5000–10000 µL Reservoir Pipet Tips — Oxford® Compatible, PP, Blue, 250/Bag (230-1097-B3K)
These 5000–10000 µL polypropylene reservoir tips are engineered as a direct replacement for Oxford® large-volume pipettors, supplied non-sterile in a convenient 250/Bag bulk format. The wide-bore reservoir tip body accommodates the full working range without restriction, ensuring accurate and consistent high-volume liquid delivery across clinical, research, and pharmaceutical workflows. Blue color coding follows the standard large-volume tip convention, allowing bench staff to identify the correct tip at a glance in multi-pipettor environments.

Applications
- High-volume reagent dispensing and bulk liquid transfers in clinical and research laboratories
- Serial dilutions requiring precise delivery in the 5000–10000 µL range
- Sample preparation and specimen processing workflows using Oxford® large-volume pipettors
- Transfer of viscous reagents and cell suspensions where a wide-bore reservoir tip body prevents obstruction and clogging
- High-throughput pharmaceutical and biotech workflows demanding consistent large-volume tip performance
Compatibility
These tips are designed as a drop-in replacement for Oxford® pipettors operating in the 5000–10000 µL range. The reservoir tip shaft profile matches the large-volume channel geometry of Oxford® instruments, providing a secure, accurate fit for routine large-volume pipetting. As always, confirm tip-to-cone dimensions against your specific Oxford® pipettor model when transitioning from OEM supply, since instrument families may include multiple volume-class models requiring different tip formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tips sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile in 250/Bag bulk packaging, which is appropriate for most high-volume clinical and research pipetting applications that do not require a sterility guarantee at the tip level.
What makes a reservoir tip different from a standard pipet tip?
A reservoir tip features a wide-bore body with an enlarged internal channel that prevents obstruction and clogging during high-volume transfers, making it particularly well suited for viscous reagents, cell suspensions, and bulk liquid dispensing in the 5000–10000 µL range.
Will these tips fit pipettors other than Oxford® models?
These tips are specifically designed to match the cone geometry of Oxford® large-volume pipettors. Compatibility with other brands in the same volume class has not been confirmed; verify tip-to-cone fit with your instrument before committing to a full supply switch.
Can polypropylene tips be autoclaved or used with organic solvents?
Polypropylene offers broad resistance to aqueous buffers, dilute acids and bases, and short-term contact with alcohols and acetonitrile. It is not recommended for aromatic or chlorinated solvents. PP can generally be autoclaved, though these tips are supplied non-sterile; consult your autoclave validation data before sterilizing bulk tips in-house.
