1 Introduction
1 Introduction
epT.I.P.S. pipette tips are disposable plastic tips made of polypropylene (PP). epT.I.P.S. stands
for Eppendorf Totally Integrated Pipetting System which means that form, material properties and
fit are optimized for Eppendorf’s manual and electronic piston-stroke pipettes.
The tips are available in a variety of finishes and purity grades. Every tray for epT.I.P.S. pipette
tips is color-coded and corresponds to the color of the control buttons of Eppendorf pipettes.
Beside epT.I.P.S. pipette tips we offer ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. pipette tips to minimize the risk of
contamination, epT.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips to dispense liquids containing detergents and
ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. LoRetention pipette tips which combines both.
