PRODUCT DETAILS

1000 µL Rainin LTS-Compatible Pipette Tips

Puretest 1000 µL Rainin LTS-compatible pipette tips support large-volume liquid handling on selected manual and electronic pipettes fitted with LTS-style shafts. Filtered and non-filtered configurations are combined on one page for clearer selection, documentation and international sourcing.

This consolidated page replaces separate filtered and non-filtered listings. Buyers can compare both configurations under one capacity, reducing duplicate pages while making the ordering decision clearer.

Product Highlights

  • Dedicated LTS-style interface: Cylindrical sealing geometry and a positive-stop design are intended for compatible Rainin LTS pipette shafts.
  • Two contamination-control choices: Select filtered tips for aerosol-barrier workflows or non-filtered tips for routine transfers.
  • 1000 µL nominal capacity: Designed for large-volume transfers up to 1000 µL; confirm pipette range, liquid properties and method limits; verify the exact pipette model and method volume.
  • 96-position rack: Supports single-channel and compatible multichannel loading with organized bench handling.
  • High-purity polypropylene: Transparent tip body supports visual inspection of aspiration and dispense.
  • Low-retention option: Available only when confirmed by SKU; useful for proteins, detergents and valuable reagents.
  • Cleanliness options: Sterility and molecular-biology declarations are confirmed for the exact quoted configuration.
  • Qualification support: Samples, current drawings and documentation can be supplied for fit and performance evaluation.

Tip Structure and Functional Design

The upper tip section uses an LTS-style cylindrical interface with a limited sealing area. This geometry is intended to reduce the force needed to load and eject tips compared with a conventional tapered friction fit. A positive stop helps limit over-insertion and supports more consistent seating across channels.

The polypropylene shaft tapers toward a fine dispensing orifice. Filtered configurations add an aerosol barrier above the liquid path; non-filtered configurations retain the full unfiltered air path. The filter is not a liquid reservoir and the operating method should prevent the sample from contacting it.

Filtered vs. Non-Filtered Options

Selection Recommended Use Ordering and Validation Note
Filtered PCR/qPCR setup, NGS library preparation, RNA work, clinical or forensic samples and workflows where aerosol carryover must be controlled Confirm sterility, filter material, cleanliness documents and usable volume for the quoted SKU
Non-filtered Routine buffers, reagent dispensing, general sample preparation and workflows with established contamination controls Available sterile or non-sterile subject to configuration; confirm surface and packaging

A filter reduces the available internal air path and changes fluidic behavior. Recheck accuracy, precision, immersion depth, aspiration speed and blow-out when changing between filtered and non-filtered tips.

Technical Specifications

Nominal capacity 1000 µL
Recommended volume context large-volume transfers up to 1000 µL; confirm pipette range, liquid properties and method limits
Tip interface LTS-style cylindrical low-force sealing geometry; compatibility must be qualified
Tip material High-purity virgin polypropylene; exact resin and color by SKU
Filter Filtered or non-filtered
Retention surface Standard or low-retention option, subject to SKU confirmation
Sterility Sterile or non-sterile, configuration-dependent
Rack format 96 tips per rack; commonly 8 racks / 768 tips per case configuration, subject to Puretest confirmation
Pipette context Selected Rainin manual and electronic single- or multichannel pipettes equipped with LTS shafts
Use Single-use laboratory liquid handling
Documentation Material, cleanliness, sterility and lot documents confirmed for the quoted catalog number

Nominal capacity and platform context do not constitute a universal performance guarantee. Confirm the current Puretest drawing and validate the exact tip, pipette, liquid and method before routine or regulated use.

Pipette Compatibility and Qualification

These tips are intended as independently manufactured alternatives for selected Rainin pipettes fitted with LTS-style shafts. Compatibility depends on the exact pipette model, channel count, shaft condition, calibration, tip geometry and liquid-handling method. They are not universal tapered tips.

