Transfer 50 µL Volumes in a Single Step With 384-Multichannel Heads and BiomekŪ P30XL Tips |
|
Bob Lund, Beckman Coulter, Inc.
The September 2005 issue of T3 Update On-Line featured the launch of Biomek P30XL (extended length) Tips for use on Biomek NX and FX, and Multimek™ AP Systems configured with 384-multichannel heads. The new certified tips offer an extended, narrow length of 43 mm, which allows pipetting from the bottom of deep labware to retrieve valuable samples. In addition to the longer length, however, the tip provides a larger transfer volume capability of 50 µL. This allows for an additional 20 µL of sample to be transferred when compared to the standard P30 tip. A 67% increase in transfer volume results in higher throughput and faster assay development.
The P30XL non-conductive, disposable tips are automation-friendly and can be transported in their ANSI/SBS footprint racks. The tips are offered in nonsterile and presterile configurations. They are certified to be free of RNase, DNase, DNA (human and mouse)/PCR* inhibition, pyrogen/endotoxin, and trace metals.
