Tip Purity Matters

Surprisingly minute amounts of foreign substances can have an outsized impact on the quality of your experimental data. From the purity of the source material to the rigor with which the tips are tested/inspected during manufacturing, you should be confident that your pipette tip supplier is invested in assuring (and guaranteeing) that your tips are free of bioactive and chemical contamination.
