Smart experimental design of tip usage

Think and calculate: Which pipetting steps in which order make sense? By using a smart concept, you can easily save a significant amount of tips. Instead 40 tips, you can:

• Focus on equal steps
• Mastermix for 4 reagents: 4 tips
• Transfer to 8 sample tubes: 1 tip
• Sample transfer (at the end): 8 tips
• Total: 13 tips
• + 1 Mastermix tube

Reduction: Eppendorf epT.I.P.S. Racks

We did our homework: The design change of the single-use racks resulted in a reduction of rack weight by 19 to 35%, depending on the tip volume class.

The rack weight directly correlates with the amount of Polypropoylene (PP) being used for the rack.
