The MicroPette Single-Channel Adjustable Volume Pipette is a manual mechanical pipette designed for accurate, reproducible liquid handling in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical research laboratories. Available in a comprehensive range of adjustable volume models from 0.1 μL to 10 mL, it provides the flexibility to accommodate diverse laboratory workflows—from micro-volume PCR setup to larger-volume reagent dispensing. Each pipette is individually calibrated according to ISO 8655 and supplied with a traceable calibration certificate, ensuring high accuracy (e.g., systematic error as low as ±0.50% at 5000 μL) and precision for reliable diagnostic testing.
Key ergonomic features include a lightweight body, relaxed finger rest, and large volume display window, designed to reduce user fatigue during prolonged pipetting sessions and minimize the risk of repetitive strain injury. The pipette is constructed from chemically-resistant materials that can withstand repeated autoclaving of the lower section, making it suitable for aseptic applications in cell culture and microbiology. The quick-release tip ejector enables one-handed, hygienic tip changes, while the simple user calibration and maintenance using standard tools support continuous accurate performance.
For the clinical laboratory scientist, the MicroPette delivers the accuracy, reproducibility, and ergonomic comfort required for reliable ELISA, PCR, and clinical chemistry testing in high-throughput environments. For the patient, consistent, error-free sample processing ensures that diagnostic results are reproducible, reliable, and delivered with faster turnaround times, supporting timely and appropriate clinical decision-making.
Description

MicroPette Single-Channel Adjustable Volume Pipette

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Precision Liquid Handling for Core Laboratory Workflows
  • Primary Use: Provides a manual, single-channel adjustable volume mechanical pipette designed for accurate and reproducible liquid transfer in clinical diagnostic, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical laboratory applications.
  • How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist and medical technologist, the MicroPette delivers precise delivery of patient samples, reagents, and controls. Its micrometer-operated piston displacement mechanism ensures consistent volumes, dramatically reducing well-to-well variability in downstream assays. Each pipette is individually calibrated according to ISO 8655 and supplied with a calibration certificate. For the patient, this accuracy translates to reliable diagnostic results for infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis, COVID-19), therapeutic drug monitoring, and genetic screening, minimizing the need for repeat testing and supporting accurate clinical decisions.
2. Ergonomic Design for Repetitive Pipetting Tasks
  • Primary Use: Features a lightweight, ergonomic body with a large display window, easy-to-use plunger, and relaxed finger rest to reduce hand strain and fatigue during prolonged laboratory work.
  • How it helps: For the high‑throughput laboratory staff and research technician, the low-force operation and comfortable grip help mitigate the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI) during long pipetting sessions. The quick-release tip ejector allows for fast, one-handed tip changes, further improving workflow efficiency. For the patient, a less fatigued operator maintains consistent, error-free technique, which directly contributes to the reliability and reproducibility of diagnostic test results.
3. Clear Volume Identification and Easy Calibration
  • Primary Use: Equipped with a large digital display window that clearly shows the selected volume setting, eliminating guesswork and reducing the potential for operator error.
  • How it helps: For the clinical laboratory scientist and quality control chemist, the ergonomic volume adjustment mechanism enables precise setting and locking of the desired volume, preventing accidental changes during pipetting. The large digital display provides clear visual confirmation of the set volume. The pipettes are simple to calibrate and maintain using standard laboratory tools. For the patient, this precision ensures that every well receives the exact reagent volume intended, reducing the risk of false-negative or false-positive results due to volumetric discrepancies.
4. Wide Volume Range for Broad Laboratory Applications
  • Primary Use: Available in a comprehensive range of adjustable volume models covering from 0.1 µL to 10 mL, including single-channel adjustable, single-channel fixed, and multi-channel (8- and 12-channel) configurations.
  • How it helps: For the laboratory manager, stocking a single MicroPette platform simplifies inventory and ensures consistent pipetting technique across multiple assays, from micro-volume PCR setup (0.1-2.5 µL) to larger-volume reagent dispensing (1-10 mL). For the patient, this versatility allows the laboratory to use the same high-quality instrument across different diagnostic platforms, supporting consistent, high-quality results.
5. Individual Calibration Certificate for QA/QC Compliance
  • Primary Use: Each MicroPette is supplied with an individual calibration certificate according to ISO 8655, supporting regulatory compliance and quality assurance programs.
  • How it helps: For the quality assurance manager and regulatory compliance officer, the traceable calibration certificate supports GLP, CLIA, and CAP accreditation requirements, ensuring that liquid handling instruments meet stringent quality standards for patient sample testing. For the patient, documented calibration ensures that every diagnostic test is performed with equipment that has been verified to operate within specified accuracy limits, supporting confidence in test results.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Chemical Compatibility: Verify that the pipette materials are compatible with the reagents being used; the pipette is designed to resist a wide range of chemicals.
    Tip Fit: Ensure the pipette tip is securely attached before aspirating; a loose tip may cause inaccurate volume delivery or sample loss.
    Aspiration Technique: Release the plunger slowly and smoothly to prevent foaming, splashing, or aspiration of air bubbles that can affect volume accuracy.
    Avoid Dropping: Dropping the pipette may damage the internal piston mechanism and affect calibration; recalibrate if dropped.
    Cleaning: Do not immerse the entire pipette in liquid; wipe exterior surfaces only.
    Training: Only trained laboratory personnel should operate the MicroPette Pipette for clinical diagnostic applications.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Sample Splash: If a biological or chemical sample splashes into the eyes, flush immediately with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention; if on skin, wash with soap and water.
    Chemical Exposure: If the pipette is contaminated with hazardous chemicals, refer to the chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific first aid instructions.
    Mechanical Injury: If a pipette tip punctures skin (sharps injury), wash the wound thoroughly and follow the facility's exposure management protocol for bloodborne pathogens.
    Autoclave Burn: If handling the pipette immediately after autoclaving, use heat-resistant gloves; if a burn occurs, cool the area with cool running water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
    Inhalation: If chemical vapors are inhaled during reagent preparation, move to fresh air immediately; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: Plastic components and tip ejector are combustible; may melt or burn if exposed to flame or high heat.
    Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂) or a dry chemical extinguisher for fires involving plastic materials.
    Fire Response: The primary fire risk comes from flammable laboratory reagents being handled; follow the laboratory's fire safety protocols.
