The epT.I.P.S. Motion in SafeRacks are intended for multiple use. If you use the pipette tips in an
application, use epT.I.P.S. Motion SafeRacks, for example, to remove buffers in several washing steps.
epT.I.P.S. Motion SafeRacks have a partition to separate pipette tips. During an application, used pipette tip
are returned to the SafeRack. A partition prevents residual liquid from contaminating adjacent pipette tips.
Contamination of samples due to repeated use is prevented because the software permanently allocates the
pipette tips within a specific application to a source vessel.
In the software, you can set whether pipette tips should be used multiple times (refer to epMotion software
operating manual).
Tab. 7-6: epT.I.P.S. Motion SafeRacks are available in the following sizes:
Tab. 7-7: epT.I.P.S. Motion SafeRacks are available in the following purity grades:
NOTICE! Contamination due to using incorrect pipette tips.
The optical sensor does not detect if the pipette tips on the worktable are intended for single
use (epT.I.P.S. Motion Rack, epT.I.P.S. Motion Reload) or multiple use (epT.I.P.S. Motion
SafeRack).
 If the pipette tips will be used several times, equip the entire worktable with epT.I.P.S.
Motion SafeRacks.
Use epT.I.P.S. Motion SafeRacks for a maximum of 6 usage cycles. A usage cycle consists of
aspiration, dispensing and ejecting the tip.
