Abstract

In case of accidental over-pipetting, self-sealing filter tips provide additional protection against contamination by forming a sealed barrier upon contact with the sample liquid, preventing it from passing through the filter. The ability to recover the sample as much as possible thereafter is questionable. An investigation was carried out to determine the sample recovery rate of self-sealing filter tips following over-pipetting of water. Results show that nearly complete sample recovery is achievable using ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. SealMax with regard to water. It has the highest recovery rate and reproducibility irrespective of the filter tip size when compared with two other manufacturers of self-sealing filter tips. Similar recovery rates may be expected when working with other aqueous solutions having physical properties like water. Read more

BrandTech Dispensette 3 Bottletop Dispenser Can Save Biology Labs Hundreds in Grants

Why BrandTech Dispensette 3 bottletop dispensers can save you hundreds in grant money on reagents and the purchase of unnecessary pipette repeaters.

 

Dispensette III Digital Bottletop DispensersBrandTech Dispensette 3 bottletop dispenser can be your lab’s solution. Are you constantly dispensing the same amount of solution 2-3 times a day, five days a week with a repeater? What if you had the option of using an alternative product that guarantees the same precise results of a repeater minus the stress of your poor thumb and sanity?

Bottle top dispensers can be used in any laboratory where measured amounts of liquids are needed, including biology, chemistry, food & beverage, mining, petrochemical, and wasterwater labs. According to Jakub Latusek, BrandTech®’s Distributor Relations Manager, “Choosing a bottle top dispenser versus a repeater comes down to preference and convenience of each particular application. When it comes down to it, if you are dispensing the same reagent regularly, it’s generally easier to attach a dispenser to a stock reagent bottle instead of pouring into smaller bottles and risking a hazardous spill.” If you know the volume of liquid you’re dispensing, save yourself the tedious repetition and stress to your thumb, use a Dispensette® bottle top dispenser.
