What does the pipette tip do?

Date：2023-10-23

The suction head of a pipette is an important component of pipette equipment and plays various important roles in accurate and reliable liquid transportation. The pipette suction head is a disposable extension designed to tightly secure it to the end of the pipette and plays a key role in the following aspects:

1. Sample shell: The main function of the pipette suction head is to seal the liquid sample that the pipette absorbs or distributes. It serves as a barrier to prevent direct contact between the sample and the internal components of the pipette, ensuring its original and uncontaminated state.

2. Volume calibration: The pipette suction head is carefully made according to specific dimensions and predefined volume capacity. When setting a specific volume on the pipette, the corresponding pipette suction head ensures accurate extraction or distribution of the specified liquid volume. The internal geometric shape and size of the suction head greatly affect the accuracy and accuracy of the liquid transfer process.

3. Distribution accuracy: The design of the pipette suction head can accurately control the distribution of liquid. This design allows for consistent and repeatable delivery of the required volume, thereby minimizing errors in experimental results.

4. Reduce cross contamination: Using a disposable pipette suction head for a single sample or solution can effectively prevent cross contamination between different samples or reagents. This becomes particularly important in experiments and measurements that require high purity.

5. Reduce residual risk: The pipette suction head has been carefully designed to reduce residual risk, which may require transferring small traces from the previous sample to subsequent samples. Hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity can help achieve this goal, ensuring that the liquid adheres to the inner surface of the tip or is completely discharged.

6. Sample preservation: Using a pipette suction head helps to avoid sample loss, evaporation, or exposure to surrounding air, thereby maintaining the integrity of the sample. This preservation is particularly important when processing precious or sensitive samples such as DNA, RNA, or proteins.

7. User friendly operation: The pipette suction head is specially designed to easily install and disassemble from the pipette nozzle. They usually use color coding or labeling to quickly identify the required volume capacity, thereby simplifying the operation process.

8. Pollution control: The use of disposable suction heads helps to maintain a clean and hygienic laboratory environment, thereby reducing the risk of contamination caused by previous samples or reagents.

9. Compatibility: The pipette suction head is precision designed and can seamlessly integrate with specific pipette models and types. This compatibility ensures a secure installation of the pipette nozzle, reducing the possibility of leakage or improper connection.

10. Versatility: The pipette suction head comes in various sizes and styles, with a wide range of applications that can adapt to different liquid volumes and types. Their adaptability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from molecular biology and microbiology to clinical diagnosis and analytical chemistry.
