Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NICHIRYO from 3G Electric.
Are NICHIRYO pipette tips autoclavable?
Yes, NICHIRYO pipette tips are autoclavable. The tips are made from polypropylene, a material that withstands standard autoclave cycles (typically 121°C at 15 psi for 15–20 minutes). This allows users to sterilize the tips in-house if required, rather than purchasing pre-sterilized tips. The autoclavable property is specified for the non-sterile bulk bag configurations, so you can achieve sterility through your facility's autoclave process.
What volume capacities are available for NICHIRYO pipette tips?
NICHIRYO pipette tips are available in capacities including 5,000 µL and 10,000 µL, as indicated by product models BMT-X and BMT-Z respectively. These volumes cover medium- to high-volume pipetting tasks. The tips are designed for use with NICHIRYO micropipettors and are supplied in bulk bags of 200 tips per bag. Additional capacity options may exist within the NICHIRYO product line, but these two are commonly stocked.
What is the difference between NICHIRYO multichannel pipettors and single-channel pipettors?
NICHIRYO multichannel pipettors, such as the 8-channel model (MPN 00-NPL-5000), allow simultaneous pipetting of multiple samples, increasing throughput in applications like plate-based assays or batch liquid transfers. They are manual adjustable-volume pipettors with a maximum capacity of 5,000 µL and 10 µL volume increments. Single-channel pipettors handle one sample at a time. Both types are autoclavable and constructed for repeated use. The multichannel design reduces repetitive motion and speeds up processing when handling multiple wells or tubes.
Are NICHIRYO pipette tips filtered or non-filtered?
NICHIRYO pipette tips supplied by 3G Electric are non-filtered. The product specifications for models BMT-X and BMT-Z indicate 'No Filter' in their configuration. These tips are suitable for general liquid handling where aerosol contamination is not a primary concern. For applications requiring filtered tips to prevent aerosol carryover, you would need to source filtered tips from other manufacturers or NICHIRYO filtered product lines, which are not listed in the current inventory.
What material are NICHIRYO pipette tips made from?
NICHIRYO pipette tips are made from polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer known for its chemical resistance, low binding affinity for biomolecules, and ability to withstand autoclaving. The tips are clear, allowing visual inspection of liquid levels during pipetting. Polypropylene is also lightweight and durable, making it suitable for single-use or reusable applications after proper cleaning and sterilization.
