Why Low Retention Tips
Low Retention (LR) tips have a hydrophobic coating / surface treatment that minimizes liquid retention in the tip after dispense — critical at low volumes where standard tips can leave 1–5% of the aspirated volume behind:
- Better volumetric accuracy at low volumes (5–20 µL workflows)
- Lower reagent waste — costly reagents (enzymes, antibodies) deliver more usable volume
- Reduced cross-contamination between aspirate cycles
Ordering & Configuration
