Pipette Tip Purity | Application Guide
Authors: Sandra Söderholm, Pia Ojala | Last updated: August, 2025
Overview
Pipette tips are among the most critical laboratory consumables, and their purity directly impacts the reliability of research and testing outcomes. Even minor contaminants such as nucleases, human DNA, endotoxins, or plastic leachables can compromise sensitive assays and lead to costly errors. This guide details the rigorous manufacturing processes, ISO-certified standards, and validated testing methods that Sartorius applies to guarantee pipette tip purity, sterility, and performance across diverse applications.
This guide shows how purity testing protects accuracy, compliance, and efficiency in the lab. You will learn how Sartorius pipette tips are validated to be free from contaminants, tested for sterility and performance, and supported with lot-specific certifications for full traceability, helping you make confident choices for critical applications.
