Description
Rainin™ Ready-Stand™ LTS Filtered Pipette Tips, 200 µL (17005859) – Double-Rack Case of 960 Tips
The Rainin™ 17005859 is a premium, high-purity liquid handling consumable engineered exclusively for Mettler-Toledo Rainin pipettes equipped with the proprietary LiteTouch™ System (LTS). Featuring a 200 µL maximum volume capacity, these tips utilize an advanced hydrophobic aerosol barrier filter that provides a complete physical boundary to prevent sample carryover, nucleic acid cross-contamination, and vapor ingress into the pipette shaft. Supplied as a unique high-density logistics case containing 5 double-stacked racks of 192 tips each (yielding a total of 960 tips per case), this sterile, space-saving layout is optimized for high-throughput genotyping, PCR setups, RNA processing loops, and multi-channel workflow environments.
Technical Performance & Design
- Proprietary Rainin LTS Compatibility: Specifically engineered to fit the unique cylindrical shaft and positive-stop shelf of Rainin LTS pipettes. This design achieves a perfect, airtight seal with minimal insertion force and uniform ejector resistance, drastically reducing physical thumb strain and repetitive strain injuries (RSI) across long processing loops.
- Tortuous-Path Aerosol Barrier: Integrated with a pre-installed, inert hydrophobic filter matrix that blocks airborne micro-droplets and aerosols. This ensures zero sample carryover during high-velocity pipetting steps, maintaining absolute sample-to-sample purity across sensitive genetic screens.
- Double-Rack High-Density Framework: Arranged in an innovative, vertical double-layered rack geometry containing 192 tips per stable footprint. This halves the benchtop space required compared to traditional single-tier 96-tip containers and speeds up multi-channel microtiter indexing.
- Bio-Clean Ultra Certification: Manufactured in a fully automated Class 100,000 cleanroom environment using premium, un-pigmented virgin polypropylene. Tips are certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, human DNA, endotoxins, pyrogens, and trace chemical lubricants.

Key Benefits & Applications
- PCR Staging and Genomics Assays: Essential for cleanroom master mix distribution, qPCR assays, and RNA extraction arrays where even micrometer-level crossover contamination can yield false-positive readouts.
- High-Density Multi-Channel Pipetting: The low-force LTS alignment combined with a rigid, stable double-rack base allows 8- and 12-channel pipettors to tap and snap tips cleanly without rack wobble or uneven tip pickup.
- Tissue Culture and Viral Processing: Provides an absolute protective barrier when aliquoting viral vectors, primary cell suspension media, or hazardous biological reagents, ensuring long-term pipette safety.
- **Vivarium Diagnostic and Forensic Assays:** Offers consistent, low-force fluid tracking for processing diagnostic blood sheets, tissue harvests, and metabolic biomarkers with uncompromised precision.

Rainin™, LTS™, LiteTouch™, and Bio-Clean Ultra™ are registered commercial trademarks of Mettler-Toledo Rainin, LLC. Catalog number 17005859 specifies the pre-sterilized 200 µL filtered double-rack configuration. For high-volume organic solvents or low-surface-tension proteins where surface cling must be mitigated, companion Low-Retention (L) or Wide-Orifice (W) variants should be substituted inside the inventory system.
