Low Retention Pipette Tips
For Viscous and Low Surface Tension Liquids
A low retention pipette tip works well with viscous and low-surface-tension liquids. Viscous (e.g., glycerol) and low-surface-tension liquids (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) adhere to the inside of standard pipette tips, increasing experimental uncertainty. The unique Rainin molding process creates tips with a highly repellent coating – a “superhydrophobic” surface over the entire tip. This prevents any adhesion between samples and the polypropylene tip surface, facilitating enhanced fluid movement.

Advantages of Low Retention Pipette Tips
Advanced Repellent Surface
The super-repellent surface of Rainin LR tips "normalizes" the flow characteristics of fluids with diverse compositions and physical characteristics (viscosities, surface tension, density, hydrophobicity, etc.). The result: enhanced pipetting accuracy across a broader range of sample types. Rainin LR tips provide greater peace of mind and better data fidelity when pipetting.
Ideal for Difficult Liquids
We employ a unique molding process to produce tips with a uniform field of highly-repellent fluoropolymer molecules that form an impenetrable “superhydrophobic” surface. The result: liquids and molecules are suspended above the polypropylene tip surface, allowing difficult liquids to glide effortlessly in and out of the tip.
