Lab researchers looking to add color and style to their sample preparation routines can now create personalized skins for their handheld pipettes. Thermo Scientific MyPipette Skins can be customized for any Thermo Scientific F1-ClipTip or Finnpipette F1 manual pipetting system. Thermo Fisher Scientific will showcase these accessories during the 114th General Meeting of the American Society Microbiology (Thermo Scientific Booth #725), Boston Convention Center, May 18-20, 2014.

“From the day a scientist enters the lab, the pipette becomes their personal tool they use throughout the day, similar to the stethoscope for a doctor or a set of knives for a chef,” said Raymond Mercier, business director, liquid transfer, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Just as we use wallpaper and cool covers to personalize our smartphones and tablets, we can now offer these capabilities for pipettes. With our new MyPipette Skins, we are enabling researchers to personalize these daily tools with a protective skin that gives them a way to add some fun and expression to their daily work in the lab.”

Choose from thousands of designs that let researchers customize their pipettes any way they want. The UV-protected, fade-resistant MyPipette Skins are easy to apply, clean and remove, making it simple to change the design as often as they would like.

Finntip Series - Standard

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Finntips are manufactured using high quality raw materials and the latest molding techniques and are designed using our knowledge of liquid handling. Our modern automated production facilities, and our expertise, enable us to produce uniformly smooth, hydrophobic surfaces on the inside and outside of our tips, to prevent liquid retention and thus ensure accurate and precise pipetting. Product detail: Finntip 250 Universal Volume range 0.5 - 250 µl Designed for use with middle volume Finnpipettes Length: 5.2 cm  Colour code: Yellow  New: Finntip 250 Universal refill kits. Two different kits are available: the Finntip 250 Universal refill starter kit and the Finntip 250 Universal refill kit. The refill starter kit contains four racks of 96 Finntip 250 Universal tips each and one refill tower of 10 matrix plates with 96 tips each. When the rack is empty, the matrix plate can be removed and a full matrix plate easily transferred from the tower to the rack. The standard refill kit contains two refill towers of 10 matrix plates each. These refill kits are conveniently compact taking up little storage space in the laboratory. The racks can be re-used and therefore help to reduce waste, while the packaging for the refill kits is made of recyclable paper board. Finntip 250 Universal can be used for a volume range of 0.5–250 µl and is ideal for use with both single- and multi-channel pipettes. Tips and racks can be autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 minutes.
