Novex Flat Gel Loading Tips 0.37 mm 200 ul 2 Racks of 200 Tips Each

Invitrogen™ (Novex) Flat Gel Loading Pipette Tips, 200 µL, 0.37 mm Outer Diameter (LC1002) – Pack of 2 Racks

The Invitrogen™ LC1002 Flat Gel Loading Tips (formerly under the legacy Novex brand) are high-precision, specialty liquid handling consumables engineered exclusively for loading nucleic acid or protein samples into vertical polyacrylamide and horizontal agarose electrophoresis gels. Featuring an ultra-thin, flattened "duckbill" capillary micro-orifice with a nominal **0.37 mm outer diameter**, these tips allow seamless, microscale access into thin, low-clearance spaces—specifically 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm precast protein minigels (such as the NuPAGE® or Bolt™ systems). Precision-molded from premium, ultra-clear virgin polypropylene, these 200 µL universal-fit tips maximize sample visualization and ensure uniform, splash-free specimen dispensing without tearing the delicate polyacrylamide matrix. Supplied as a targeted application pack of 2 racks containing 200 tips each (400 tips total per pack), this non-sterile, RNase/DNase-free tip line is ideal for SDS-PAGE, 1D protein profiling, and sequencing gel workflows.

Technical Performance & Structural Architecture

• 0.37 mm Flat Capillary Tip Profile: Engineered with a micro-thin, flattened terminal profile measuring 0.37 mm on its outer margin. This customized shape allows the tip tip to glide smoothly into the wells of 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm mini-gels, bypassing well-wall friction and eliminating sample overflow.
• Universal Friction-Fit Hub Alignment: Designed with a standard flexible collar geometry that establishes a gas-tight friction seal across major single-channel pipettor brands, including Eppendorf, Gilson Pipetman, Thermo Scientific Finnpipette, and Rainin (excluding LTS models).
• Extended Length Macro-Reach (83 mm): Features an elongated, narrow barrel layout spanning approximately 83 mm. This extended length keeps the pipette shaft clean by keeping it clear of the running buffer during sample loading cycles.
• Certified High Bio-Purity Level: Every production lot is certified to be completely free of detectable RNase, DNase, and exogenous DNA contamination, protecting sensitive genomic or proteomic samples from premature degradation.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Precast Protein Gel Loading Protocols: The industry benchmark choice for loading denatured protein specimens into NuPAGE Bis-Tris or Tris-Glycine mini-gels under cell buffer volumes.
• Precision Nucleic Acid Sequencing Tracks: The flat tip geometry aligns cleanly inside ultra-narrow vertical sequencing glass footprints, allowing precise fluid deposition without lateral tracking.
• Visual Spill Prevention: High-clarity resin allows the user to monitor liquid boundary travel, minimizing the risk of trapping air pockets or forcing sample spillover between adjacent gel lanes.
• **Compact Workbench Presentation:** Delivered in an automated bench grid pattern of 200 tips per rack, allowing for quick tip replacement and a neat setup during high-frequency Western Blotting assays.
