Tip Comb for IsoPure 96 (AP1096-TC, Case of 50)

The AP1096-TC is the 96-place magnetic tip comb consumable for the Accuris AP1096 IsoPure 96 Automated Purification System — sold as case of 50 combs. The tip comb is the per-cycle consumable that holds the magnetic-bead transfer tips for the IsoPure 96's automated bead-transfer workflow across the 96-sample plate format. One tip comb is consumed per extraction cycle, paired one-to-one with each AP1096-DWP deep-well plate. Per the IsoPure 96 brochure, the chassis automates tip-comb loading and unloading: *"Automate tip comb loading and unloading by designating the respective plate positions in the script."*

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Tip comb consumable — IsoPure 96 chassis only. Order this SKU when:

1. Initial chassis commissioning — order an initial supply when commissioning a new AP1096 chassis to support workflow startup.
2. Workflow-recurring replenishment — every IsoPure 96 extraction cycle consumes one tip comb; replenishment cadence depends on workflow throughput.
3. High-throughput facility consumable inventory — sequencing cores and biotech facilities running daily 96-sample batches consume tip combs at a steady cadence.
4. Multi-chassis facilities — facilities running multiple IsoPure 96 chassis maintain centralized tip-comb stock.

IsoPure 96 Per-Cycle Consumable Pair

Per AP1096 brochure, every IsoPure 96 extraction cycle requires:

Pack-quantity alignment. The tip comb and deep-well plate ship in matched 50/case pack quantities — one case of each supports 50 IsoPure 96 extraction cycles before reorder. This pack-quantity matching simplifies inventory management.

Design Architecture

Automated tip-comb loading. Per IsoPure 96 brochure: the chassis automates tip-comb loading and unloading by designating tip-comb plate positions in the protocol script. This eliminates manual tip-comb handling steps and supports walk-away operation across the protocol cycle.

Bead-transfer mechanism. The IsoPure 96's magnetic comb assembly engages the AP1096-TC tip comb at the start of each protocol step, moves through the deep-well plate's wells in protocol-step sequence (lysis → binding → wash 1 → wash 2 → wash 3 → elution), and uses magnetization / demagnetization cycles to transfer beads through the wells.

One comb per cycle, no reuse. Tip combs are discarded at cycle end to prevent cross-cycle contamination — standard magnetic-bead purification consumable practice.

Sterile / contaminant-free packaging. Per Accuris consumable conventions, the tip combs are sterile-packed and contaminant-free for nucleic-acid extraction workflows where DNase / RNase contamination would compromise sample integrity.

Application Profile

Per-cycle workflow consumable for all IsoPure 96 extractions — DNA / RNA / protein magnetic-bead extraction at 96-sample throughput.

High-throughput sequencing core operations — sequencing facilities running daily 96-sample IsoPure 96 batches.

Clinical-research diagnostics labs — diagnostic labs running batch patient-sample extractions at 96-sample scale.

Pharma / biotech production-scale screening prep — sample-prep workflows feeding 96-well downstream automation.

Multi-chassis facility consumable management — consolidated purchasing for shared facilities running multiple IsoPure 96 chassis.

Ordering & Configuration

Per-cycle workflow consumable. Each IsoPure 96 extraction cycle uses one tip comb. Plan procurement to match the workflow's per-month or per-quarter cycle count.

Pair with AP1096-DWP deep-well plate in matched 50/case pack quantities. Confirm both consumable inventories at order.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (AP1096 in inventory), workflow throughput (per-month extraction cycle count), deep-well plate inventory (AP1096-DWP), elution plate inventory (AP1096-ELP if applicable), and lead time.

Warranty: Per Accuris standard consumable terms — confirm at quote.

Accuris IsoPure 96 per-cycle consumable family:

- AP1096-TC (this product) — 96-place tip comb, case of 50 (per-cycle bead-transfer comb)

- AP1096-DWP — 96 deep-well plates, case of 50 (per-cycle sample vessel)

- AP1096-ELP — 96-well elution plates, case of 100 (optional separate-plate elution workflows)

Tip comb + deep-well plate is the workflow-mandatory pair for every IsoPure 96 extraction cycle.
