MAXYMum Recovery
In 1999, as a result of two years of research, Axygen introduced a totally unique method of changing the composition of the virgin polypropylene resins used to manufacture it’s products. The result is a group of products referred to as MAXYMum Recovery. These include pipet tips, robotic tips that compatible with popular automated liquid handling systems, PCR tubes and strips, microtubes, and high throughput screening (HTS) consumables. MAXYMum Recovery is also available for our filtered product lines: filter barrier pipet tips and filter barrier robotic tips. MAXYMum Recovery products inhibit DNA, protein, enzyme or peptide samples from sticking to their wall surface, and as a result virtually eliminate sample denaturation.
