Corning Filter Tips & Pipet Tips Collection

Corning Filter Tips and Pipet Tips are engineered to deliver reliable liquid handling results that comply with ISO 8655 standards for precision and accuracy. Each lot is rigorously tested to ensure optimal volume recovery and minimal deviation, supporting reproducible outcomes in both research and routine laboratory workflows.

Key Performance Highlights:

• ISO 8655 Compliance:
  All Corning Filter Tips and Pipet Tips are manufactured and quality tested according to ISO 8655, the industry standard for pipette accuracy and precision.
• Consistent Accuracy:
  Tight manufacturing tolerances and strict quality control processes ensure every tip consistently dispenses the intended volume, reducing risk of pipetting errors.
• High Precision:
  Each tip is designed for uniform fit and excellent liquid retention, providing low coefficient of variation (CV) across a wide range of volumes—from microvolume to standard sizes.
• Batch Testing and Certification:
  Every production batch undergoes gravimetric testing for both accuracy and precision. Certificates are available upon request for traceability and compliance needs.

Corning tips are compatible with both air-displacement and positive-displacement pipettes. Their optimized geometry helps reduce sample loss and improve transfer reproducibility, making them a reliable choice for sensitive assays and routine applications alike.

After ensuring reliable pipetting results through ISO 8655-compliant precision and accuracy, it’s equally important to consider whether your chosen tips are compatible with your pipettes. Selecting the right Corning Filter Tips or Pipet Tips can maximize efficiency and maintain data integrity in daily laboratory routines.

Pipette Compatibility Guide: Filter vs. Pipet Tips

Corning Filter Tips and Pipet Tips are engineered for universal compatibility, fitting a wide range of manual and electronic pipettes commonly used in research and clinical labs. Whether using Corning, Eppendorf, Gilson, Rainin, or other leading brands, Corning tips are designed to provide a secure seal and smooth dispensing performance.

Compatibility Features:

• Universal Fit:
  Both Filter Tips and Pipet Tips are compatible with most standard pipette brands, ensuring flexibility for laboratories with mixed equipment.
• Optimized Seal:
  Precision-molded design delivers a tight fit, minimizing the risk of air leakage or sample loss during aspiration and dispensing.
• Reduced Force:
  Ergonomic construction makes tip attachment and ejection easier, helping reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

For detailed compatibility, Corning provides a pipette compatibility matrix showing which models best pair with Filter Tips or standard Pipet Tips. This ensures optimal performance, accurate results, and reliable sealing every time.

Transitioning from pipette compatibility, the next key decision is selecting between filter tips and non-filter pipet tips. The right choice supports sample integrity and reliable results in your specific applications.

When to Choose Filter Tips or Non-Filter Pipet Tips?

Filter Tips:

Corning Filter Tips are ideal for applications where contamination prevention is critical. The built-in filter acts as a barrier against aerosols, liquids, and cross-contamination, making these tips essential for sensitive procedures such as PCR, qPCR, cell culture, and molecular biology workflows.

• Recommended for: PCR, DNA/RNA handling, clinical diagnostics, and infectious sample processing
• Benefits: Prevents carryover, protects pipette shafts, reduces risk of false positives

Non-Filter Pipet Tips:

Corning Non-Filter Pipet Tips are suitable for general liquid handling tasks where contamination risk is low. These tips offer excellent precision and versatility for routine sample transfers, reagent dispensing, and serial dilutions.

• Recommended for: Buffer preparation, reagent addition, routine lab work
• Benefits: High precision, cost-effective, suitable for everyday applications

Selecting the right tip ensures both sample safety and cost-efficiency for your laboratory operations.

Ensuring sample safety and experiment reliability requires strict quality standards for all lab consumables. Corning tips are produced and certified to meet the most demanding requirements for sterility and nuclease freedom.

Sterility & Nuclease-Free Certifications

All Corning Filter Tips and Pipet Tips are available in sterile formats and are rigorously tested to be RNase-free, DNase-free, and non-pyrogenic. These certifications guarantee that tips will not introduce nucleases or endotoxins, which is critical for sensitive molecular biology procedures.

Key Certification Features:

• Sterile:
  Manufactured using certified sterile processes to prevent microbial contamination.
• RNase-/DNase-Free:
  Tested and certified to contain no detectable RNase or DNase, protecting your nucleic acid samples.
• Non-Pyrogenic:
  Ensures no endotoxin contamination, supporting cell culture and clinical workflows.

Each lot is quality-controlled, and certificates of analysis are available upon request to support regulatory compliance and audit requirements.
