Table 1: Compatibility Matrix of current CO-RE and CO-RE II technology.
All CO-RE II tips include a new sealing surface to interface with the CO-RE II stop disk. Geometry that interfaces with the current CO-RE stop disk is identical between the two tip designs and performance remains unaffected. Stop Disk Current CO-RE stop disks compress an o-ring to retain the tip to the pipetting channel and to create a seal. CO-RE II stop disks decouple sealing and tip retention functionality to improve longevity and durability of the o-ring and stop disk assembly.
