Complete Guide About Micropipette Parts

Image
  A micropipette is a laboratory tool that is used for precise liquid handling in small volumes. It is a crucial tool for scientists and researchers in various fields, including biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. In this blog post, we will discuss the different micropipette parts   and its functions, as well as provide a complete guide on how to use and maintain them.   1.  The Pipette Body:  The pipette body is the main component of the micropipette. It is made of plastic or metal and is designed to hold the other parts of the micropipette together. The body of the micropipette is typically cylindrical and has a smooth surface that is easy to hold and manipulate.   2.  The Volume Adjustment Knob:  The volume adjustment knob is located at the top of the pipette body and is used to adjust the volume of liquid that is dispensed. The knob is usually graduated in milliliters or microliters, and it allows you to set the desired volume of liquid with precision.   3.  The Volume D

Complete Guide to Electronic Pipettes: Types, Benefits, and Maintenance

Image
If you work in a laboratory setting, you've likely come across electronic pipettes before. These versatile and precise tools are used to transfer small volumes of liquids and are a common sight in labs around the world. Electronic pipettes are an essential tool in any laboratory setting, offering accuracy, precision, and ease of use that manual pipettes simply can't match. But if you're new to using electronic pipettes , or if you simply want to learn more about them, this complete guide is for you. In this complete guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about these versatile instruments, including their benefits, different types, and proper maintenance and care. First, let's start with the basics. What is an Electronic Pipette? An electronic pipette is a handheld device that uses a motor to draw and dispense precise amounts of liquid. They are often used in place of traditional manual pipettes, which require the user to manually draw and dispense liquids us

Reasons You Should Upgrade to Multichannel Pipette

Image
A multichannel pipette is a laboratory tool used to transfer precise volumes of liquid from one container to another. It is a common tool in many laboratories, including molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories. Multichannel pipettes allow users to transfer multiple samples at once, making them a more efficient and time-saving option compared to traditional single-channel pipettes. Here are a few reasons why you should consider upgrading to a multichannel pipette: Increased efficiency and productivity: Using a multichannel pipette allows you to transfer multiple samples at once, saving you time and increasing your productivity. This is especially useful if you are working on a large project or need to process a large number of samples. Improved accuracy and precision: Multichannel pipettes are designed to be precise and accurate, allowing you to transfer small volumes of liquid with confidence. The volume of liquid that can be transferred with a multichannel pipette

Things to Consider Before Using Serological Pipettes

Image
The serological pipette is widely used in the laboratory to transfer millilitre amounts of liquid ranging from less than 1 ml to up to 50 ml. Pipettes are available in sterile, disposable, plastic, sterilizable, glass, and reusable varieties. For example, serological pipettes can be used to accurately layer reactants of varying densities, mix chemical solutions or cell suspensions, transport fluids between receptacles, or mix chemical solutions or cell suspensions. If the amount of the liquid being inhaled and discharged is carefully regulated, serological pipettes may be effective instruments in the lab for transferring correct millilitre quantities of solutions. Serological pipettes provide exceptional accuracy, especially when combined with pipette tips. Continue reading to find out what factors affect serological pipette performance. Things to Consider Before Using Serological Pipettes What Affects Serological Pipet Accuracy and Precision? A variety of factors impact the precision

A pipet and pipette: Are they any different?

Image
Pipettes are essential in many biology, chemistry, and medical laboratories that often work as media dispensers. Not just diverse functions, they also have different designs, including glass pipettes and electronic pipettes. Nevertheless, these subtypes are not the only ways to categorize a pipette. A pipet, micropipette, and pipette are the three different terms that can get confused with each other. This article will put light on the difference they have, if any. Let us first understand the meaning of pipet since we have already learned about pipettes .   What is a Pipet? A pipet refers to a narrow, usually marked reading scale tube, which suctions a smaller quantity of liquid for the purpose of measurement and transfer. The measuring instrument has graduated glass, which includes a graduated glass tube that transfers or measures liquids in precise volume by drawing it up in the lube.     What are Micropipettes? These laboratory tools handle liquids in smaller quantities, gen

How to select the right filter pipette tips for your lab?

Do you know why filter tips are regarded as the face of pipetting technology? The answer is a high-quality filter tip is prevents cross-contamination while ongoing pipetting tasks. Thus, due to this reason, it is the face of pipetting. They are also called aerosol barrier tips other than filtered pipette tips because they preserve the pipettes from aerosols and volatile samples. While manufacturing the pipette filter tips, it is foremost to have high quality and cleanliness. These are used in laboratories for performing various research and lab tests like COVID-19. Thus, it is crucial to make use of high-quality pipettes.  In addition to quality, precision and accuracy of the filter tip are also important. You can choose from any filter tip, but how do you know the one you chose is right? Don't worry! We are here to answer that and help you select the correct filter tips for your pipettes.  Let's not end it here and read more to know how to choose the pipette tips. Barrier or N

5 Steps Process For Using Micropipettor

Conducting experiments in many laboratories needs dispensing of accurate and testable liquids. With this micropipettor has become an essential part of different laboratories. It can include microbiology, medical, chemical, diagnostic, and environmental sciences. A micropipettor comes in various sizes, and every instrument requires one of the disposable tips. It replaces the air from the shaft of the pipette to make a way to draw liquid, which leads to a vacuum. It needs the users to learn about using them appropriately to get the desired result of the experiments. The purpose of this blog is to serve as the guide for using micropipettor :   Ensure the volume setting Micropipettor work in a specific volume range, such as 20μL to 200 μL. Even though these pipettes function in several volumes, you must use different pipettes and operate smaller volumes. It can save you from using the limits of pipettes as they may not be as effective as needed for these extremes. After setting the ri
