About Variable Volume Micropipettes
Micropipettes are commonly used in molecular biology as well as medical tests. This come in several designs for various purposes with different level of accuracy and precision, from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. Many micropipettes work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense.
Micropipettes that dispense between 1 and 10000UL are termed micropipette, while micropipette dispense a grater volume of liquid. Two types of micropipettes are generally used;air displacement pipettes and positive-displacement pipettes. In particular piston drive air-displacement pipettes are micropipettes which which dispense an adjustable volume of liquid from a disposable tip. The pipettes body contains a plunger, which provide the suction to pull liquid into the tip when the piston is compressed and released. The maximum displacement of plunger is set by a dial on micropipette body, allowing the delivery volume to be changed. Larger capacity tubular pipettes, such as volumetric or graduated pipettes are used by temporarily attaching a pipetting aid. Micropipette typically handles volume in the 0.5ul to 10,000ul range, aliquot transfer and incremental dispensing in titrations, with positive displacement methods of operation.

Precision Measurement and Flexible Volume ControlOur variable volume micropipettes cater to a wide array of laboratory measurement needs, providing precise volume adjustment from as low as 0.1 L up to 1000 L, depending on the chosen model. The displayed digital volume and color-coded body allow users to quickly identify and select the required setting, boosting workflow efficiency and accuracy in sample handling.
Built for Comfort and DurabilityDesigned with ergonomics in mind, these micropipettes boast a comfortably contoured, lightweight structure that minimizes user fatigue. The low-force plunger mechanism enhances comfort during repetitive tasks. Crafted from high-quality, chemical-resistant plastic and internal stainless steel components, each micropipette ensures consistent, leak-proof operation and longevity in demanding laboratory environments.
Assured Sterility and Versatile UseWith a fully autoclavable lower assembly and resistance to UV radiation, these micropipettes are ideal for sterile environments such as laminar flow cabinets. They are compatible with standard universal tips, making integration across laboratory workflows seamless. Factory calibration with easy user adjustment guarantees reliable performance and measurement precision for varied analytical applications.
FAQ's of Variable Volume Micropipettes:
Q: How do I select the correct volume setting on a variable volume micropipette?
A: Adjust the desired volume by rotating the volume adjustment knob until the digital display shows your target value. Always ensure the volume set is within the specified range of the micropipette model to maintain measurement accuracy.
Q: What steps are involved in sterilizing the micropipette for laboratory use?
A: Detach the fully autoclavable lower assembly and place it in an autoclave at up to 121C. This ensures complete sterilization, making the micropipette safe for use in sterile or sensitive laboratory environments.
Q: What types of laboratory procedures benefit from using variable volume micropipettes?
A: These micropipettes are perfect for precise liquid measurement and transfer-essential in molecular biology, chemistry, medical diagnostics, and analytical research. Their adaptability to different volumes enhances their application across diverse protocols.
Q: When should I recalibrate my micropipette and how can I do it?
A: Recalibration is recommended periodically or after extensive use. Factory calibration is provided, but users can self-calibrate using the manufacturer's instructions to maintain precision, especially if accuracy seems compromised.
Q: Where can variable volume micropipettes be used safely?
A: These micropipettes are designed for laboratory environments, including standard benches and controlled spaces like laminar flow cabinets-thanks to their chemical resistance and UV stability.
Q: What are the benefits of using a color-coded micropipette system?
A: Color codes allow quick visual identification of volume ranges, reducing the risk of selection errors and improving efficiency in busy laboratory workflows.
