AEROSOL PROTECTION
Filter Tips

Filter tips protect precious samples and sensitive robotic parts from aerosol contamination. Prime filter tips are ideal for use in genomics workflows, NGS library prep, infectious sample assays, and when working with volatile or corrosive fluids.

icon-blue-23
EXTRA MEASURES
Sterile Tips

Sterile tips offer extra confidence when safeguarding against harmful pathogens. Tips are irradiated with 12–35 kGy to guarantee a sterility assurance level of 10⁶ and audited according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137 by an independent laboratory.

Prime does whatever I need it to

“As an academic, we balance between cost and throughput. This is where Prime excels. Prime enabled our monthly output to increase from 4-6x 96-well plates up to 20x 384-well plates. The amount of sequencing data that we generated from this increase was insane! We are running five days a week and Prime's reliability is rock solid. No one needs complex programming expertise, and intuitive error recovery means that if something goes astray, we can get back on track quickly.”

FAQs

Where are HighRes pipette tips manufactured? add remove

Our tips are manufactured in and shipped from Northern California. A certificate of origin is available for download from the resources page.

Do the tips have an expiration date? add remove

Yes, we recommend that sterile tips are used within 3 years and non-sterile tips are used within 4 years from the date of manufacture. 

What is the best tip for pipetting into 1536 well plates? add remove

30 µL tips offer the most reliable access to the wells in these plates and are the best choice for high-density pipetting applications.

May I buy tips in pre-formatted configurations? add remove

We sell quarter-density boxed tips as pre-configured. Additionally, any of our tip boxes may be used to create custom tip configurations.

Can I reuse pipette tips? add remove

Tips may be reused, but much depends upon your specific application needs and whether you are washing tips between uses. In general, we do not recommend reusing tips more than 10 times.
