How To Choose The Right Pipette

Feb 11, 2022Leave a message


1. Positive air pressure or piston moving pipettes


Positive air pressure pipettes are suitable for a variety of routine laboratory work as well as water samples.


2. The piston moves the pipette


Piston-moving pipettes are suitable for special requirements such as highly viscous, volatile, radioactive or corrosive liquids. In this type of pipette, the piston is in direct contact with the liquid to ensure that there is no risk of contamination. Since this type of pipette requires the use of special tips, piston-moving pipettes are more expensive to use than positive-pressure air pipettes.


3. Single-channel pipette or multi-channel pipette


According to your actual process requirements, choosing the right channel pipette will make your work more time-saving and efficient.


Accuracy and precision are the two most important aspects when choosing a pipette. Accurate means that the pipetting volume is equal to the set volume. Accurate means that multiple pipetting results are close to the same.


Use the highest quality, professionally maintained and calibrated pipettes and the correct high quality tips for optimum accuracy.
