Product Description
Maximize sample recovery and improve accuracy with our low retention pipette tips, compatible with most standard pipettes and engineered for demanding applications.
Designed to prevent liquids from sticking to the inner wall of the tip. Every microliter is delivered — even when working with viscous reagents, proteins, or complex reaction mixes.
Improve accuracy and repeatability across PCR, RT-PCR, DNA sequencing, and other contamination-sensitive workflows. Designed to be compatible with most standard pipettes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Low retention surface treatment — prevents liquids from adhering to tip walls for maximum sample recovery
- Ideal for viscous samples — proteins, glycerol-based reagents, enzymes, and complex reaction mixes
- Precision-molded for a consistent, secure seal with most standard pipettes
- DNase/RNase, DNA, Pyrogen, and ATP-free — certified safe for sensitive molecular applications
- Pre-sterilized and sealed to maintain sterility until point of use
- Available in racked and refill formats — including patented refillable blister-box system
- Reduces plastic waste — refill system lets you reload only what you need
⚠️ Not autoclavable — heat sterilization will compromise the low retention surface treatment

Storage & Handling
- Store in original sealed packaging in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight
- Maintain storage temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F – 86°F)
- Keep unused tips in a relatively closed space to preserve the sterilization effect
- Do not use tips from damaged or previously opened packaging
- Single-use only — do not reuse tips between samples to prevent cross-contamination
⚠️ Not autoclavable — autoclaving will compromise the low retention surface and affect tip performance. Purchase pre-sterilized tips if sterility is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "low retention" mean?
Low retention tips are treated to minimize liquid adhesion to the inner tip wall. This means more of your sample is delivered to the target — reducing waste, improving accuracy, and making a meaningful difference when working with precious or expensive reagents.
When should I use low retention tips instead of standard tips?
Low retention tips are especially valuable when working with viscous samples like glycerol-based reagents, proteins, enzymes, or any liquid that tends to cling to standard tip walls. They are also recommended when sample volume is critical and every microliter counts.
Are these tips compatible with my pipette brand?
Our low retention tips are designed to fit most standard pipette cone sizes and have been tested with Eppendorf, Gilson, Thermo Fisher, Sartorius, BRAND, and Dlab pipettes. See the full compatibility chart on this page for model-specific details.
Can I autoclave these tips?
No. Autoclaving will compromise the low retention surface treatment and affect tip performance. If you require sterile low retention tips, please purchase our pre-sterilized version.
Are these tips certified contaminant-free?
Yes. Our low retention tips are certified DNase/RNase-free, DNA-free, Pyrogen-free, and ATP-free — suitable for PCR, RT-PCR, sequencing, and other sensitive molecular biology applications.
What is the refill system and how does it work?
Our patented refillable blister-box system lets you reload your existing tip rack with a fresh set of 96 tips in one step — no touching, no contamination risk. Simply insert the refill pack into the rack and dispense. You only refill what you need, reducing plastic waste without sacrificing sterility or convenience.
