Pipettes are essential tools in any laboratory, enabling the precise measurement and transfer of small liquid volumes, often in microlitres, with accuracy and ease.
ACCUMAX Pipettes come in four types:
- Fixed volume pipettes deliver one specific volume each time
- Variable volume pipettes let you adjust the amount within a set range
- Single channel pipettes help with precise liquid handling in individual tubes or wells
- Multichannel pipettes allow simultaneous dispensing into several wells
Applications of a pipette include molecular biology, where they are used for transferring DNA, RNA, protein, and enzymes; clinical diagnostics, for preparing blood samples and mixing reagents for tests; and pharmaceutical research, for measuring compounds and reagents during drug development.
Attaching pipette tips may seem simple, but small mistakes can significantly impact your results. To ensure accuracy, always choose the correct tip by matching it with the pipette’s volume range. Insert the pipette vertically, holding it upright and pressing gently into the tip box avoiding excessive force. Check the seal; the tip should feel firm and stable. If it wobbles, replace it. To maintain sterility, never touch tips with bare hands or let them touch the bench. These straightforward steps help prevent cross contamination and extend the lifespan of your pipettes.
Pipettes are essential for scientific precision, powering everything from research to critical diagnostics. Consistent, reliable results come from proper tip loading and avoiding mistakes. ACCUMAX pipettes deliver the accuracy, sterility, and ease your laboratory demands. Ready to upgrade your pipetting? Contact Capella Science today at sales@capellascience.com.au.
