3.1 . Materials
The F1-ClipTip is made of mechanically durable and chemically resistant materials.
For waste disposal instructions, contact your local environmental agency. For more information,
contact us at info.pipettes@thermofisher.com.
Aggressive substances can damage the pipette or pipette parts. Check for material
compatibility before using organic solvents and aggressive chemicals.
ClipTip pipette tips are made of natural color virgin polypropolyene. The tips feature a hydrophobic
surface, which effectively prevents liquid retention. ClipTips pipette tips come in multiple packaging
options including racks and reload packs, in sterile and non-sterile versions. ClipTip tips are also available
with a filter and are certified free of human DNA, RNase, DNase, ATP and endotoxin contamination.
