Safetyspace™ Filter Tips – Filter Tips
for Contamination Protection
Safetyspace™ Filter Tips offer optimal protection for yourwork from cross contamination and enable you to use thefull volume of the tip with any pipetting mode. They feature
the unique Safetyspace™ air gap that leaves additional
space between the sample and the filter that conventional
filter tips do not have. This extra space prevents the liquidfrom touching, and permeating, the filter and thus guarantees the pipetting accuracy.

Low Retention Tips –Hydrophobic Tips for Maximum Sample
RecoveryLow Retention Tips maximize sample recovery and theaccuracy of results when pipetting detergent containing
solutions or other liquids with low surface tension. Using
patented Sartorius technology, we can manufacture
tips with fully hydrophobic and highly liquid-repellent
surfaces. Low Retention Tips offer excellent chemical resistance without any leachables.

The four Low Retention Tips on the right retain
the minimum amount of residual liquid.

-----

Low Retention Tips are beneficial in sensitive molecularbiology applications, where reagents often contain viscous
substances and detergents. These applications can include:
PCR and real-time PCR
cloning, sequencing, and other DNA & RNA techniques
SDS-PAGE and other protein analysis methods
protein purification techniques

Single Tray racks and Refill Towers
Volume range from 10 to 1,200 µL

Unique Safetyspace™ Feature
Low Retention Tips maximize sample recovery and the
Safetyspace™ Filter Tips have additional space between
the sample and filter. Any liquid types and pipetting
techniques can be applied without the risk of the liquidpermeating the filter.

Safetyspace™ – the additional space between
the sample and filter.

The extra space is particularly beneficial in the following
applications:pipetting foaming liquids such as buffers and proteinswhen using electronic pipettes with multiple dispensing
functionsreverse pipetting

Protect Your Pipette and Sample
with Safe-Cone Filters
Safe-Cone Filters act as a final barrier to prevent any fluids
and liquid vapors from coming into contact with the internal
components of the pipette. These unique and replaceablefilters are made of polyethylene (PE). They:---

protect the pipette and sample from contamination
prolong the pipette’s lifetime
reduce maintenance intervals

Safe-Cone Filters cannot be used together with filter tips.
Removing the Safe-Cone Filter

Plus Filter
For more demanding applications such as radioactive work,
cell culture, bacterial and virological work, and molecularbiology.
Standard Filter
For general applications. These filters can be used for thesame applications as the Plus filter, but need to be changed
more frequently.

Responsible Manufacturing
At Sartorius, we understand our responsibility as a singleuse plastic consumable manufacturer. This is why we pay
particular attention to the environmental impact of ouroperations and products, throughout their lifecycle: fromproduct design, packaging, and all the way through to our
production technology.
Environmentally Friendly Design
Beginning at the design stage, we look for ways of reducing
the number of plastics and hazardous substances and materials we use. In our approach, we also look at the production
process, energy and waste streams, and all the way to ouroffice spaces. Let’s look at how the design of the various
packaging options can help you choose the best options foryour lab:
The single tray pipette tip boxes are intended for applications requiring the utmost purity of products and aredesigned to have a small plastic footprint (Fig 1.).

Figure 1. Amount of plastic in single tray boxes of several single-use
pipette tip manufacturers. Sartorius’s single tray tip box is designed touse the least amount of plastic possible, while also providing a stablebox from which to pick pipette tips.
Note: the average 0.5 L water bottle weighs 10 g.

-

The refill packages, in contrast, are designed to give theoption for a reduced plastic footprint, while also maintaining product purity. When you choose the refill packages,
the amount of plastic saved per package is the equivalentof approximately 38 water bottles per package comparedto the single tray box (Fig 2.).
The refill tower system is an ecological yet practical optionthat reduces the total waste of all product packaging by
up to 61 % and plastic by up to 48 % compared to single
tray box tips. Thanks to the small footprint of the product,when you choose this option, you also help reduce transportation emissions, as the package is only one-third thesize of the single tray package, yet it contains the same
number of pipette tips.
Finally, the FlexiBulk tip pack is the most ecological andeconomical choice; this package uses up to 67 % lessplastic and weighs 30 % less compared to the single tray
option. The amount of plastic saved per package is comparable to 75 water bottles and the package itself is lessthan half the size of the single tray package, which further
reduces emissions from shipping.

Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing
At our manufacturing sites, we have invested in production technologies that generate less waste. Our pipette
tip production facility in Kajaani, Finland uses 100 %renewable electricity and has achieved a waste recovery
rate of 98 %. Additionally, plastic waste from Sartorius
pipette tip manufacturing is recycled for use as raw
materials for other plastic products. We are continuously
working to reduce our environmental impact, and todrive this, Sartorius Biohit Liquid Handling complies with
ISO 14001 environmental standards.
Recyclable Materials
The plastic material used in the products and their packaging is suitable for recycling or use in waste-to-energy
facilities (Fig 3.). For example, tips and tip racks made of
100 % polypropylene (PP) can be fully recycled as energy
waste. The cardboard packages are made from recycledmaterial and are fully recyclable.

For example, tips and tip racks made of 100 % polypropylene (PP) can be fully recycled as energy waste. The product box, tray, and air-tightwrapping are made of polypropylene. Also, used Optifit tips can be recycled, if used to pipette non-hazardous materials.
Sales unit packages and refill tower packages are made from recyclable cardboard. The FlexiBulk and refill package material are mixed plastic;
therefore, follow local guidelines for recycling.

Sartorius ABC of Tip Purity
Additive-free
Manufacturing tips from pure virgin polypropylene mini­mizes the risk of substances from the tip material leaching
into samples. This is why Sartorius tips are free of colors,
clarifying agents, and plasticizers.

Human DNA-free
Sartorius purity certified tips are analyzed for the presence of DNA using quantitative PCR and human DNA
specific primers. The determined detection limit of theassay is < 1 pg/µL.

DNase-free
DNases are powerful enzymes (nucleases) that degrade
DNA by hydrolyzing it into short fragments. Even trace
amounts of DNases can lead to low or no yields in DNA
techniques such as PCR. DNase contamination sources are
human contact and bacteria. DNase-free tips are tested for
DNase activity with fluorometric assay by detecting degra­
dation of labeled DNase substrate. DNase-free pipettetips show no evidence of DNase activity in the assay with adetection level of < 6,25*10-5 U/μL when DNase I was used
as a standard.

RNase-free
RNases are enzymes that catalyze the degradation of RNA
into short fragments. These very stable enzymes are difficult to remove and originate from human skin, hair, andsaliva, as well as from bacteria. Tips are tested for RNase
activity using fluorometric assay. RNase-free tips show
no evidence of RNase activity with a detection level of< 3,125*10-9 U/μL when RNase A was used as a standard.

Endotoxin-free
Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides that are part of the outermembrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They cause fever inhumans and impair the growth of cell cultures. Endotoxins
are very durable and are present wherever bacteria areable to grow, i.e. air, water, soil, skin, raw materials, and in any
non-sterile environment. When certified endotoxin free,
the tips are tested according to FDA guidelines for medical
devices. The Ph. Eur. 2.6.14, Method D. Validated test result
for endotoxin-free tips is < 0,005 IU/mL (EU/mL).
