Paramount in this transfer &#8211; whether using hand-held single, multi-channel or electronic pipetters or using automated liquid handing instruments &#8211; is the issue of avoiding cross contamination and a resulting false positive or false negative result. This is where Porex\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.porex.cn\/markets\/analytical-sciences\/liquid-sample-handling\/\">pipette tip filters<\/a> come into play.&nbsp; The use of filtered or aerosol barrier pipette tips by the laboratory prevents contamination and the entry of infectious aerosols into samples and testing equipment &#8211; a requirement that is particularly critical in high-stakes disease pathogens such as COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new COVID-19 tests &#8211; approved under the\nFDA\u2019s Emergency Use Authorization \u2013 utilizes a type of PCR technology\n(polymerase chain-reaction) that measures RNA rather than DNA.&nbsp;These\nassays detect the presence of COVID-19 in RNA purified from patient samples. In\nthis process, only pipette tips with filters or aerosol barrier pipette tips\nare mandated for use in order to reduce the risk of aerosol-related\ncontamination. In situations where the test\nresults are being used to detect the presence of pathogens as well as COVID-19,\nfalse readings can cause immense damage. If the original sample becomes tainted\nin any way, all the subsequent copies will also be inaccurate, potentially\nleading to an incorrect diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porex has been manufacturing filters for aerosol barrier pipette tips for over 25 years and is the leading global supplier backed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.porex.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Porex-Datasheet-Certified-Pure-Porex-Program.pdf\">CERTIFIED PURE POREX\u00ae program<\/a> of third-party independent laboratory testing. Our pipette tip filters are used by leading instrument, assay, diagnostic and analytical manufacturers around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m proud to say that our POREX\u00ae pipette\ntip filters make the world safer, healthier and more productive by setting a\nnew standard of purity in protecting COVID-19 patient samples from aerosol\ncross contamination and sample carryover.&nbsp;\nOur filters help to ensure more reliable and accurate test results for thousands\nof people relying on these tests around the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 27, 2020<\/p>\n<p>POREX aerosol barrier pipette tip filters are required for all laboratory tests for COVID-19.
