Advalab supplies Mini Fixed Volume Pipettes, with ergonomic designs that minimize hand fatigue during prolonged use. They require minimal maintenance due to their simple mechanical structure. Their precision piston mechanism delivers smooth and reliable liquid handling with each use. These pipettes offer excellent thermal stability for consistent performance across varying temperatures. Our Mini Fixed Volume Pipettes are used in clinical diagnostics and food testing for liquid dispensing.
1. Are mini fixed volume pipettes ergonomically designed?
Yes, mini fixed volume pipettes are designed with user comfort in mind. They are compact, lightweight, and require minimal plunger force, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive pipetting. Many include finger rests or soft-grip surfaces to enhance control and comfort. Their simple one-handed operation is ideal for both novice and experienced users.
2. How do I store a mini fixed volume pipette properly?
Store the pipette vertically on a pipette stand when not in use to prevent internal contamination or damage. Avoid laying it flat on the bench, especially if it has been used recently. Keep it in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment away from direct sunlight and corrosive chemicals. If the pipette was used with hazardous substances, clean it before storage. Proper storage extends the pipette’s lifespan and maintains its accuracy.
3. Can mini fixed volume pipettes be used for PCR or ELISA workflows?
Yes, they are well-suited for PCR and ELISA applications where high precision and small, consistent volumes are required. Their accuracy ensures reproducible results, which is crucial for these sensitive techniques. Many labs use fixed volume pipettes for adding primers, reagents, or buffers in PCR setups. In ELISA assays, they’re useful for dispensing consistent volumes into microplate wells.
