Filter pipette tip Safetyspace®

Safetyspace® Filter Tips tips offer optimal protection for your work from cross contamination and enable you to use the full volume of the tip with any pipetting mode. In addition to protecting your samples, the filter protects your pipette. The Safetyspace® gap is a unique product feature of Sartorius tips. It leaves extra room for the liquid, so it never touches the filter eliminating loss of sample, reducing risk of contamination and reduction in accuracy.​ Now you can use the entire volume range of your electronic pipette in any pipetting mode. Aerosol Barrier Filter​ Safetyspace® Filter tips are fitted with pure polyethylene filters that effectively capture solid and liquid aerosol particles. The filter is made without self-sealing additives to avoid any interference with your samples or results. The Extra Space is Particularly Useful in the Following Applications: Pipetting foaming liquids such as buffers and proteins​ Pipetting solvents​ Multi dispensing and reverse pipetting Pipette tip filters are usually made of Polyethylene which doesn't tolerate autoclaving conditions. Safetyspace® Filter Tips come sterilized so there is no need to autoclave them. You shouldn't as any filter will affect the airflow inside the pipette. Having two filters might have a significant effect on the accuracy and precision of the pipette. With some pipettes the Safe-cone filter and the pipette filter might collide leaving the seal between the pipette and tip incomplete. Safe-cone filters are used multiple times and the risk of contamination is higher than with filter tips that are discarded after a single use.
