In automated systems, pipette tips are often made of conductive polymer materials, enabling the tip to sense the liquid and accurately measure the correct amount of liquid being transferred. Conductive pipette tips must meet demanding performance criteria and therefore require a polymer solution with a unique, and often difficult to achieve, blend of properties. Working together, we can help you arrive at an optimal solution with speed and accuracy, while helping to lower product development and manufacturing costs.

Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), with 2022 pro forma revenues of $3.7 billion, provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.
