The Hektros TipCube

Fully automated pipette tip filling machine

Stop spending valuable laboratory time manually preparing pipette tip racks. The Hektros TipCube is a fully automated pipette tip filling machine that refills reusable TipBoxes with affordable bulk pipette tips in just minutes. Designed to simplify tip handling, lower consumable costs, and reduce plastic waste, the TipCube helps laboratories create more efficient and sustainable workflows.

Automated Tip Handling

Streamline pipette tip preparation with automation

The TipCube provides a practical alternative to manual tip refilling and expensive prefilled tip racks by combining automation, flexibility, and sustainability in a compact system.

With a high-capacity drum holding over 1,000 pipette tips, the TipCube automatically refills reusable TipBoxes with minimal operator involvement. Simply load the bulk tips, place the TipBoxes or adapters, and start the filling process.

Its intuitive touchscreen interface and LED status indicators make operation simple, while the compact design integrates easily into existing laboratory workflows.

By improving efficiency, optimizing consumable usage, and reducing plastic waste, the TipCube offers a reliable and scalable solution for modern laboratories.

Increase productivity while reducing costs

Manual pipette tip preparation can be time-consuming and inconsistent, while prefilled tip racks often increase consumable expenses and generate additional plastic waste.

The TipCube combines the convenience of automated rack preparation with the cost advantages of bulk pipette tips, helping laboratories improve daily operations while making better use of their resources.

Compared to traditional methods, laboratories can benefit from:

  • Reduced labour requirements
  • Lower consumable costs
  • Less plastic waste
  • Improved workflow consistency
  • Better use of laboratory personnel
