MTC Bio P5710 Microinjection Pipette Tips
MTC Bio P5710 Microinjection Pipette Tips are sterile, ultra-fine microcapillary pipette tips designed for filling glass microinjection capillaries and transferring very small liquid volumes with precision. With a 0.33 mm diameter tip and 0.5–20 µL capacity, they are particularly suited to cell injection, molecular biology, genetics research, virology and gel loading applications.
The flexible microcapillary tip can be used to back-load Femtotips® and other glass microinjection capillaries while helping minimize bubbles during small-volume liquid transfer.
