Eppendorf epTIPS Biopur® Individually Wrapped and Sterile

Eppendorf epTIPS Biopur® Grade Individually Wrapped

Eppendorf epTIPS Biopur®. Supplied individually wrapped and sterile.

About the range

For epT.I.P.S. – the original Eppendorf "Totally Integrated Pipetting System" – the tips are optimally coordinated to Eppendorf pipettes and, of course, meet EN ISO 8655 requirements.

This has resulted in minimal attachment and ejection forces with the highest level of tightness. epT.I.P.S. pipette tips can be used with pipettes from other manufacturers.

Optimal wetting properties, high transparency and special, certified purity grades are the visible expression of this product and its production philosophy.

Eppendorf Biopur®

The advantages of this purity grade are obvious:

• Safety guaranteed, even for the most sophisticated applications
• Reduced costs - inconclusive, usually expensive tests no longer necessary

"Ready for use" products reduce labor and time required

Individually blistered consumables and “micro batches” in re-sealable boxes provide effective protection against soiling or contamination

Which requirements does Eppendorf Biopur® fulfill?

• Certified sterility: Each lot is sterilized by irradiation (in accordance with ISO 11137) or ethylene oxide gassing (in accordance with ISO 11135). Each lot of sterile products is tested for sterility. The testing procedures for sterility testing comply with the requirements of Ph.Eur. 2.6.1 (European Pharmacopeia) and USP (United States Pharmacopeia).
• Certified free of pyrogens: Each lot of Biopur products is tested for the absence of endotoxins and thus demonstrated as being free of pyrogens. In order to meet the international requirements for the absence of pyrogens, Eppendorf uses the kinetic-turbidimetric LAL test (Ph. Eur. 2.6.14).
• Certified free of RNases, DNases, PCR inhibitors
  
  • Testing each lot for the absence of DNase and RNase: Reaction buffers with one DNA or one RNA conductor are incubated at 37°C in the consumables for several hours. There must be no trace of DNA or RNA digestion.
  • Each lot is tested for the absence of PCR inhibitors in a separate PCR experiment against a standard reaction.
• Certified free of human and bacterial (E. coli) DNA
  
  • The absence of human and bacterial DNA is verified in each lot by PCR analysis. The detection limit is ≤2 pg DNA. This quantity is smaller than a single human cell
• Certified ATP-free
  
  • The test procedure for the quantitative and qualitative detection of ATP is already an integral part of hygiene monitoring, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Non ATP-free lab products would be indicated immediately in this very sensitive test.

Furthermore, all Eppendorf Biopur products fulfill the quality standards defined for our standard consumables. The requirements regarding wetting behavior, liquid tightness, accuracy, chemical resistance, etc. are met in full.

Only those consumables that have passed all the necessary tests shall be labeled “Biopur”, a quality seal which assures customers of the suitability of their Eppendorf consumables for direct use in experiments and analysis without the need for further treatment. Each lot is tested and certified by an external accredited laboratory as a matter of course.