  1. Identify the pipette: Provide brand, full model, nominal range and single-, 8- or 12-channel format.
  2. Check loading and ejection: Confirm even seating, secure retention and acceptable ejection force on every channel.
  3. Run a leak check: Aspirate and hold liquid at representative volumes; inspect for drift, bubbles and droplets.
  4. Verify performance: Test accuracy and precision at minimum, routine and upper critical volumes with the actual liquid.
  5. Document the approved setup: Record the tip SKU, filter state, lot, pipette ID and method before controlled use.

For large-volume aspiration, allow sufficient equilibration and drain time and check for droplets at the orifice. Filtered tips require particular care to prevent liquid or foam from contacting the barrier.

Applications

Application Recommended Configuration Why
Buffer and media preparation Non-filtered or filtered according to contamination risk Supports larger routine transfers with fewer aspiration cycles
DNA/RNA extraction workflows Filtered, sterile; cleanliness documentation confirmed Helps protect the pipette from aerosol carryover
Clinical or environmental sample preparation Filtered when aerosol or carryover risk is significant Adds a barrier between the sample path and pipette
Viscous reagents Low-retention option; method optimization required Can reduce residual film when paired with suitable technique
Tube and reservoir dispensing Non-filtered for controlled routine work Suitable for common large-volume laboratory handling

Pipetting and Handling Recommendations

  • Use a fresh tip for each sample or validated aspiration/dispense cycle.
  • Pre-wet the tip when the method, liquid properties and precision requirement justify it.
  • Keep the pipette close to vertical during aspiration and use a consistent immersion depth.
  • For viscous, volatile, foaming or low-surface-tension liquids, optimize speed, delay, reverse-pipetting and tip-touch settings.
  • Do not allow liquid to enter the filter or pipette shaft.
  • Requalify the method after changing capacity, filter state, surface treatment, sterility or packaging configuration.

Material, Cleanliness and Quality Documentation

Puretest LTS-compatible tips are molded from high-purity virgin polypropylene for laboratory liquid handling. Material color, standard or low-retention surface, filter, sterility and packaging are configuration-specific and must be linked to the quoted SKU.

For molecular-biology workflows, state the required DNase, RNase, human-DNA, PCR-inhibitor, endotoxin or pyrogen limits before ordering. Puretest will confirm which declarations, Certificates of Analysis, Certificates of Conformance, irradiation records and lot-traceability documents apply to the selected configuration. A claim from one option must not be transferred to every tip in the family.

The tips are single-use consumables. Do not wash and reuse tips for analytical work because wetting, cleaning and chemical exposure can alter surface behavior, retention and contamination risk.

Ordering Information, Packaging and OEM Support

The standard presentation is a 96-position rack. Filtered and non-filtered supply, sterile and non-sterile configurations, refill systems, low-retention options and alternative case quantities can be discussed by exact capacity. Puretest also supports evaluation samples, customer catalog numbers, private labels, barcodes, carton artwork and distributor programs.

MOQ, rack color, tips per rack, racks per case, inner packaging, sterilization method, shelf life and lead time are confirmed on the final quotation. Do not place a validated order from a family description alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are filtered and non-filtered 1000 µL tips now ordered from one page?

Yes. Specify the filter, sterility, retention surface and package format in the RFQ.

Do these tips fit 1200 µL LTS pipettes?

Do not assume so. This page covers the 1000 µL family; 1200 µL and extended-length geometries require separate confirmation.

Are these compatible with Rainin multichannel pipettes?

Selected LTS multichannel formats may be compatible, but provide the exact model and qualify every channel.

Can the tips be autoclaved?

Do not autoclave filtered tips unless the exact product documentation permits it. For non-filtered options, confirm material and packaging instructions before any cycle.

What should I send for a sample request?

Provide pipette model, number of channels, target volumes, liquids, filter and sterility needs and annual usage.

Request a Sample, Drawing or Quotation

Send the pipette model, channel count, target volumes, liquids, filtered or non-filtered preference, sterility and cleanliness requirements, annual quantity and destination country. Contact Puretest for a compatibility sample, current drawing, documentation confirmation or commercial quotation.
