What ID is the tubing that comes with the eVOLVER? ---

Can the tubes be autoclaved between experiments for sterility? Or do you recommend flushing them out? ---

Question about the pipette tips- we have LTS pipettors. Will [these tips](https://www.mt.com/ca/en/home/products/pipettes/bioclean-pipette-tip/packaging/racks/RT-LTS-A-250-X-768-8.html) work? - I’m worried the OD is too wide (says the tips fit through 8mm ID septa holes). The sampling port is only ~4.4mm in diameter. - I’m a little confused here, as the LTS pipette tips have a similar length and volume to the universal FisherBrand ones you have recommended, suggesting their diameter should be similar. - Would you recommend buying these pipette tips? ---

I’m not familiar with the Rainin tips/pipettes so I don’t have a specific recommendation here. Maybe someone else might have more experience. ---

Hi there, Did you try these tips you mentioned? Can they pass through the sampling holes with ~4.4mm in diameter? Thanks.
