Description
IKA PETTE fix 20 µl is a single-channel fixed-volume micropipette built for precise, repeatable liquid handling in contemporary laboratories. Colour coding speeds identification of the right pipette, while the shock-resistant tip cone resists UV light and chemicals to safeguard long-term dosing reliability. Supplied with three interchangeable grips of different forms and materials, the instrument can be tailored to each hand for comfortable, wrist-friendly pipetting and secure grip at the work point. After the pipetting step, tips are ejected quickly by pressing the central multifunctional button without changing hand posture; the round design supports one-handed use by both right- and left-handed staff. Piston and tip cone are DLC-coated stainless steel—diamond-like carbon that combines hardness, wear and corrosion resistance with excellent sliding properties—so tips fit tightly and liquid transfer needs only low, uniform force with rare relubrication. The volume unit with piston and seal disassembles easily for cleaning and maintenance and locks back with an audible click. A QR code on the housing captures the serial number without transcription errors. Autoclavable at 121 °C fully assembled or dismantled, this model from manufacturer IKA accepts standard colour-coded tips from most suppliers; maximum tip volume is 20 µl.

Questions about IKA PETTE fix 20 µl, Pipette, single channel, fix
What is this article?
IKA PETTE fix 20 µl, Pipette, single channel, fix is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Single-channel pipettes, inside Liquid handling, in Lab instruments.
A single-channel piston pipette delivers one volume through one tip. Fixed-volume pipettes are more accurate at their one volume. Variable pipettes cover a range and are specified at several points in it. Air displacement fails on viscous and volatile liquids.
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.
