mode until you change it again.

PIPETMAN® DIAMOND TIPS
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are made to the highest specifications;
strict quality control is maintained throughout the manufacturing
process. These tips are used to calibrate PIPETMAN M, therefore
for optimum performance we recommend using PIPETMAN Tips
with your PIPETMAN M.
However, PIPETMAN M also offers you a high compatibility with a
large number of other tips. For more information, please contact
your Gilson distributor.
Every PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tip is individually marked with an
identification number (ID). To ensure accuracy and precision,
Gilson’s quality assurance system focuses on the following critical
parameters:
●
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are made from pure polypropylene (virgin, metal-free,
to avoid the possibility of contamination). They are available sterilized and with
filters.
●
Sterilized PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are certified free of detectable RNases,
DNases, DNA, RNA, and proteases.
●
Optimized shape (revised collar for optimum sealing, thin walls, and fine point),
making them easier to mount, more flexible, with no vortexing, and improved
precision.
●
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are free from even microscopic defects, especially
at the orifice. All surfaces are smooth and hydrophobic, thereby avoiding the
excessive retention of liquids that causes poor accuracy and a lack of precision.
