Static - Dissipating Racks for 384-format Tips by Axygen Scientific, Inc.

However, inferior labware can cause breakdowns in your workflow, resulting in the need to “babysit” your robot during assay preparation. One of the most common causes of automation breakdown is static build up on racks of 384-well tips. Because the tips themselves are small and light, gravity is sometimes not enough to overcome the charge, resulting in incomplete ejection, tips being carried across and/or dropped on the deck or into other labware, dripping reagent, contamination, and at worst, a catastrophic crash.

Axygen has upgraded its Beckman-compatible 384-well tip products by introducing black static-dissipating racks. The conductive nature of the rack’s material allows for dissipation of the charge when the rack is placed on the deck, completely eliminating tip hang-up and all the downstream problems it causes in your workflow, including the need to babysit your system. All Beckman-compatible 384-well tips are packaged in this superior rack, including the standard 30µl, extended-length 50µl, fine-point 45µl, and the exclusive low-volume 1536-certified tip. Axygen’s Agilent/Velocity11-compatible 384 tips are also packaged in black static-dissipating racks, including the exclusive low-volume 5µl tip.
