PureTIP One
Automated plasma cleaning that enables high-throughput pipette tip reuse
Discover The Next Step In Plastic Labware Reuse
High-throughput labs invest in automation to remove bottlenecks, reduce variability, and scale reliably. Tip consumption is one of the last remaining linear systems inside a highly automated environment.
With fully automated cleaning up to 70 racks/hour, PureTIP One fits where it belongs: as infrastructure that keeps your lab moving.
If the modern lab is defined by closed-loop workflows, tip reuse isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the next logical step.
How Does Plasma Cleaning Work?
Automation
Most high-throughput environments run on a simple principle: minimize human touch. Every manual handoff introduces risk, contamination, operator variability, and delay. Automation is the only reliable way to scale.
But tip usage has historically lived outside that model. Tips arrive, they’re staged, used once, and discarded. It’s a linear system, high volume in, high volume out.
PureTIP One changes that model to circular. Used racks become input, and cleaned racks return as usable inventory. With an open API, PureTIP One can be integrated directly into existing automation workflows, allowing labs to control and coordinate cleaning alongside their current systems. For teams looking to move faster, turnkey automation solutions are available through our automation partner, delivering a fully integrated, end-to-end process. When cleaning is automated at this level, tip reuse stops being “a program” and becomes a background utility, like plate sealing or barcode scanning.
