mosquito’s disposable micropipettes consist of a stainless steel piston in a close-fitting high-density polyethylene barrel. These inert materials have no effect on most reagents and are strong enough to pierce most plate sealing films. Their low cost can save as much as 50% on the price of other disposable tip technologies.

The micropipettes are shipped and loaded onto the instrument using a spool similar to a film reel. This provides extremely high density storage for 26,000 or 36,000 pipettes, and results in a huge reduction in plastic ware compared to traditional disposable tips.

For very sensitive applications which require a fresh pipette for every single well, a single reel of 26,000 micropipettes can service more than 270 x 96-well plates or a reel of 36,000 can service 90 x 384-well plates before needing to be replaced. For applications where pipette changing is not required for every step, such as sampling to multiple daughter plates, pipette efficiencies go up dramatically. Reel changeover takes less than 2 minutes.

TTP LabTech also offer consumables specifically for protein crystallography, which include micro-reservoir strips for holding protein sample, and our range of low-cost plate seals for hanging drop set-ups.
