Rainin Pipette Tips RT LTS 200ul FL 960A/10 10 Racks of 96 Tips Each

Rainin RT-LTS 200 µL Filtered Low-Retention Pipette Tips (30389240) – 10 Racks of 96

The Rainin 30389240 (RT-LTS 200µL FL 960A/10) is a premium, validation-grade automation and manual pipette tip engineered for critical liquid handling protocols requiring absolute sample purity and structural reproducibility. Designed exclusively for Rainin pipettes equipped with the LiteTouch™ System (LTS), these tips feature a superhydrophobic low-retention fluoropolymer modification alongside an integrated tortuous-path aerosol barrier. Supplied sterile within rigid, bi-functional hinged racks in a case of 960 tips, this architecture drastically minimizes sample hold-up while preventing internal pipettor barrel contamination.

Technical Performance & Design

• LiteTouch System (LTS) Engineering: Features a cylindrical tip-fit design with a positive mechanical stop that seals perfectly with minimal insertion force. This drastically lowers tip loading and ejection friction, mitigating hand strain during long pipetting sessions.
• Superhydrophobic Low-Retention Coating: The internal polypropylene boundaries are molecularly modified to minimize surface energy. This forces viscous liquids, proteins, enzymes, and genomic strands to discharge completely, maximizing volumetric delivery accuracy.
• Tortuous-Path Aerosol Protection: Integrated with a high-density polyolefin filter matrix that blocks airborne vapors, aerosol droplets, and over-pipetted liquids from entering the shaft, completely eliminating instrument cross-contamination.
• BioClean Ultra Certification Layout: Manufactured under fully automated cleanroom protocols and tested to ensure each tip assembly is certified free from detectable RNase, DNase, human DNA, Endotoxins, ATP, proteins, and PCR inhibitors.
