Pipette tips (universal pipette tips, robotic pipette tips)
Pipette tips, especially automated tips may seem like a simple product, with a tube that is large at one end and small at the other. What is so difficult about this product?
Pipette tips cover the top level of technology in modern industry.
First of all, the machining accuracy of the pipette tip mold cannot exceed 0.5um, which you may not have much idea yet, about 1/10th of a hair's breadth of accuracy. Seemingly simple requirements, the mold from processing, polishing, to injection production wear and tear, to the stability of the product brings a great adjustment.
※ Pipette tip manufacturing: stability is currently the biggest gap between domestic and imported, the tip made out of the difficulty is not great, made good, made fine is the biggest challenge for domestic brands, stable production by mold accuracy, mold materials, injection molding machine quality, production management, quality control and many other aspects related. Yield rate control involves image shooting technology, automation level, GMP workshop management, production process optimization and other technology and management. It is easy to do something well, it is a science to keep doing something well for a hundred years.
Pipette tip residue: only 1ul of reagent is needed to do the experiment, how to suck 1ul of reagent error is not more than 0.5%, this is a science and an art. The residue problem during pipetting has always been a problem for domestic and foreign pipette tip manufacturers, and solving the residue problem is related to: pipette tip product design, mold processing, pipette tip material and manufacturing process.
