When working with fragile cell samples or viscous liquids in the laboratory, choosing the right pipette tip is essential to prevent damage to the samples. With Labcon ZAP wide bore pipette tips with filter, you get an ideal solution. The wide opening makes it easier to pipette without harming cells, embryonic cells, or primary cultures, as the samples are not forced through narrow tips, which can occur with standard tips.
Eclipse wide bore pipette tips with filter
The Eclipse series also offers wide bore tips in a sterile version without filter, available in both 200 µl and 1000 µl.
ZAP Slik: ultra-smooth surface with low retention for optimal sample recovery.
ZAP Aerosol: standard filter tip for safe aerosol handling.
All Eclipse tips are manufactured from 100% virgin medical-grade polypropylene, with no recycled plastic used. The raw resin is carefully tested before production to ensure no extractable substances are present. Each batch undergoes laboratory testing and is certified free of RNase, DNase, ATP, endotoxins (pyrogens), and metal contamination. Certificates of analysis are available for every lot.
Labcon Eclipse racks
The tips are supplied in Labcon’s distinctive Teal racks, made of durable polypropylene. These racks can be autoclaved multiple times and feature sturdy hinges as well as a snap-lock specifically designed not to snag on gloves.
