You triple-check your protocol. Your reagents are fresh. Your calibration is perfect.And yet, your results are off. Before blaming your technique or your instrument, let’s talk about what most people overlook, which is the pipette tip.
Yes. That tiny piece of plastic between your pipette and your sample could be quietly sabotaging your work. If you handle precious samples, low volumes, rare reagents, or sensitive assays, your pipette tip isn’t just a consumable. It’s a critical control point in your workflow.
Let’s discuss in detail how pipette tips are crucial for sample handling and why CAPP ExpellPlus Pipette Tips can be a great choice.
The Hidden Problems that Pipette Tips Can Cause
Most labs focus on the pipette itself. But the tip determines:
- How accurately is liquid aspirated
- How much sample sticks to the walls
- Whether contamination sneaks into your workflow
A poor-quality tip can cause:
- Sample loss due to retention
- Inconsistent volumes
- Cross-contamination
- Wasted reagents and reruns
In high-stakes workflows like PCR, qPCR, sequencing, cell culture, diagnostics, or drug discovery, these “small” losses become big problems very fast.
CAPP Pipette Tips: Designed for Accuracy
CAPP ExpellPlus Pipette Tips aren’t designed to be just compatible. They’re designed to be trusted.
Manufactured in a world-class, fully automated clean-room facility in Central Germany using Swiss-made diamond finish molds, CAPP Tips deliver precision you can feel and results you can rely on.
Let’s explore what actually makes them different and why that matters at the bench.
1. Low Retention That Protects Your Most Valuable Samples
Ever aspirated an expensive reagent only to see droplets clinging to the inside of the tip? That’s retention, and it directly affects yield, accuracy, and reproducibility.
CAPP EXPellPlus Low Retention Tips feature an ultra-smooth internal surface that minimizes liquid adhesion, allowing nearly complete sample delivery.
Manufactured from specially developed resins combined with a high-quality diamond finish mould, creating a super hydrophobic internal surface and ensuring maximum recovery of sample yield.
That means:
- Higher recovery from precious samples
- Better consistency in low-volume pipetting
- Less reagent waste
- More reproducible results
When your samples are irreplaceable, your tips should be too. Our low retention tips ensure that every drop counts. It has shown the best retention capacity in comparison to the top competitors in the industry.
2. Filter Tips That Guard Your Experiments
Contamination doesn’t always announce itself. It creeps in quietly through aerosols, carryover, or repeated pipetting cycles. CAPP Filter Tips create a physical barrier between your sample and your pipette shaft, preventing:
- Aerosol contamination
- Cross-sample carryover
- Damage to internal pipette components
If you’re working with nucleic acids, pathogens, volatile solvents, or clinical samples, filtered tips aren’t optional. They’re essential. And with CAPP, you don’t have to trade performance for protection.
3. Universal Compatibility
Loose seals cause leaks. Tight fits cause ejection problems. Both lead to inconsistent volumes and operator fatigue.
CAPP Pipette Tips feature optimized cone geometry, engineered to fit the wide range of pipette brands with:
- Secure sealing
- Smooth aspiration
- Effortless ejection
- Minimal loading force
Whether you’re using single-channel, multichannel, or automated pipettes, CAPP Tips deliver consistent performance across platforms.
4. Crystal Clear Graduation Marks for Faster & Safer Pipetting
In fast-paced lab environments, every second matters and so does every microliter.
CAPP Tips are crystal clear and equipped with graduation marks, allowing for:
- Quick visual volume checks
- Reduced pipetting errors
- Faster workflow confirmation
- Better confidence during aspiration and dispensing
It’s a small design detail that makes a big difference during long experiments.
5. Clean Manufacturing You Can Trust
If your work involves molecular biology, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical research, contamination control isn’t negotiable. CAPP Pipette Tips are:
- Manufactured in a clean-room, fully automated facility
- Made from USP Class VI certified polypropylene
- RNase, DNase, DNA, Pyrogen-free, and Endotoxin-free.
- Free from bioactive additives, softeners, slip agents, and biocides
In simple terms, nothing unwanted goes into your sample, and nothing from your sample compromises your next experiment.
6. A Portfolio That Fits Your Workflow
Every lab runs differently. AHN Biotechnologie GmbH gets that. Our premium portfolio includes:
- EXPellPlus Low Retention Tips.
- EXPell Standard Tips, Individually Wrapped Tips, and Filter Tips.
- Different packaging types, such as Bulk, Racked, Sterile, and Reload formats.
Whether you’re running high-throughput automation or careful manual assays, there’s a CAPP Tip configuration built for your workflow.
7. Sustainable by Design
Science shouldn’t cost the planet. CAPP’s EXPellPlus PaperBox cardboard racks are fully recyclable, reducing plastic waste without compromising sterility or performance.
When you’re done, simply flatten and recycle the rack — and turn daily lab consumables into a sustainability win. Better science. Lower footprint.
So, Is Your Pipette Tip Holding You Back?
Let’s recap. If your current tips are:
- Causing inconsistent volumes
- Retaining precious samples
- Increasing contamination risk
- Hurting your hands
- Limiting pipette compatibility
- Creating unnecessary waste
Then yes, your pipette tip may be the weak link. CAPP Pipette Tips are designed to eliminate these challenges.
With low retention performance, certified purity, universal compatibility, ergonomic design, and sustainable packaging, they upgrade not just your pipetting, but your entire workflow.
Final Thought: Precision Starts at the Point of Contact
Your pipette doesn’t touch your sample. Your tip does. And when every microliter counts, every contact point matters.
That’s exactly why CAPP Pipette Tips are engineered for scientists who refuse to compromise. With ultra-low retention surfaces, certified contaminant-free manufacturing, universal compatibility, effortless ejection, and sustainable packaging, they don’t just support accuracy; they protect it. So the next time results look off, don’t just recalibrate your pipette. Upgrade your tips.
Because in modern labs, precision doesn’t start with instruments. It starts with CAPP Pipette Tips, the point where accuracy begins.
