Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Nanoliter Dispensing Pipette Tips
|
Munich, GERMANY (April 1, 2008) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the
world leader in serving science, introduces a new line of Thermo Scientific
PocketTips®, enabling nanoliter volume dispensing on current laboratory
automated systems. An internally molded capillary pocket allows transfer of
50-500 nL molecular compounds suspended in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) directly to
assay plates, saving time, reagent and labware, and improving data quality with
in-tip mixing. This new line will be showcased at the Thermo Scientific booth
105/204, Hall B1 at Analytica 2008, being held in Munich, Germany, from April
1-4.
PocketTips are made from high-quality polypropylene that eliminates adherence
and maximizes the recovery of all fluids. Through aspiration, the capillary
pocket fills with the specified amount of compound solution and facilitates soft
in-tip mixing of sample and assay material. By removing timely intermediate
dilution steps, this innovative pipetting method makes it possible to perform
assays quicker, reduces reagent costs by conserving valuable compounds and
prevents compound precipitation for more accurate and precise results. Thermo
Scientific PocketTips are ideal for all secondary compound screening
applications, such as selectivity assays (P450), potency determinations (IC50),
cell- and enzyme-based assays and PCR primer dilutions.

Scientific booth 105/204, Hall B1 at Analytica 2008. Alternatively please visit
