Pipette Tips
Pipette tips are essential tools in any laboratory. Sartorius offers a comprehensive range of tips designed to deliver accurate, reproducible results while supporting sustainable lab practices, with lifecycle thinking.
For eco-conscious labs, we’ve added a new pipette tip box, the Light Pack, that delivers the same performance as a conventional tip box, but cuts plastic use by 74% and fold flat for easy recycling.
By choosing Sartorius pipette tips, you can maximize pipetting precision, minimize waste, and make environmentally responsible choices, all while maintaining high-quality performance and efficiency in the lab.

Various Tip Box Options
Choose from sterilized single tray tips for clean rooms or from our practical refill options; there is a package for every lab.
Single Tray Tips
These pipette tips feature a color-code tray matching with pipettes and are DNase, RNase, human DNA and endotoxin free according to Pharmacopeia limits. Choose ready-to-use sterile pipette tips or fully autoclavable non-sterile tips.
Refill Tips
The ecological refill tips are available in a convenient tower format or in purity certified refill package, which is also available as sterilized. You reduce your environmental impact when you replace your empty tray from these refill packages.
Bulk Tips
The revolutionary packaging design of Flexibulk helps reduce your lab space and environmental impact during transportation. These bulk pipette tips are purity certified and the lid can be reclosed. Filling empty racks is now easier than with the old bagged tips.
Light Pack
For lab managers focused on waste reduction and recycling, select Optifit® or SafetySpace® tips in a sturdy cardboard box with award-winning sustainable design, winner of the 2026 RedDot Award, that folds flat for easy processing, without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sartorius can help you decide quickly with our pipette tip selector tool. You can filter by your pipette model and volume range, then refine by application and tip features such as:
- Filter vs. non filter
- Low retention
- Sterile purity levels, and
- Geometries like wide bore or extended length.
The tool reveals compatible options, technical details, and available packaging or refill formats, so you can choose the best tip for your workflow with confidence.
Choosing the right pipette tip is essential for accuracy, reproducibility, and sample integrity. A well‑matched tip ensures a tight seal and consistent dispensing, reducing systematic error and improving precision. The correct tip type also prevents:
- Contamination (e.g., aerosol barrier tips for PCR)
- Maximizes recovery for sticky or viscous samples (low retention surfaces)
- Protects fragile samples (wide bore for cells/DNA)
- Supports compliance with sterile, RNase/DNase free, or endotoxin free requirements while minimizing hand strain and unnecessary costs
No. Pipette tips are single-use consumables. Reusing them can cause poor sealing, inaccurate results, and contamination. Always change tips between different liquids, samples, or temperatures to ensure precision and reliability.
Sartorius offers:
- Standard tips for everyday use.
- Filtered SafetySpace® tips for contamination protection
- Extended-length tips for deep or narrow vessels.
- Wide-bore tips for viscous liquids or delicate samples, such as cells.
Yes. Non-filtered tips can be autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 minutes. For sensitive applications, Sartorius provides pre-sterilized tips that meet international sterility and purity standards.
Sartorius Safetyspace® filter tips feature a unique air gap that prevents sample contact with the filter, even during reverse pipetting. They provide maximum protection against contamination in applications such as PCR, qPCR, and molecular biology.
Yes. All Sartorius pipette tips are 100% recyclable. Optifit tips are made from polypropylene, while Safetyspace® tips use polypropylene with polyethylene filters. Always check local guidelines for safe recycling of lab plastics.
- Verify pipette tip compatibility.
- Inspect and clean the pipette cone.
- Attach tips straight, with gentle pressure.
- Ensure the sealing ring is engaged. If problems continue, contact Sartorius Service for pipette maintenance or calibration.
We recommend that you follow your local recycling guidelines. Even though you would not be able to recycle, we recommend that you pull out the tray and flattened the cardboard box. In this way the box does not take up so much space in the garbage bag.
Our pipette tips are manufactured in our own production facilities using carefully selected 100% virgin polypropylene raw material. We control the entire manufacturing process from start to finish to ensure consistent quality, purity, and performance.
Quality and purity are maintained through full process control in our production facilities, from raw material selection to final manufacturing, ensuring the highest standards are consistently met.
Our quality management system complies with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 13485 standards, supporting robust quality assurance and regulatory alignment.
Yes. Production takes place under ISO 14644-1 controlled conditions, ensuring ISO Class 8 cleanroom standards to guarantee secure tip purity and minimize contamination risk.
