IonField - Model PureTIP Plus -Standalone System (SaS)

IonField’s new standalone tip cleaning system, originally designed to upcycle the 1 mL filter tips, takes plastic reuse to the next level by using a continuous pull of plasma up through the tip which makes it more powerful than the current PureTIP LHC due to increased plasma energy density.

What was the driver to find an upcycling solution for filtered tips?

IonField received NIH funding for the development of a product to clean filter pipettes used for COVID-19 testing.
We enhanced our plasma technology to clean filtered pipette tips in global short supply and the availability of other tips experiencing concurrent supply chain disruption.
Recent iterations of the prototype expand PureTIP SaS to small volume tips and spin tips, with a wide range of related uses in development.

How Does PureTIP SaS clean filtered tips?

Pipette tips are lowered into the plasma gas.
Then plasma is pulled through the tip and filter continuously.
Maximum plasma intensity is achieved in a few seconds, as the tip fills with pure plasma.

Currently cleaning to background, which is defined as 42 cts at the site, running with RNA standard plates and gamma-irradiated Covid-19 RNA plates.
The focus of our testing = 1 mL filtered conductive tips from Hamilton. Lower-volume tips would require less time exposure to the plasma.
The lab we’re working with transfers 800 uL with that tip, so virtually all of the interior surface of the tip is contaminated with residual fluid.
With qPCR testing to about 60 copies at background – a high bar for testing.
The samples tested were an RNA standard routinely used and some gamma-irradiated SAR-CoV-2 RNA.
