Quick Answer: A pipette tips box is a lidded box with a perforated rack that holds disposable micropipette tips upright in a grid. The pipette is pressed straight into a tip, so tips are fitted without being touched and stay covered between uses.

Why Tips Are Racked, Not Loose

Tips bought loose in a bag must be picked up by hand and pushed onto the pipette, which transfers skin oils, dust and nucleases to the part that touches the sample. Racked in a box, each tip stands open end up; the pipette nozzle is lowered into it and pressed home. The lid keeps the remaining tips clean, and the rack holds them at an even height so the fit is consistent.

The title does not give the number of positions, the tip size or the material, and the listing image is not available. Many tips boxes use a 96-position layout in an 8 by 12 grid, which also suits multichannel pipettes, and each box is made for a particular tip size, so confirm that it matches your tips. Polypropylene boxes are generally autoclavable, which allows tips to be sterilised in the rack.

Plain micropipette tips bought in bulk can be refilled into the box by gloved hand and then autoclaved. A reagent reservoir completes the set-up for multichannel work.

Care & Handling

Refill wearing clean gloves, touching tips only on the outside of the wide end, and close the lid straight away.
Autoclave with the lid closed but not tightly latched, if the design allows, and let the box dry before use.
Label boxes by tip size and by whether they are sterile.

Applications

Keeping tips ready at each student’s micropipette station
Sterilising tips for microbiology or molecular biology work
Loading eight or twelve tips at once onto a multichannel pipette
Refilling from bulk bags to cut down on plastic waste from pre-racked boxes

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I refill a tips box with loose tips?

Yes. Wearing clean gloves, place the tips into the rack wide end up, or use a refill system if your tip supplier offers one, then close the lid. Autoclave the refilled box if sterile tips are needed.

Is the box autoclavable?

Polypropylene boxes are generally autoclavable at 121 °C. The material is not stated in the listing, so confirm it before sterilising; boxes made of polystyrene or polycarbonate may warp or crack.

Will the box fit every tip size?

No. Racks are made for particular tip sizes, since a 10 µl tip is far narrower than a 1000 µl tip. Match the box to the tips you use.

Why use a racked box with a multichannel pipette?

The grid spacing matches the spacing of the multichannel nozzles, so eight or twelve tips are picked up in one press. Loose tips cannot be loaded this way.

How do I stop the tips becoming contaminated?

Open the box only to pick up a tip, never touch the tips with bare hands, and close the lid between uses. Discard any tip that has fallen out or been touched.
