As a high-volume manufacturer of laboratory consumable components, Bio-Pore understands the billionth part is just as important as the first part. Bio-Pore produced more than one billion pipette filters just during the Covid19 pandemic, providing a key component for global liquid handling companies and critical research.

During that emergency period, a major liquid handling manufacturer contacted Bio-Pore urgently requiring pipette tip filters for multiple manual and automated tip sizes. Project requirements included the capability to provide unit volumes in the hundreds of millions, tight dimensional tolerances on diameter, length, porosity as well as strict cleanliness and packaging.

Leveraging Bio-Pore’s unique tooling platform and extensive experience, production ready filter samples were produced within weeks. Fast-tracking the prototype stage allowed our customer to face the unprecedented surge in demand for filtered pipettes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
