Low Retention simply indicates that the tip has been altered to improve the recovery of sample volume. This is good, but Low Binding Technology, available only from Sorenson, improves the recovery of molecules! Low binding tips not only facilitate volume recovery, but the surface discourages the binding of DNA and protein molecules with the surface of the tips.
