Electronic pipettes

An electronic pipette pays off when you pipette many repeats a day: it reduces strain on thumb and wrist, aspirates and dispenses at the same speed every time, and offers programs for dilution and multi-dispensing. A mechanical pipette is simple, needs no battery and suits occasional work. Electronic models also store protocols, so several users work in the same way. Charge them regularly. Compare with single-channel pipettes and multichannel pipettes. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

A multichannel model, usually with eight or twelve channels, fills a 96-well microplate row by row and saves a lot of time in plate work. A single-channel model is the better fit for tubes and individual samples. Some multichannel pipettes have adjustable tip spacing, so you can transfer between tubes, racks and plates of different formats. Choose the volume range per channel to suit your typical transfers. Plates are in microplates. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

Common modes are standard pipetting, multi-dispensing several portions from one filling, dilution with an air gap between liquids, mixing after dispensing, and reverse pipetting for viscous liquids. The set of modes differs per model, so check the product page for the ones you need before you order. Saved programs let you repeat the same protocol reliably. Tips must fit the pipette model. Suitable tips are in pipette tips. For a quote or a second opinion, write to sales@luminixhealth.com.

Depending on the model, you charge through a mains adapter, a single charging stand or a carousel for several pipettes. For use in the EU, choose the 230 V / 50 Hz adapter with the plug type used in your country (for example type E in Belgium and France, type F in the Netherlands); check the plug type on the product page. Replacement batteries are model-specific, so note your model when you reorder. Stands and spare parts are in pipette stands, calibration and accessories. Questions about a specific product?

An electronic pipette drives the piston with a motor, so a repeat dispense or a serial dilution is a program rather than the thumb. The volume range is still the specification. The battery and the modes, pipette, dispense, reverse, are the practical difference from a manual pipette.

A piston pipette delivers a set volume of liquid by air displacement or, for viscous and volatile liquids, by positive displacement. A single channel is the ordinary tool. A multichannel repeats the same volume across a row of a plate. A bottle-top dispenser meters reagent from the bottle it sits on. The accuracy is a property of the pipette and of how it is used, which is why calibration and a certificate exist. Piston-operated apparatus is treated under ISO laboratory apparatus. The volume unit sits with the BIPM and NIST.
