The MiniPette Fixed Volume Pipette is a single‑channel mechanical pipette specifically designed for error‑free, repeatable liquid handling in high‑throughput diagnostic and research laboratories. It is available in a wide range of fixed volumes from 5 µL to 1000 µL, allowing you to select the perfect pipette for a specific task. Each volume range is color‑coded for rapid visual identification, dramatically reducing the risk of selecting the wrong pipette in a busy lab. Its compact, one‑piece molded body measures only ~130mm, making it lightweight and easy to store. The entire unit is fully autoclavable, ensuring sterility for cell culture, microbiology, and handling bio‑hazardous samples.

For the clinical laboratory scientist, the fixed‑volume design eliminates a common source of operator error, ensuring that every well receives exactly the same reagent volume for critical assays like PCR setup or ELISA plate coating. The pipette is compatible with standard 200 μL/300 μL universal tips and is simple to use, with a smooth plunger action featuring a definitive first and second stop. It is an ideal, budget‑friendly choice for reducing pre‑analytical variability, training new staff, or running high‑volume QC samples. Each pipette is individually tested and supplied with an ISO 8655 calibration certificate, guaranteeing high precision and accuracy for standardized protocols.

For the patient, the use of this pipette helps ensure that their diagnostic tests are consistent, accurate, and reported with minimal turnaround time by reducing the chance of volume‑related errors that could lead to run failures, false results, or repeat testing.

Description

MiniPette Fixed Volume Pipette

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Primary Use: Delivers precise, non-adjustable volumes of liquid (e.g., 5 μL to 1000 μL) for high-throughput, error‑free sample preparation in diagnostics, quality control, and research settings.

How it helps: For the clinical lab technician, the fixed-volume design eliminates the risk of accidentally changing the volume setting, which is critical for maintaining strict assay protocols. Its compact design (approx. 130 mm) and single-piece molded body make it robust and easy to store. For the patient, this precision ensures that every diagnostic test (e.g., PCR for COVID-19 or viral load for HIV) receives the exact reagent volume, minimizing run failures and ensuring consistent, reliable results.

2. Fast, Ergonomic, and Intuitive Operation

Primary Use: Features a lightweight, compact design (approx. 130 mm) that reduces hand fatigue and encourages proper pipetting technique, even during extended use.
How it helps: For the laboratory technician, the ergonomic shape and low-plunger force are designed to fit comfortably in the hand and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The compact size makes it easy to store and maneuver in a crowded biosafety cabinet. For the patient, reduced operator fatigue helps maintain consistent technique over a long shift, which directly contributes to the accuracy and reproducibility of their sample results.

3. Color-Coded for Rapid Visual Identification

Primary Use: Each volume size is color-coded (e.g., 10 µL: Green, 50 µL: Orange, 100 µL: Blue) for immediate visual verification of the correct pipette in a busy laboratory.
How it helps: For the laboratory manager, this system dramatically reduces the chance of using the wrong pipette for a critical step, helping to prevent costly assay failures. The molded-in color is durable and won’t rub off with cleaning. For the patient, this intuitive design reduces the risk of a pre-analytical error that could lead to a false result, ensuring that their sample is processed correctly the first time.

4. Fully Autoclavable for Aseptic Applications

Primary Use: The entire pipette is autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F), allowing for complete sterilization between experiments or for work with biohazardous materials.
How it helps: For the cell culture and microbiology specialist, the ability to autoclave the whole unit without disassembly simplifies the sterilization workflow and prevents cross-contamination between sensitive cell lines or microbial cultures. For the patient undergoing cell-based therapies or sterility testing, this rigorous sterilization protects their specimens from contaminants, ensuring the integrity of diagnostic results and the safety of biological products.

5. Universal Tip Compatibility

Primary Use: Compatible with standard 200 µL and 300 µL universal pipette tips, offering flexibility and reducing the cost of consumables by allowing the use of bulk tips.
How it helps: For the laboratory manager, the ability to use standard, low-cost tips with this specialized fixed-volume pipette simplifies purchasing and inventory management. The secure fit ensures consistent volume uptake every time. For the patient, this reliability ensures that every sample gets the exact, uniform volume required, which is essential for the reproducibility of multi-well plate assays (like ELISA) and other diagnostic procedures.

SECONDARY & SUPPORTIVE USES

1. Rapid PCR Setup: Used to quickly and consistently add the same volume of master mix, primers, probes, or templates to all wells of a 96‑well plate for high‑throughput molecular diagnostics.

2. Microbiology Inoculation: Delivers a precise volume of bacterial suspension for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and colony counting, ensuring accurate reading of zone diameters.

3. Manual ELISA & Immunoassays: Adds a consistent volume of antibodies, wash buffer, or substrate to multi-well plates, eliminating well-to-well variability in manual assays.

4. Cell Culture Passaging: Used for the repeated, sterile addition of trypsin or dissociation reagents to flasks and plates to ensure uniform cell detachment.

5. Blood Grouping & Serology: Transfers a fixed volume of patient blood or antisera to test cards or tubes for ABO/Rh typing and compatibility testing in the blood bank.

6. Quality Control (QC) Sample Prep: Accurately delivers stock analyte solution to tubes for preparing standard curves or QC samples for HPLC or LC‑MS/MS analysis.

7. Protein Assays: Quickly dispenses the same volume of BCA, Bradford, or Lowry reagent into cuvettes or microplates for protein quantification.

8. Application of Reagents in Histology: Used to add a fixed volume of hematoxylin or eosin stain to microscope slides for routine histological staining.

9. Educational & Training Labs: Ideal for teaching proper pipetting technique to students or new lab trainees, as the fixed volume eliminates the complexity of setting the volume.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Tip Fit: Ensure the universal tip is securely attached before use to prevent leakage and inaccurate volume.
Correct Pipette: Always double‑check the color-coding and label to confirm the correct fixed volume is being used for the protocol.
Avoid Contamination: Always use a new, sterile tip for each sample to prevent cross‑contamination.
Proper Immersion Depth: Aspirate liquids at a consistent and shallow depth to avoid drawing liquid into the pipette body.
Do Not Force: Do not attempt to adjust the volume setting; the pipette is factory-set to a fixed volume and is not user-adjustable.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Chemical Exposure: If the pipette is contaminated with a hazardous chemical, refer to the chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for decontamination and first aid instructions.
Autoclave Burn: Allow the pipette to cool completely after autoclaving before handling.
Mechanical Injury (Broken Tip): If a cut occurs from a broken pipette tip or glass, wash the wound thoroughly and follow the facility's sharps injury protocol.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: The pipette's plastic components are combustible, but the primary fire risk is from the laboratory reagents being handled.
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide (CO₂), a dry chemical extinguisher, or alcohol‑resistant foam for fires involving flammable liquids or electrical equipment.
