ClipTip Pipette Tips from Thermo Fisher Scientific: a safe innovation for reliable and ergonomic pipetting
In the demanding field of laboratory liquid handling, precision, reproducibility and safety are essential requirements. Thermo Fisher Scientific's ClipTip pipette tips have been designed to meet these requirements with a unique technological solution. Thanks to their active locking attachment mechanism, ClipTip tips literally snap onto compatible pipettes, creating a perfectly sealed connection from the moment of contact. This technology eliminates the need to force the tips into place, significantly reducing muscle fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
One of the major advantages of the ClipTip system is its predictable and consistent performance, regardless of the user. Unlike traditional friction-based systems, which rely heavily on the force applied by the operator, the ClipTip system guarantees uniform sealing across all channels, from one user to the next. This translates into better reproducibility of results, a crucial criterion for research, diagnostic and quality control laboratories.
In addition to their technical performance, ClipTip tips stand out for their extensive compatibility. They are designed to work with F1-ClipTip manual pipettes and E1-ClipTip electronic pipettes, in single-channel, multi-channel (8 to 16 channels) and adjustable tip spacing (Equalizer) configurations. They also cover a wide range of volumes, from 0.5 µL to 1250 µL, with precision graduations tailored to each format.
ClipTip tips are available in a variety of packaging options to suit all needs: standard racks, sterile racks, filtered and sterile racks, and economical refill packs (Reload Towers). All models, except those in 384 and 12.5 µL formats, feature low-retention technology, minimising sample loss even with viscous liquids or those with low surface tension.
Ergonomics have not been overlooked. Thanks to the simple push-to-lock mechanism, the tips attach effortlessly and are easy to eject thanks to the low-force mechanisms of the associated pipettes. ClipTip tips thus contribute to a safer, more efficient and less restrictive working environment for operators.
The ClipTip range is complemented by a wide variety of accessories, including reusable empty racks, pipette holders and solution reservoirs suitable for handling serial volumes. The system also comes with an extended manufacturer's warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Thermo Fisher Scientific's ClipTip pipette tips provide an ergonomic and reliable solution to the daily challenges of modern laboratories. Their ability to guarantee a perfect seal, simplify handling and increase the accuracy of analyses makes them the benchmark choice for any professional concerned with quality and performance.
