200 µL Rainin LTS-Compatible Pipette Tips

Puretest 200 µL Rainin LTS-compatible pipette tips are designed for routine laboratory liquid handling on selected LTS-style pipette shafts. The consolidated page combines filtered and non-filtered configurations while keeping sterility, low-retention and packaging choices explicit for procurement and validation.

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.
  • 200 µL nominal capacity: Designed for routine low- to mid-volume methods up to 200 µL; validate every critical transfer point; 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 200 µL
Recommended volume context routine low- to mid-volume methods up to 200 µL; validate every critical transfer point
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 10 racks 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.

The 200 µL family is a general-purpose choice for microplates, reaction tubes and reagent preparation. Filtered and non-filtered tips can require different liquid-class or manual-pipetting technique, particularly near the method limits.

Applications

Application Recommended Configuration Why
PCR, qPCR and nucleic-acid workflows Filtered, sterile; molecular-biology documentation confirmed Helps control aerosol carryover and protect the pipette
96-well plate setup Filtered or non-filtered by assay risk Racked format supports multichannel row loading
ELISA and immunoassay preparation Non-filtered or filtered according to carryover risk Suitable for routine reagent and sample transfers
Protein and detergent solutions Low-retention option where available Helps reduce residual film and reagent loss
General buffer dispensing Non-filtered Practical choice for controlled routine workflows

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.

Choose capacity first, then specify filter, sterility, retention surface and packaging. The three capacities are not interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the filtered and non-filtered products combined?

Capacity and fit are the same family; the filter is an ordering option. Combining them makes comparison easier and removes duplicate SEO pages.

Is the non-filtered tip 250 µL or 200 µL?

Rainin literature sometimes names the unfiltered geometry as 250 µL while listing 200 µL maximum application capacity. This Puretest page is organized by the 200 µL customer workflow; confirm the exact drawing and quoted SKU.

Can the rack be used with multichannel pipettes?

The 96-position format is intended to support compatible multichannel loading, but every channel must be checked for seating, seal and ejection.

Is low retention standard?

No. Standard and low-retention surfaces are separate configurations and must be specified.

Can you provide evaluation samples?

Yes. Provide the pipette model, channel count and target liquids so the relevant filter and surface options can be selected.
