INTip™ Filtration

INTip Filtration utilizes a patent-pending Tip-on-Tip technology designed to promote the simplification and automation of complex sample preparation for a variety of applications.

ToT Filtration

ToT Filtration combines a conductive wide bore top tip with a bottom Filtration tip to provide an automated alternative to traditional filtration/centrifugation. This methodology is ideal for high-throughput protein precipitation and filtration, beta-glucuronidase enzyme removal, or any other particulate removal, like cannabis solvent extract. Filtration tips can be ordered in low porosity, dual phase or single phase varieties.

This methodology is ideal for the cleanup of viscous matrices not compatible with XTR tips. ToT cleanup is compatible with a variety of sorbent chemistries to remove particulates and matrix interferents. The ToT Cleanup method can utilize single phase or low porosity filtration tips.

Advantages:
  • Uses Filtration tip + sorbent for cleanup
  • Cleanup for viscous matrices like cell lysates
  • Customer can provide their own sorbent
  • Compatible with a variety of sorbent chemistries
  • Easy to automate and easy to implement

• ToT SPE Method Workflow

Tip-on-Tip Solid Phase Extraction provides a fast, automated INTip solution for a variety of applications including immunoaffinity. ToT SPE is ideal for applications that require specific incubation conditions between sorbent and sample solution.

ToT SPE utilizes a bottom Single Phase Filtration tip with a disperser. The disperser provides optimal dispersive solid phase extraction conditions. This tip has two frit options available: A low retention 50 μm frit and 30 μm frit.
