Are the epT.I.P.S. Box / epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 and the epT.I.P.S. Racks UV-resistant?

The UV stability of epT.I.P.S. box / epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 (made of polycarbonate) as well as of the epT.I.P.S. racks (made of polypropylene) were tested intensively during development. Boxes and racks were exposed to 254 nm UV light (1 J/cm2) for 16.7 hours. After 10 cycles (167 hours), no signs of adverse effects were detectable. Because the energy of the lamp used is considerably higher than that of a lamp used in a sterile bench, it can be assumed that both boxes can be exposed to UV radiation for at least 300 to 600 hours in a sterile bench without problems. Polypropylene used for epTIPS Racks is three times more resistant against UV radiation than polycarbonate allowing even longer exposure to UV light. If a disinfectant is applied prior to UV irradiation make sure to take off the reagent by wiping off using a cloth soaked in water.

Are Eppendorf products free of RNA?

All products certified with "PCR clean" are tested free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors. The following applies from our point of view: Where no human DNA is detected, there can also be no RNA, which is considerably more unstable.

What is the meaning of the PCR Clean seal?

For molecular-biological requirements Eppendorf offers a new standard for uniform purity specifications. All consumables marked with the "Certified PCR Clean” label are guaranteed free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors.

How do you make your Biopur products free of pyrogens?

All Biopur products are manufactured fully automatically under cleanroom conditions. This eliminates contamination of the disposables through contact with people. An independent laboratory checks that each individual batch is free of pyrogens.Additionally the products are sterilized by radiation or treatment with ethylene oxide.

What is the shelf life of Eppendorf Biopur products?

If the Biopur products are stored according to the information in the instruction manual they have a shelf life of 5 years. The minimum expiry date is printed on the label of the box.

Why are there double labels on the folding boxes, as "PCR clean" + "Sterile" or "PCR clean" + "Protein-free"?

Due to the modularization of purity grades, some products are labeled with more than one purity grade symbol. For example, the epDualfilter T.I.P.S. has the double seal "PCR clean "+ "Sterile" and the UVette the double seal "PCR clean" + "Protein-free" on the packing. The certification remains unaffected by the modularization.

Are batch-specific certificates for the new purity grades available in the internet?

Yes, the batch-specific purity grades can be downloaded at our certificates homepage .

Can products of the previous and new modular purity grades (with new seals) be used simultaneously in one application?

Yes, if no batch attachment is required for the application, products of the old and new modular purity grades can be used, as their specifications are the same.

What are the reasons for using single-use plasticware in the laboratory?

Contamination and cross-over can only be avoided by using single-use plastic items. In addition, there is no annoying and time-consuming cleaning of glassware.

How are Eppendorf pipette tips tinted?

Organic, heavy-metal-free dyes (PP granulate) are used to tint the pipette tips.

Is a reload available for the 5 mL epTIPS Box?

No, the 5 mL epTIPS Box will be filled with epTIPS Standard.

Do Eppendorf pipette tips contain heavy metals?

The potential release of trace metal ions from the epTIPS under extreme conditions was measured by an independent and certified laboratory. The certificate that provides exact concentration per metal is provided as a pdf on our certificates homepage .

Are Eppendorf pipette tips free of silicone / silicone oil?

Neither silicone nor silicone oil is added during the production process of epT.I.P.S. pipette tips.

Up to which temperature can solutions be dispensed with epTIPS?

The epTIPS made of PP are suitable for liquids with a temperature of max. 90°C. Please take into account that the pipetting error rises due to evaporation into and warming of the air cushion.

To destroy prions, an autoclave step at 136 °C and 3 atm must be carried out. Can the epTIPS Box (or epTIPS Rack Biopur) withstand this?

No, the epTIPS Box or the epTIPS Rack Biopur cannot be autoclaved at 136 °C.

Must the lid on epT.I.P.S. Boxes / epT.I.P.S. Boxes 2.0 be opened for autoclaving?

No, the boxes can be autoclaved with the lid closed.

Can the epT.I.P.S. Box / epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 be autoclaved at 133 °C?

Yes, the epT.I.P.S. ® Box 2.0 is compatible with all epT.I.P.S. Reloads and all epT.I.P.S. BioBased Reloads.

What is the difference between epT.I.P.S. Box / epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 and epT.I.P.S. Rack?

The epT.I.P.S. ® Box 2.0 in the new design, equipped with additional benefits, is the successor product of the epT.I.P.S. ® Box used in the market since 2002. Like its predecessor, the epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 can be autoclaved up to 100 times and can be filled with all epT.I.P.S. Reload variants for pipette tips in Eppendorf Quality, PCR clean, Biopur ® and PCR clean/Sterile. Please note: the reload variants for tips in Biopur ® and PCR clean/Sterile can only be used in the epT.I.P.S. ® Box 2.0. They do not fit into the predecessor epT.I.P.S. Box. The epT.I.P.S. ® Racks are disposable and destined only for single use and are available in the purity grades Biopur ® and PCR clean/Sterile. For detailed information visit: www.eppendorf.com/discover/the-magician-eptipsr-boxes-20

How often can the epT.I.P.S. Box / epT.I.P.S. Box 2.0 be autoclaved?

Both boxes can be autoclaved up to 100 times. Stacking of many boxes should be avoided during this process. Please note that if Reloads are inserted, the tray and tips can only be autoclaved once and that filtered tips cannot be autoclaved.

What does the engraved text „Rack body made of 100% recycled material” on the epT.I.P.S. ® Rack mean?

Eppendorf has started to produce the Racks in which the pipette tips (epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips) are available from recyclate: All Racks with the engraving are made from 100 % post-consumer recyclate (PCR), which refers to materials that have been collected, recycled, and repurposed. This process helps to reduce waste and the consumption of virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly production cycle.

Do epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material have different properties than standard Racks?

No. The material change for the disposable Rack does not affect the purity, sterility, autoclavability or stability of the Racks themselves or the within packed epT.I.P.S. ® pipette tips, ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® pipette filter tips, and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. ® SealMax ® pipette filter tips. There is also no change in form, fit or function. As product item numbers remain identical and no changes to the product quality exists, no further actions are required by you, our customer. This is also confirmed by lot-specific and quality certificates.

Can epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a Rack body made of 100% recycled material be recycled?

Yes. Racks made of 100% recycled Polypropylene can be handled and recycled in the same way as racks made of virgin Polypropylene. Please check with your local biosafety/sustainability/waste management regarding local standards and requirements as the Racks can be contaminated.

What material are epT.I.P.S. ® Racks with a body made of 100% recycled material made of?

The Racks are made of 100% recycled polypropylene. The recycled polypropylene used is post-consumer recyclate (PCR) from the industry and is collected exclusively from contact lens production waste. The so-called "single source" collection of pure polypropylene from the production of medical products ensures that the recyclate retains the purity and integrity required for the production of laboratory consumables.
