ART Universal Pipette Tips

Exceptional tips for any application, any pipette

Thermo Scientific ART universal pipette tips deliver consistent and reliable protection from aerosol contamination and cross-contamination. With its advanced proprietary self-sealing barrier, the tip provides protection against liquid and aerosol contamination. ART universal tips are also compatible with a wide range of pipettes and come in non-filtered and specialty varieties including gel-loading, wide-bore, and low-retention.

Helping ensure accuracy and contamination prevention

Self-sealing barrier

ART tips differ from traditional filter tips. The self-sealing barrier swells and shuts down, completely preventing liquid samples and aerosols from contacting the pipette nose cone, helping protect the pipette and subsequent samples from cross contamination.

Low-retention technology

ART tips offer a low-retention option. The surface minimizes retention and helps ensure the maximum amount of liquid is transferred during pipetting. The low-retention feature also reduces the residual droplets clinging to the inside of the tips, enabling reliable and reproducible results.

Greener alternatives

We are committed to designing our products with the environment in mind. ART tips feature green alternatives for packaging and recycling. The ART reload towers and inserts use up to 54% less source material, helping reduce waste and increasing storage space in your laboratory.

Uncompromised purity

Whether continuous or batch manufacturing is used for large- or small-molecule product or utilizing process analytical technology with single-use systems, we have an ART tip for your application. All sterile ART pipette tips are certified to be free of RNase, DNase, DNA, ATP, and endotoxins. Our Fit-for-Purpose badges and documentation help you choose the right tip for your needs.
