Definitions
- the invention relates to pipette tips with improved pipetting properties and a method for their production.
- Pipette tips or similar tools are often used for the defined absorption and distribution of liquids. With the help of these pipette tips, liquids can be removed from a storage container or defined amounts of liquid can be transferred from one container to another. In molecular biology, high throughput screening or combinatorial chemistry, smaller and smaller volumes are pipetted. For technical reasons, the pipette tips currently available on the market cannot pipette arbitrarily small volumes without contact, that is, with the liquid to be pipetted being detached completely and independently from the pipette tip. Technically, therefore, a pipette tip is desired with which volumes ⁇ 500 nl can be pipetted without contact.
- DE 2819440 describes a method in which liquid is conveyed to the dispensing nozzle from a storage container located above the dispensing nozzle via a hose line. Drops created at the opening are torn off by a pressure gas pulse. This method can also be used to tear off a drop of liquid from a pipette tip and has the advantage that the smallest drops can be applied to a surface. Disadvantages of the method are the poor reproducibility of the drop size and the fact that the pressure pulse can also force liquid out of the reaction vessel.
- DE 19742005 describes a method with which volumes of less than 100 nl can also be pressed from a thin capillary.
- the volume pressed out depends on the diameter of the capillary and the applied pressure pulse.
- the disadvantage of this method is, firstly, the very complex printing technology and the poor reproducibility of the drop size.
- DE 19742005 describes a further development of this method.
- the pressure for pressing out is generated electrically.
- the pressure pulse is generated by a piezo modulator mounted on the capillary.
- the advantage of this method is the improved reproducibility of the pulses and thus the drop size as well as the simple electrical control.
- the state of the art for these surfaces is that an aspect ratio of> 1 and a surface energy of less than 20 mN / m are required for such self-cleaning surfaces.
- the aspect ratio is defined as the quotient of the height and the width of the structure.
- the aforementioned criteria are realized in nature, for example in the lotus leaf.
- the surface of the plant formed from a hydrophobic wax-like material has elevations that are a few ⁇ m apart. Water drops essentially only come into contact with these tips. Such water-repellent surfaces have been widely described in the literature.
- CH-PS-268 258 describes a method in which structured surfaces are produced by applying powders such as kaolin, talc, clay or silica gel. The powders are fixed on the surface by oils and resins based on organosilicon compounds (Examples 1 to 6).
- EP 0 909 747 teaches a method for producing a self-cleaning surface.
- the surface has hydrophobic elevations with a height of 5 to 200 ⁇ m.
- Such a surface is produced by applying a dispersion of powder particles and an inert material in a siloxane solution and then curing. The structure-forming particles are thus fixed to the substrate by an auxiliary medium.
- WO 00/58410 comes to the conclusion that it is technically possible to make the surfaces of objects artificially self-cleaning.
- the surface structures of elevations and depressions required for this have a distance between the elevations of the surface structures in the range from 0.1 to 200 ⁇ m and a height of the elevation in the range 0.1 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the materials used for this must consist of hydrophobic polymers or permanently hydrophobized material. Detachment of the particles from the carrier matrix must be prevented.
- hydrophobic materials, such as perfluorinated polymers, for the production of hydrophobic surfaces is known. A further development of these surfaces consists in structuring the surfaces in the ⁇ m range to the nm range. US Pat. No.
- 5,599,489 discloses a method in which a surface can be given a particularly repellent finish by bombardment with particles of a corresponding size and subsequent perfluorination.
- Another method describes H. Saito et al. in "Service Coatings International", 4, 1997, p.168 ff.
- particles of fluoropolymers are applied to metal surfaces, with a greatly reduced wettability of the surfaces thus produced against water with a significantly reduced tendency to icing.
- WO 00/58410 describes the structures and claims the formation thereof by spraying on hydrophobic alcohols, such as nonacosan-10-ol or alkanediols, such as nonacosan-5,10-diol.
- hydrophobic alcohols such as nonacosan-10-ol or alkanediols, such as nonacosan-5,10-diol.
- the disadvantage here is the poor stability of the self-cleaning surfaces, since detergents lead to the dissolution of the structure.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide pipette tips with which liquids can be easily taken up and distributed without residue.
- the process should be so simple that the effect is achieved by simply modifying the surface of existing pipette tips.
- the present invention therefore relates to pipette tips, the surfaces of which come into contact with a liquid at least partially have structures from elevations, which are characterized in that the elevations are formed by particles firmly connected to the surface.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing pipette tips with surfaces that have all or part of the elevations, which is characterized in that a surface of the pipette tips that is dissolved by a solvent is treated with this solvent, the solvent undissolved particles contains, and after removal of the solvent, at least some of the particles are firmly connected to the surface of the pipette tips.
- the present invention also relates to pipettes which are characterized in that they have pipette tips according to at least one of claims 1 to 14.
- the present invention also relates to a pipetting device which has a pipette according to at least one of claims 27 to 29.
- the pipette tips according to the invention are much easier to manufacture than pipette tips with good draining behavior according to the prior art, which also have elevations.
- suitable particles for the production of the elevations it is not necessary to create the superficial elevations by molding. Rather, it is possible to subsequently equip commercially available pipette tips with good draining properties or to produce pipette tips in the usual manner and then to provide them with good draining properties.
- the pipette tips according to the invention also have the advantage that no liquids remain on the pipette tip during the pipetting (depending on the design, neither inside nor outside).
- the pipette tips according to the invention thus achieve the following advantages: can also be used with liquid quantities of less than 1 ⁇ l, no use of pressure pulses - no use of antimicrobial materials, no “carryover” of reaction media when, for example, pipette tips or capillary tips are immersed in liquids due to residues of these liquids, high volume accuracy high reproducibility
- the pipette tips according to the invention are distinguished by the fact that the elevations are formed by particles firmly connected to the surface.
- the at least partially present elevations on the surface of the pipette tip ensure that these surface areas are difficult to wet and that the liquids to be pipetted do not get caught on the pipette tip and thus falsify the pipetted volume.
- the pipette tips preferably have elevations with an average height of 50 nm to 25 ⁇ m and an average distance of 50 nm to 25 ⁇ m, preferably with an average height of 50 nm to 25 ⁇ m and / or an average distance of 50 nm to 25 ⁇ m and very particularly preferably with an average height of 50 nm to 4 ⁇ m and / or an average distance of 50 nm to 4 ⁇ m.
- the pipette tips according to the invention very particularly preferably have elevations with an average height of 0.25 to 1 ⁇ m and an average distance of 0.25 to 1 ⁇ m.
- the mean distance between the elevations is understood to mean the distance between the highest elevation of one elevation and the next highest elevation. If an elevation has the shape of a cone, the tip of the cone represents the highest elevation of the elevation. If the elevation is a cuboid, the top surface of the cuboid represents the highest elevation of the elevation.
- the wetting of solids can be described by the contact angle that a drop of water forms with the surface.
- a contact angle of 0 degrees means complete wetting of the surface.
- the wetting angle on fibers is measured in the
