FAQ

QuestionAnswer
What protocols are available for ZipTip Pipette Tips?Applications work to-date has focused on sample preparation prior to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and direct injection electrospray/nanospray mass spectrometry.

Protocols are available for the following:
  • Sample Preparation of Peptides or Proteins Prior to MALDI-TOF MS Using ZipTipC18, ZipTipµ-C18 and ZipTipC4 Pipette Tips (TN224) Sample Preparation of Peptides or Proteins Prior to Electrospray / Nanospray MS Using ZipTipC18, ZipTipµ-C18 and ZipTipC4 Pipette Tips (TN072)
  • Fractionation of Complex Peptide or Protein Mixtures Prior to MALDI-TOF MS Using ZipTipC18, ZipTipµ-C18 and ZipTipC4 Pipette Tips (TN226)
  • Sample Preparation of Oligonucleotides Prior to MALDI-TOF MS Using ZipTipC18, ZipTipµ-C18 Pipette Tips (TN225)
  • Enrichment of Phosphopeptides Before MALDI-TOF and Nanoelectrospray MS using ZipTipMC Pipette Tips (TN228)
  • Purification of Radiolabled Oligonucleotides using ZipTipC18 Pipette Tips (TN230) Peptide Sample
  • Preparation Prior to MALDI-TOF and Electrospray MS using ZipTipSCX Pipette Tips (TN233)
What is the binding capacity of ZipTipC18, ZipTipµ-C18 and ZipTipC4?
ZipTip Capacity: (when used with saturating amounts of analyte)
ZipTipC18greater than or equal to 1 µg. Typically 5.0 µg
ZipTipµ-C18Typically 3.3 µg
ZipTipC4greater than or equal to 0.5 µg. Typically 3.3 µg
  >
C18 is offered in two bed volumes:
ZipTipC18a standard bed of 0.6 µL for sample elution in 1 to 4 µL
ZipTipµ-C18a micro bed of 0.2 µL for sample elution in < 1 µL.
What are the sample elution volumes from ZipTip?Elution volumes for standard bed volume ZipTip pipette tips are typically 1-4µl.
ZipTipµ-C18 tips have an elution volume of < 1 µl.
When would I need to use a chaotropic agent to enhance binding of my sample to ZipTipC4?A chaotropic agent, such as Guanidine HCL (1-4M) which enhances adsorption, should be included in the sample anytime peptide or protein solubility is an issue.
Which single channel and multichannel pipettes are compatible with ZipTip?ZipTip is compatible with most single channel pipettes that accommodate 10 ml pipette tips. The Biohit Proline® multi-channel pipette from is recommended for 8 channel sample processing.

Proline is a registered trademark of Biohit Oy.

What is the ZipTip pipette tip material of construction?The actual pipette tip is constructed of polypropylene
What types of resins are available in ZipTip pipette tips?ZipTip pipette tips are currently available with the following resins: C18, C4, and SCX.
What are the specifications of the C18 in ZipTipC18 and ZipTipµ-C18 pipette tips?C18 spherical silica, 15 µm, 200Å pore size
C18 is offered in two bed volumes:
ZipTipC18 -- a standard bed of 0.6 µl for sample elution in 1 to 4 µl.
ZipTipµ-C18 -- a micro bed of 0.2 µl for sample elution in < 1 µl.
Which ZipTip is best for processing my sample?ZipTipC18 for desalting oligonucleotides and low molecular weight proteins and peptides (up to 50,000 Da). Final sample elution in 1-4 µl
ZipTipm-C18 for desalting oligonucleotides and low molecular weight proteins and peptides ( up to 50,000 Da). Final Sample elution in <1 ml
ZipTipC4 for desalting low to intermediate molecular weight proteins (3,000 - 100,000 Da). Final sample elution in 1-4 µl.
