The Laboratory Pipette Tips category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to measure, dispense, aspirate, pump and route liquids accurately between vessels, instruments and process steps. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Volume error, unsuitable wetted materials, trapped air and poor connections can affect concentration, recovery and repeatability. The practical choice therefore depends on connection size, manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
The complete fluid path should match the required volume or flow range, liquid properties, tubing and connection sizes, control method and cleaning approach. This coordinated approach is particularly useful in analytical, life-science, chemistry, process-development and quality-control laboratories, where repeatability and clear operating procedures matter. As part of the Laboratory Liquid Handling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Pipette Tips Range
Our collection covers when to use filtered pipette tips, applications for "extended" pipette tips, pipette tips calibration, cleaning and maintenance, and BRAND tip-racks compatible with other pipette brands, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
When to use filtered pipette tips
Filtered tips contain a specialised barrier that prevents liquid and aerosols from entering the pipette shaft, which is critical for preventing cross-contamination in DNA/RNA amplification and forensic work. Selection should take account of connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Applications for "Extended" pipette tips
Extended tips, such as the Finntips 100 Extended, allow the user to reach the bottom of narrow tubes and deep vessels without the pipette shaft touching the container walls, reducing contamination risks. The most suitable format depends on manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Laboratory Pipette Tips calibration, cleaning and maintenance
These designations ensure that the tips are certified free of DNA, RNase, ATP, and pyrogens, which is essential for high-sensitivity molecular biology and clinical diagnostic procedures. When comparing options, consider volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
BRAND Tip-Racks compatible with other pipette brands
Most BRAND tips are manufactured to universal standards, making them compatible with common pipettes from manufacturers like GILSON, Eppendorf, and Thermo Scientific. When comparing options, consider accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use filtered pipette tips?
Filtered tips contain a specialised barrier that prevents liquid and aerosols from entering the pipette shaft, which is critical for preventing cross-contamination in DNA/RNA amplification and forensic work. For pipette tips, also check wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control so the product fits the complete procedure.
What are "Extended" pipette tips used for?
Extended tips, such as the Finntips 100 Extended, allow the user to reach the bottom of narrow tubes and deep vessels without the pipette shaft touching the container walls, reducing contamination risks. Before ordering, confirm wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What does "Biopur" or "High Purity" mean for pipette tips?
These designations ensure that the tips are certified free of DNA, RNase, ATP, and pyrogens, which is essential for high-sensitivity molecular biology and clinical diagnostic procedures. Laboratories should compare wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Are BRAND Tip-Racks compatible with other pipette brands?
Most BRAND tips are manufactured to universal standards, making them compatible with common pipettes from manufacturers like GILSON, Eppendorf, and Thermo Scientific. The final choice should reflect wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control, as these points influence day-to-day compatibility and repeatability.
How do I choose the right pipette tips for my laboratory?
Review wetted materials, connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. Laboratories should compare wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control and document the selected setup for consistent use.
