ESP Tips TPS Series
ESP Disposable Pipette Tips for TPS Pipettors
Apricot Designs introduces Externally Sealed Pipette (ESP) Tips, a proprietary technology designed for seamless compatibility with TPS-series pipettors. These innovative pipette tips feature external multiple flexible seal rings that minimise insertion and ejection force, making tip loading and unloading effortless.
This advanced design eliminates the need for costly liquid handling solutions for 384-well plate applications, such as pressurised tip-loading mechanisms and O-rings. By integrating ESP technology, laboratories benefit from improved seal integrity, system reliability, and overall performance, all while significantly reducing maintenance costs.
For TPS-series pipettors, ESP tips are automatically loaded and unloaded onto the pipetting head, removing the need for manual loaders. This allows for streamlined operation and extended walkaway automation, enhancing efficiency in high-throughput workflows.
ESP tips are available in 125 µL, 50 µL, and 15 µL versions. We also provide custom-designed pipette tips tailored to specific applications, ensuring precision and compatibility for specialised laboratory needs.
