LOW BINDING POLYMER TECHNOLOGY

IMPROVE ACCURACY AND PRECISION WITH BONDED POLYMER TECHNOLOGY

A calibrated pipettor may be 99% accurate and precise, but tips can compromise such accuracy and precision by binding sample. Low binding tips improve accuracy and precision by utilizing Bonded Polymer Technology to bond a proprietary polymer to the tip resin. This advanced process creates a hydrophobic surface that reduces the surface tension of the interior wall of the pipette tip, resulting in minimal sample binding. No additives such as silicone are used; consequently no leaching and subsequent sample degradation occur. The chemically resistant polymer cannot be removed with common laboratory solvents such as chloroform or chloroethene. All products are certified RNase/DNase-free, non-pyrogenic, and Human DNA/PCR Inhibitor-Free.

Conventional low retention tips bind the sample	Low-binding tips dispense the entire sample

APPLICATIONS Pipetting long, sticky molecules such as DNA, proteins, or peptides, which tend to bind to the walls of pipette tips. Quantitative assays in which sample binding can significantly alter results. Critical, small volume protocols that require a high degree of accuracy. At these ultramicro volumes, minute amounts of bound sample represent a large percentage of the total sample volume. Replace siliconized tips. Silicone will leach into samples and has the potential to degrade DNA. Siliconized tips also are less effective after autoclaving. Pipetting expensive reagents. Minimize the amount of liquid discarded with your pipette tip.
	DNA Binding: The relative binding of DNA by several manufacturers’ pipette tips (three conventional tips and three low retention tips) was measured by slowly pipetting 100µl of ABI Big Dye® Terminator Ready Reaction Mix (Applied Biosystems). Tips were subsequently washed in 625µl of ddH2O in a spectrophotometer sample tube and analyzed with a DU-70 spectrophotometer (Beckman-Coulter) at 260nm wavelength. Results: Bonded Polymer tips experience as much as a tenfold decrease in DNA binding compared to conventional tips and a fourfold decrease in bound DNA compared to the best low retention tips. Performance is not compromised after autoclaving (data not shown).
Protein Binding: The relative binding of protein by several manufacturers’ pipette tips (three conventional tips and three low retention tips) was measured by pipetting 100µl of 10mg/µl bovine serum albumin (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA). Tips were subsequently washed in 625µl of ddH20 in a spectrophotometer sample tube and analyzed with a DU-70 spectrophotometer (Beckman-Coulter) at 280nm wavelength. Results: Bonded Polymer tips exhibit as much as a three-fold decrease in protein binding compared to conventional and low retention tips and performance is not compromised after autoclaving.
