Abstract: An exchangeable pipette tip, wherein the pipette tip extends along a channel axis, wherein the channel axis defines an axial direction running along the channel axis, radial directions orthogonal with respect to the channel axis, and a circumferential direction encircling the channel axis, wherein the pipette tip, at one axial longitudinal end thereof forming a coupling longitudinal end, has a coupling formation which is designed for coupling to a counterpart coupling formation of a pipette device, wherein the pipette tip, at the longitudinal end thereof situated axially opposite the coupling longitudinal end and forming a dosing longitudinal end, has a pipette opening that is communicatively connected to a receiving space designed for receiving liquid that is to be dosed, wherein the receiving space of the pipette tip is designed to taper toward the pipette opening, wherein at least one axial portion of the receiving space is concave and forms a concave axial portion, such that an inner wall of the pipette t

Abstract: A dental implant made of a ceramic material including an implant surface having at least partially a contact angle of less than 20°, the implant surface being at least partially covered by a protective layer. The protective layer includes a dextran having a molecular weight of more than 15,000 Da.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a sterilized ceramic body including or essentially consisting of stabilized zirconia of a defined colour, including the steps of: providing a ceramic primary body including or essentially consisting of stabilized zirconia of a first colour A, and sterilizing the primary body using radiation sterilization whereby the primary body undergoes a colour change to a colour B. The process includes the further step of irradiating the sterilized primary body with electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength lying in the wavelength band ranging from 150 nm to 700 nm to induce an at least partial reversal of the colour change to obtain a colour C of the sterilized ceramic body, the colour C complying with the following requirements in the CIELAB colour space: L* being from 54 to 95, a* being from ?15 to 15 and b* being from ?15 to 15.
