Rainin Pipette Tips RT LTS 1000 ul Case of 8 Racks of 96 Pipet Tips Each

Rainin™ Low-Retention LTS™ 1000 µL Racked Pipette Tips (30389212) – Case of 768 Tips

The Rainin™ 30389212 (RT-L1000L) is a premium liquid handling consumable engineered exclusively for Rainin pipettes equipped with the proprietary LiteTouch™ System (LTS™) cylindrical tip-and-nozzle design. Utilizing an advanced, hydrophobic Low-Retention fluoropolymer-treated composition, these 1000 µL tips eliminate fluid binding and minimize sample hang-up during highly viscid or low-surface-tension liquid transfers. Supplied in a pre-racked facility case containing 8 racks of 96 tips each (768 total tips), this validation-ready consumable configuration accelerates sample throughput while guaranteeing maximum analytical accuracy, high volumetric precision, and an airtight, effortless nozzle seal.

Technical Performance & Design

• Proprietary LTS™ LiteTouch Geometry: Specifically designed with a cylindrical, uniform-fitting collar shape rather than a traditional tapered wedge cone. This thin-walled seating reduces necessary tip attachment and ejection force by up to 85%, significantly mitigating repetitive strain injury (RSI) across high-frequency laboratory loops.
• Advanced Low-Retention Polymer Surface: Modifies the internal polypropylene matrix with a fluoropolymer finish that repels fluids. This structure prevents sample binding and tailing, ensuring maximum dispensing delivery for viscous reagents, master mixes, glycerol, and detergent-rich buffers.
• Rigid, Autoclavable Eco-Rack Layout: Racked within heavy-duty, reusable structural polycarbonate frames engineered to withstand direct downward pressure from multichannel pipettors without flexing. The entire rack framework is autoclavable at $121^\circ\text{C}$ ($250^\circ\text{F}$) for sterile cell-culture conversions.
• Optically Translucent Volumetric Profiling: Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances with clear exterior wall profiles to provide easy visual verification of fluid height during rapid aspiration strokes.

Key Benefits & Applications

• High-Yield Molecular Biology Assays: Highly recommended for processing fastidious genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic workflows where trace-level carryover or sample loss within the tip barrel can alter quantitative PCR or next-generation sequencing (NGS) baselines.
• Viscous Enzyme and Protein Dispensing: Provides clean fluid detachment when handling sticky protein concentrations, restive cell lysis buffers, restriction enzymes, and master mixes loaded with surfactants like Triton X-100 or Tween-20.
• Multichannel Laboratory Optimization: The ultra-flat rack layout aligns exactly with the multi-channel spacing of Rainin manual and electronic pipettors, ensuring clean, uniform tip pick-up without cross-alignment errors.
• Sustainable Footprint Refills: Once emptied, the rigid plastic storage racks are designed to accept eco-friendly Rainin GreenPak™ or SpaceSaver™ nested tip matrix sheets, lowering laboratory plastic discard footprints.
