What are Rainin tips compatible with? ›

Rainin universal-fit tips provide outstanding performance for non-LTS Rainin pipettes and most other pipette brands, including Gilson, Eppendorf, Sartorious (BioHit), Thermo (Finn) and VWR.

In this short video, a propylene glycol-based food colorant demonstrates how Rainin LR low retention tips eliminate sheeting activity. By dramatically reducing the retained sample after dispensing, Rainin LR Tips eliminate a major source of pipetting inaccuracy.

Low retention tips, often referred to as low binding tips, are modified pipette tips that have been created with the goal of preventing fluid substances like enzymes, DNA, cells, and proteins from adhering to their surface.

Pipette tips are made of polypropylene and are autoclavable and chemically stable. Rainin pipette tips are continuously quality-control tested to meet rigorous cleanliness and physical specifications.

You can differentiate an XLS+ pipette from the earlier XLS version in the following ways: an original XLS+ pipette will have a serial number beginning with C14 (or higher) but not A14 or B14. Also the RAININ logo on the silver badge is colored blue.

LTS stands for Lite Touch Tip Ejection Pipetting System. It is the most comfortable pipette that prevents fatigue. It ensures the most precise and accurate readings with no room for error.

After plugging in these numbers, you can calculate the average retention rate. It's essential to understand that a higher retention rate usually indicates a more stable and happy workforce with a higher number of customers feeling satisfied, while a lower rate may suggest issues with turnover and employee satisfaction.

A low retention rate indicates that an organization's people management team is failing in its duty to keep employees engaged and contented. It may also point to other underlying factors within an organization that is worth assessing by human resources personnel.

Pipette Tips are disposable, autoclavable attachments for the uptake and dispensing of liquids using a pipette. Micropipettes are used in a number of laboratories. A research/diagnostic lab can use pipette tips to dispense liquids into a well plate for PCR assays.

A wide bore (wide-orifice) pipette tip makes it easier for liquids to flow in and out of the tip. A wider opening helps minimize shear force, protecting delicate samples like DNA/RNA samples and cells and easing work with high-viscosity liquids like pure glycerol.

Should you pre wet pipette tips? ›

To prevent dripping tips, you should pre-wet your pipette tip to humidify the dead air space. This can be achieved by aspirating and dispensing the full volume of your tip three times using the liquid you will be pipetting. Additionally, volatile solutions should be pipetted quickly and in “Reverse pipet” mode.

Low retention tips, also known as low binding tips, are specially designed pipette tips that reduce the adhesion of various materials like DNA, enzymes, proteins, and cells to the tip surface.

High-Quality Universal Tip Technology

Rainin offers many universal tips in various sizes and formats. They are manufactured with a specific polypropylene to assure suppleness, purity, batch-to-batch consistency, and excellent hydrophobicity.

This is not only positively impactful to the environment, but it saves laboratories money because most pipette tips can be washed and reused up to 40 times.

Volumetric pipettes

These pipettes have a large bulb with a long narrow portion above with a single graduation mark as it is calibrated for a single volume (like a volumetric flask). Typical volumes are 20, 50, and 100 mL.
