Pipette Tips
• For 96-well assays, Molecular Devices specifies using 96-well,
FlexStation Pipette Tips. These 200 μL tips are available in black
(P/N 9000-0911) and clear (P/N 9000-0912) versions and can be
purchased in 10 racks per box quantities.
• For 384-well assays, Molecular Devices specifies using 384-well,
FLIPR and FlexStation Pipette Tips. These 30 μL tips are available
in black (P/N 9000-0764) and clear (P/N 9000-0763) versions and
can be purchased in 50 racks per case quantities. Please ask your
local sales representative for details regarding purchasing partial
cases.
Tips are available in both black and clear options. Black tips are generally
used during fluorescence assays when auto-fluorescent properties of
clear tips can interfere with your response. Molecular Devices
recommends that you evaluate both black and clear tips during assay
development to determine which tip version is most appropriate to your
assay.
