proven specialists in
The PP-550-XH is an extended height
version of the PP-550-4S specifically
designed to accommodate solid phase
extraction (SPE) labware or filtration
plates, e.g. a vacuum manifold and a
96 well SPE plate (96 minicolumns) or
an Acrowell 96 well plate.
The PP-550-XD is an extended depth
version of the PP-550-4S specifically
designed to enable serial dilution by
both column or by rows in a 96 well
plate.
The Wallac PreciseTip from
PerkinElmer Life Sciences is a
disposable pipette tip fully compatible
with QUADRA 96® instruments and
with Apricot Personal Pipettors.
Superior grade polypropylene
presents a strongly hydrophobic
surface which prevents drop
formation. The complete and accurate
dispensing obtained improves CV
performance, providing greater
precision and reproducibility.
Packaged as “dovetailed” pairs of 96tip holders to save lab space, the
Wallac PreciseTip offers efficient
storage. Optional AeroShield® sample
barrier filter helps protect the
dispensing head and prevent crosscontamination of samples. Tips are
also available radiation sterilized. The
PreciseTip’s narrow tip orifice
accommodates both 96- and 384-well
plates.

For over a decade Apricot Designs
has provided liquid handling
products to many satisfied
researchers at major
pharmaceutical and biotech
companies. The company has
always worked closely with its
customers to ensure that new
products reflect the latest
demands. This is why Apricot
Designs were first on the market
with unique 384-channel pipettors
which not only work with 384 and
1536-well labware, but can also
pipette 96-well labware.
Alongside our standard products,
we also provide custom design,
consultation, manufacturing and/or
