Beckman Coulter Pipette Tips 220 ul for Biomek 30 Racks with 96 Tips Each

The Beckman Coulter 379501 Pipette Tips are specialized automation consumables engineered for high-precision liquid handling on Beckman Coulter Biomek systems. These tips are classified as P250 tips, featuring a nominal capacity of roughly 250 µl (with a safe working volume often cited around 220 µl to prevent liquid contact with the nozzle).

Key Features & Specifications:

Span-8 Compatibility: These tips are specifically designed for use with the Span-8 pod found on Biomek FX, NX, and i-Series workstations (as well as legacy Biomek 1000/2000 systems). The Span-8 configuration allows for variable spacing between probes, enabling the robot to transfer liquids between vessels of different sizes, such as from test tubes to 96-well microplates.

Precision Molding: Manufactured to tight tolerances, these tips are guaranteed to be straight and uniform. This geometric precision is critical for automation to ensure the robot can enter small wells without "crashing" or touching the sides, and to maintain a reliable air-tight seal with the pipetting mandrels.

Material: They are constructed from clear, non-conductive polypropylene. This allows for visual inspection of the sample during aspiration and dispensing.

Rack Format: They are typically supplied in heavy-duty racks designed to sit securely on the instrument deck.

Common Applications: These tips are the workhorse for tube-to-plate transfers, serial dilutions, and reagent addition steps in high-throughput screening and genomics workflows.
