Filter tips are being marketed that have more space between the sample and the filter than conventional filter tips.

The new SafetySpace filter tips provide better accuracy and safety in pipetting. The user does not need to worry about the sample touching the filter regardless of the pipetting technique or type of liquid being handled. When using SafetySpace filter tips it is possible to achieve accurate and precise results even with foaming liquids such as buffers and proteins. Unlike other filter tips, SafetySpace filter tips are also suitable for reverse pipetting as well as for multiple dispensing with electronic pipettes.
