Autoclaving Instructions for TipOne® Products
- Place racked tips in the autoclave. If desired, the hinged lid may be propped open using the tab on the front of the lid.
- Autoclave at 121°C (249.8°F) under a pressure of 15 psi for 15 minutes.
- No drying cycle is required. Allow the tips to thoroughly dry at room temperature before use.
Note: Remove the shrink-wrap from stacked tips before autoclaving. Tips in refill packages must be placed inside the hinged racks before autoclaving. Excessive heat and/or prolonged time in the autoclave may cause warping of both the tips and the rack. Filter tips are not autoclavable.

Blocking Efficiency of Filter Tips
The blocking efficiency of filter tips is investigated using airborne particles. Filter tips seated on air displacement pipettes are used to prevent potential contamination of the pipette tip cones (i.e. DNA fragments). The more effective the filter, the less the risk of contamination. This is of utmost importance for preventing false-positive results, especially in highly sensitive PCR experiments. In this investigation, TipOne® 200 µl filter tips have been compared with those of other manufacturers.
