This pipette is fully autoclavable for sterilization and requires calibration per ISO 8655-2. Compatible tips must be selected to ensure proper tip fit and measurement accuracy.
- Sterilization Constraint: The pipette is fully autoclavable, allowing sterilization after use with biohazardous materials.
- Calibration Constraint: Calibration must be performed according to ISO 8655-2 at the specified test volumes of 20, 10, and 2 µL.
- Tip Compatibility Constraint: Only tips designed for 16-channel pipettes in the 1-20 µL range should be used to ensure proper sealing and accuracy.
- Volume Range Constraint: The pipette operates within a 1-20 µL volume range with a 0.01 µL increment; use outside this range is not recommended.
- Error Tolerance Constraint: Systematic and random errors must be maintained within the specified limits at each test volume to ensure measurement accuracy.
How does the pipetting accuracy of the HiPette 16-channel change when operating at low volumes like 2 µL versus near the maximum 20 µL?
Accuracy decreases with lower test volumes. At 20 µL, systematic error is ±0.4 µL (±2.0%) and random error is ±0.2 µL (±1.0%). At 2 µL, systematic error increases to ±0.16 µL (±8.0%) and random error to ±0.1 µL (±5.0%). These values, supplied per ISO 8655-2, confirm significantly higher relative error at the low end of the range.
What key laboratory applications is the HiPette 16-channel 1-20 µL pipette designed for?
The HiPette 16-channel pipette is designed for microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, ELISA workflows, and repeated parallel reagent transfer. Its 16-channel format and 1-20 µL range support high-throughput liquid handling in research, quality-control, and teaching laboratories.
What calibration standard does the HiPette 16-channel pipette reference, and how is it adjusted?
The pipette references ISO 8655-2 for user calibration. The technical specifications list test volumes (20, 10, 2 µL) with corresponding systematic and random error values, which serve as benchmarks for calibration review. The product is fully autoclavable, facilitating sterilization without disassembly before recalibration if needed.
The HiPette 16-channel 1-20 µL pipette provides fully autoclavable sterilization and enables efficient parallel liquid handling for microplate and PCR workflows, but its accuracy and precision degrade significantly at the lower end of the volume range, with systematic error reaching ±8.0% at 2 µL.
Positive
- Fully autoclavable for sterile workflows: The entire pipette can be autoclaved without disassembly, reducing contamination risk in microbiological and molecular biology applications.
- 16-channel parallel liquid handling: Simultaneous dispensing across 16 channels accelerates microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, ELISA, and other high-throughput assays.
Trade-offs
- Reduced accuracy at low volumes: At the 2 µL test volume, systematic error is ±8.0% and random error is ±5.0%, limiting precision for very small transfer volumes.
- Requires compatible tips and calibration verification: Optimal performance depends on confirming tip compatibility and adherence to ISO 8655-2 calibration, adding setup and validation steps.
