Liquid Handling

Including serological pipettes, pipette tips and filter tips.

Serological Pipettes

• Sterile
• High optical clarity
• Maximum accuracy
• Drop-free pipetting
• Clear, easily legible graduation
• A coloured vertical Schellbach stripe makes it considerably easier to read off the volume
• Pipetting units available on request
• Increased volume from negative graduations
• Pipette colour code according to international standards
• Maximum clarity from high-grade polystyrene
• Lot number and best-before date on each bag
• All pipettes are supplied with a synthetic fibrous filter material for protection against the suction of liquid into the pipetting device (exception: the aspiration pipette without fibrous filter material)
• Short-format pipettes (shorties) permit back-saving, pleasant working

Pipette Tips

Pipette tips are a key component in day-to-day life science research and need to be of a high quality to ensure confidence and consistency in pipetting results. Our tips are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene to give the optimum in performance and fit. Additionally, polypropylene has a high breaking strength, is dimensionally stable, heat-resistant up to approx. +140°C, i.e. is autoclavable, and cold-resistant down to -190°C. All coloured Greiner Bio-One pipette tips are manufactured exclusively with heavy metal free dyes. Pipette tips from Greiner Bio-One are therefore free of heavy metals.

Versions available are:

• Micro tips (0.5 – 20 μl)
• 200 μl tips (10 – 300 μl)
• 1000 μl tips (100 – 1000 μl)
• Macro tip (5 ml)
• Gel-load tips
• Conductive tips
• Filter tips

Filter Tips

Pipette tips with filter inserts prevent contamination with liquids and aerosols during the pipetting process. In combination with conventional pipettors, Greiner Bio-One filter tips prevent the aspiration of particles into the interior of the pipettor. This minimises the danger of unwanted cross-contamination. The special ultra-micro filter made of hydrophobic polyethylene has a pore size of approx. 10 microns and acts as a reliable barrier against the transfer of aerosols into the shaft of the pipettor.

Greiner Bio-One filter tips:

• Are recommended for work with DNA and RNA, and when handling radioactive material
• Are available in the volume ranges 0.5 μl to 1000 μl
• Can be used with all standard pipettors
• Are free of detectable DNase / RNase and are sterilised by irradiation
• Are available in boxes of 96 pieces or 60 pieces in the case of 1000 μl tips
• Produced and certified according to DIN ISO 8655
