Technical Narrative
The Caplugs® Evergreen 230-1022-02K provides BBL® Fibrometer Pipet Tips in LDPE (Natural), 1000/Bag. These tips are designed for use with the BBL Fibrometer instrument's pipet assembly for dispensing patient plasma and reagents into the Protime Cups during coagulation testing. LDPE construction provides the flexibility required for the Fibrometer pipet mechanism and low-extraction compatibility with clinical plasma samples.
LDPE: flexible for Fibrometer pipet mechanism, low extractables for plasma compatibility. Non-Sterile. BPA-free, FDA-compliant,
Procurement economics: $160.65/Bag (1000 tips), $0.1607/tip. Companion: 230-1021-020 (BBL® Fibrometer Protime Cups HDPE 2000/Bag). LabSupplies.com ships from USA inventory, typically same business day.

BBL® Fibrometer Pipet Tip Applications
The LDPE tip is used with the BBL Fibrometer instrument pipet assembly.
| Application | Setting / Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma sample dispensing | Fibrometer pipet, plasma aspirate and dispense | LDPE flexible tip for Fibrometer pipet mechanism |
| Thromboplastin dispensing | PT reagent into Fibrometer cup | Single-use tip eliminates carryover between patient samples |
| APTT reagent dispensing | Partial thromboplastin time reagent | LDPE: compatible with standard coagulation reagents |
| CaCl2 dispensing | Calcium chloride recalcification reagent | LDPE resistant to calcium chloride solution |
| Reference plasma dispensing | Normal and abnormal control plasma | Single-use for inter-sample contamination control |
| Daily instrument startup | Fibrometer reagent line prime | 1000/Bag: adequate supply for high-volume coagulation lab |
| Coagulation factor assays | Diluted plasma series dispensing | LDPE tip for small-volume serial dilution |

Clinical & Research Laboratory Applications
Caplugs® Evergreen BBL® Fibrometer Pipet Tips serve clinical coagulation laboratories as the disposable pipet tip for the BBL Fibrometer instrument's sample and reagent dispensing pipet. Single-use disposable tips are essential in coagulation testing to prevent carryover between patient samples — a critical requirement in PT/INR monitoring where sample-to-sample contamination could affect dosing decisions for anticoagulant therapy. The LDPE material provides the flexibility required by the Fibrometer's spring-loaded pipet mechanism for reliable aspiration and delivery of small plasma volumes. In a busy coagulation laboratory processing 100–300 PT/INR tests per shift, the 1000/Bag format ensures continuous operation without supply interruption. Single-use LDPE tips eliminate inter-sample carryover, protecting the integrity of every coagulation result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Fibrometer Pipet Tips sterile?
No. Non-Sterile — the BBL Fibrometer test does not require sterile tips.
Are these tips compatible with all BBL Fibrometer models?
The Caplugs® Evergreen LDPE tips are manufactured as compatible replacements for the BBL Fibrometer instrument's pipet. Verify dimensional compatibility (tip OD, taper, length) with your specific Fibrometer model before substituting from OEM supply.
Why are Fibrometer tips made of LDPE rather than the PP used for standard pipet tips?
LDPE provides the flexibility required by the BBL Fibrometer's spring-loaded pipet mechanism — the soft LDPE tip compresses slightly to form a seal against the pipet cone and ejects cleanly under the instrument's ejection spring force. Standard PP tips are stiffer and may not provide reliable seal or ejection in the Fibrometer mechanism.
