Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Sorenson BioScience 200 µL LTS-Compatible Low Retention Barrier Pipette Tip (Cat # 87950T) — a LIGHT LABS exclusive low retention version of the Sorenson 87950, combining LTS compatibility for Rainin LiteTouch™ pipettors with low retention surface technology for reduced sample adsorption and maximum sample recovery in the 200 µL tip format. The 87950T is available exclusively through LIGHT LABS — making it a unique offering for Rainin LiteTouch™ pipettor users who require low retention performance in an LTS-compatible barrier tip at the 200 µL volume.
The LTS (LiteTouch System) design of the 87950T is specifically engineered with the precise geometry required to seal effortlessly onto Rainin LiteTouch™ pipettor nozzles — requiring significantly less insertion and ejection force than universal tips. This ergonomic advantage is especially impactful at the 200 µL scale, where 200 µL LTS tips are among the most frequently used tip sizes in routine laboratory workflows and where repetitive pipetting fatigue from conventional universal tips accumulates rapidly. The 87950T is additionally compatible with the Sequence BioTech 96-channel Benchtop Pipettor — broadening its utility to high-throughput automated 96-well pipetting applications.
The inert polyethylene (PE) barrier filter prevents aerosols and liquids from entering and contaminating the pipettor — without trapping liquid or shedding particulates into the sample. Graduation lines provide quick accuracy checks during pipetting. The fine point delivery system ensures crisp, precise sample dispensing. The low retention surface treatment of the 87950T minimizes non-specific adsorption of DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other precious biological samples to the tip wall — a critical advantage for high-value or limiting samples in the 200 µL volume range. MultiRack format: 96 tips per rack, 10 racks per pack, 5 packs per case (4,800 tips total). LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for Sorenson BioScience pipette tips.
