrane technology. The hydrophobic filter element, positioned between the pipette shaft and sample chamber, creates an aerosol barrier that prevents liquid droplets and airborne particles from entering the pipette mechanism while allowing air displacement for normal pipetting function.
The medical-grade polypropylene construction provides chemical compatibility with most laboratory solvents and reagents while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature variations. The hydrophobic nature of the filter membrane repels aqueous solutions, ensuring that sample liquid remains in the tip while blocking aerosol transmission through surface tension effects.
DNase and RNase elimination is achieved through manufacturing processes that remove enzymatic contamination at the molecular level, preventing nucleic acid degradation during sample handling. The sterile packaging maintains contamination-free conditions until point of use.

Comparison Guide
| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter Integration | Integrated hydrophobic aerosol barrier filter | Many standard tips lack filtration or use basic foam barriers | Provides superior aerosol containment while maintaining pipetting accuracy |
| Universal Compatibility | Universal fit design for most standard pipettes | Brand-specific tips often require exact pipette model matching | Reduces inventory complexity and ensures availability across different pipette brands |
| Nuclease Contamination | DNase/RNase free certified with testing verification | Basic tips may not include nuclease testing certification | Ensures nucleic acid integrity in molecular biology applications |
| Volume Capacity | 1000uL capacity with filtered protection | Filtered tips often limited to smaller volumes | Enables medium-volume applications while maintaining contamination protection |
| Material Quality | Medical-grade polypropylene construction | Standard laboratory-grade plastics vary in purity | Provides consistent chemical compatibility and reduced leachables |
These filtered pipette tips combine aerosol barrier protection with universal compatibility and nuclease-free certification. The medical-grade construction and 1000uL capacity support diverse laboratory applications requiring contamination control.
Practical Tips
Pre-wet the filter with sample solution when working with viscous or protein-containing samples.
Why: Prevents filter binding effects that could reduce volume accuracy.
Inspect filter integrity visually before use, looking for tears or deformation.
Why: Damaged filters compromise contamination protection and may affect pipetting performance.
Use slower aspiration and dispensing speeds with filtered tips compared to standard tips.
Why: Allows proper air displacement through the filter while maintaining accuracy.
Verify volume delivery accuracy periodically using gravimetric testing methods.
Why: Filter resistance can affect pipetting accuracy, especially at maximum volume settings.
Dispose of used filtered tips in appropriate biohazard waste containers.
Why: Filter material may retain potentially hazardous aerosols requiring proper disposal.
Store unopened packages in original sterile packaging away from moisture.
Why: Maintains sterility and prevents filter degradation from humidity exposure.
If experiencing reduced aspiration, check for filter blockage or improper tip seating.
Why: Blocked filters prevent normal air displacement and compromise pipetting function.
