MICROPIPETTES

Laboratory Micropipettes

Laboratory micropipettes are essential tools for the precise handling of liquids in scientific, clinical, and industrial environments. Their use ensures accuracy in experiments, analyses, and procedures where every microliter counts.

At Pobel, we offer a wide selection of mechanical, single-channel, and multi-channel micropipettes with variable volume, adapted to different laboratory needs. If you're looking for precision, ergonomics, and durability, you'll find the best option here.

What is a micropipette and what is it used for?

Micropipettes are laboratory instruments designed to measure and transfer very small volumes of liquid with extreme precision. They are used in a variety of fields, such as:

• Scientific research: Experiments in chemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and more.
• Clinical laboratories: Blood analysis, biological samples, and diagnostic tests.
• Pharmaceutical industry: Drug development and quality control.
• Biotechnology and microbiology: Cell cultures, PCR, DNA sequencing.

Proper use of a micropipette is essential to prevent measurement errors and ensure reliable results.

Types of Micropipettes: Which one do you need?

There are various types of micropipettes based on their operating mechanism and application. Below, we explain their differences so you can choose the best option:

Mechanical or Manual Micropipettes

These are the most common in laboratories. They operate with a manual plunger system that allows precise aspiration and dispensing of liquids. They are easy to use and highly durable.

Variable Volume Micropipettes

They allow volume adjustment within a specific range, providing greater versatility. These are the most commonly used in research laboratories.

Single-Channel Micropipettes

Used to pipette liquids individually. They are the most common and suitable for most applications.

Multi-Channel Micropipettes

These allow multiple channels to be handled simultaneously (e.g., 8 or 12), speeding up work with microtitration plates in high-throughput assays.

If you're unsure which micropipette to choose, at Pobel, we can advise you to find the best option for your laboratory and budget.

Key Factors for Choosing a Laboratory Micropipette

Selecting the right micropipette is essential to improving efficiency in the laboratory. Here are some aspects to consider:

• Precision and accuracy: the micropipette should ensure reliable and reproducible measurements. Opt for models from recognized brands that comply with quality standards.
• Ergonomics and comfort: an ergonomic design reduces fatigue during prolonged pipetting. Micropipettes with a good grip and smooth mechanism facilitate work.
• Tip compatibility: ensure that the micropipette is compatible with universal tips or specific brand tips, depending on your needs.
• Materials and durability: high-quality micropipettes are made from materials resistant to chemicals and impacts, ensuring a long lifespan.
• Ease of calibration and maintenance: to maintain accuracy, the micropipette must be calibrated periodically. Models with easy calibration simplify maintenance.

At Pobel, we offer high-quality micropipettes with the best price-performance ratio and guaranteed precision.

Micropipette Maintenance and Calibration: Essential Tips

To ensure maximum precision and extend the lifespan of your micropipette, follow these maintenance and calibration recommendations:

• Daily Cleaning and Care

• Use disposable tips to prevent cross-contamination.
• Clean the exterior of the micropipette with isopropyl alcohol.
• Avoid liquid entering the micropipette body.

• Periodic Calibration

• Calibration should be performed every 3–6 months, depending on usage.
• If you notice deviations in measurements, recalibrate the micropipette immediately.
• Use precision balances to check its performance.

Proper maintenance ensures that your micropipette functions correctly and saves you costs on repairs or replacements.
