pipettipää

Pipettipää is a Finnish term that translates to "pipette tip" in English. It refers to the disposable plastic cone that is attached to the end of a pipette. Pipette tips are essential laboratory consumables used in conjunction with pipettes to accurately measure and transfer small volumes of liquids. They are designed to be sterile and inert, preventing contamination of the sample and the pipette itself. Pipette tips come in various sizes and volumes, ranging from micro-liter to milli-liter capacities, to accommodate different experimental needs. They are also available in different materials, such as polypropylene, and with specific features like filter inserts to prevent aerosol contamination or extended lengths for reaching into narrow containers. The proper selection and handling of pipette tips are crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of laboratory experiments. Used pipette tips are typically disposed of after a single use to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination between samples.
