Micropipettes – High-Precision Variable Volume Liquid Handling Pipettes
Micropipettes provide an essential benchtop liquid handling solution for precise quantitative dispensing, serial dilutions, sample transfer, and biochemical assay preparation. Featuring an lightweight, ergonomic design, these pipettes minimize hand fatigue during repetitive pipetting cycles while maintaining exceptional volumetric accuracy and precision. The unit incorporates a clear digital volume indicator (micrometer window) for easy volume setting and an integrated tip ejector mechanism compatible with standard universal micropipette tips. Built from chemically resistant, autoclavable materials, micropipettes protect internal piston components against aggressive reagents and cross-contamination across clinical, diagnostic, and academic research workflows throughout Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
Molecular Biology & Diagnostics: Ideal for precise loading of PCR master mixes, DNA/RNA samples, enzyme buffers, and cell culture media.
-
Clinical Pathology & Biochemistry: Essential for dispensing serum, plasma, reagents, and standards in diagnostic testing kits and ELISA assays.
-
Analytical & Chemical Prep: Suited for preparing precise serial dilutions, micro-volume titrations, and reference standard solutions.
Specifications & Properties:
-
Product Name: Micropipette / Variable Volume Single-Channel Pipette
-

-
Calibration: Factory-calibrated according to ISO/DIN volumetric standards; includes calibration tool for routine maintenance
-
Storage & Placement Conditions: Store vertically on a dedicated micropipette stand when not in use to maintain calibration integrity.
Safety & Handling:
-
Hazard Class: Non-hazardous liquid handling instrument. Biological or chemical hazard depends on the aspirated sample.
-
Handling & Usage: Always use with a fresh, sterile pipette tip matching the volume range. Pre-wet the tip prior to aspirating sticky or volatile liquids. Aspirate slowly and keep the pipette upright to avoid fluid backflow into the internal barrel.
-
Maintenance & Cleaning: Clean external surfaces regularly with 70% ethanol or mild laboratory disinfectant. Perform routine volume calibration checks and lubricate internal O-rings as recommended by standard operating procedures.
