ART universal pipette tips
Tips that fit any pipette in your lab
Thermo Scientific ART tips have been a trusted tool in the lab for decades. Only ART tips have a self-sealing barrier that seals in aerosols and liquids, eliminating contamination of pipettes and sample cross-contamination during pipetting. ART tips are available in specialty and non-filtered varieties, making it easier than ever to find a tip for every application and virtually any brand of pipette in your lab. ART tips deliver the quality, performance, and reliability you expect.
- Low retention for maximum sample recovery
- Self-sealing barrier to completely block contamination
- Universal fit for virtually any brand of pipette
- ART barrier or non-filtered available

ClipTip pipette tips
Worry-free pipetting
Thermo Scientific ClipTip pipette tips lock firmly in place on F1-ClipTip manual pipettes and E1-ClipTip electronic pipettes. The tips feature “clips” that lock the tips in place with a light touch for a secure seal on every channel. Tips will not loosen or fall off and will only release when ejected using minimal application pressure, making daily pipetting a new experience.
- Low retention available in ClipTip 20-1250 96-format tips
- Certified free of RNase, DNase, DNA, ATP, and endotoxins
- Universal fit for virtually any brand of pipette
- Color-coded for easy identification
