Vacuum Plasma Treatment for Pipette Tips

Vacuum Plasma Treatment for Pipette Tips

One of the key features of vacuum plasma pipette tips is the use of plasma treatment. Plasma treatment involves exposing the pipette tips to a high-energy plasma, which modifies the surface chemistry of the tip. This process improves the wettability of the tip, making it easier for the liquid to be drawn up into the pipette tip and to be dispensed accurately.

In addition to plasma treatment, vacuum plasma pipette tips may also be treated with other coatings to further enhance their performance. For example, some tips may be coated with hydrophilic where a particular liquid needs to be drawn rapidly and completely throughout the pipette tips or hydrophobic coatings where the liquid inside the pipette tips needs to be completely emptied to minimuse the loss due to the residual liquid.
