This pipette requires periodic calibration per ISO 8655-2 to maintain specified systematic and random error tolerances at test volumes of 50, 25, and 5 µL. Full autoclavability imposes material compatibility limits; repeated sterilization cycles may affect seal integrity and calibration stability over time.
- Calibration Requirement: User must verify systematic and random error at each test volume against ISO 8655-2 reference values before critical method deployment.
- Sterilization Cycle Constraint: Repeated autoclaving may degrade piston seal elasticity and shift calibration, requiring recalibration after every sterilization cycle.
- Tip Compatibility Constraint: Only tips certified for 12-channel pipettes with secure friction fit must be used to prevent leakage and volume inaccuracy.
Calibration verifies systematic and random error at three test volumes using gravimetric measurement per ISO 8655-2. This procedure ensures traceable accuracy for microplate and PCR workflows.
Required Equipment: Analytical balance (0.1 mg readability), Calibration software or spreadsheet, Distilled water (22°C ±1°C), Compatible tips (12-channel, 5-50 µL range)
- Set volume to 50 µL
Set the pipette to 50 µL and attach a fresh tip securely. - Aspirate and dispense water
Aspirate distilled water, dispense onto the balance pan, and record the mass to 0.1 mg. - Repeat for all channels
Repeat the gravimetric measurement for each of the 12 channels at the same volume setting. - Calculate systematic error
Calculate the mean dispensed volume per channel and subtract the nominal volume to obtain systematic error. - Calculate random error
Compute the standard deviation of replicate measurements per channel to determine random error. - Compare to ISO limits
Compare both error values against ISO 8655-2 limits for the 50 µL test volume. - Repeat at 25 µL and 5 µL
Repeat steps 1 through 6 at the remaining test volumes of 25 µL and 5 µL.
How does the 0.5 µL increment of the MicroPette Plus 12-channel affect the accuracy of 5 µL aspirations compared to the 50 µL test volume?
The 0.5 µL increment provides volume resolution in half-microliter steps, which is relatively coarse for the 5 µL minimum volume. Systematic and random error values are specified per test volume (50, 25, and 5 µL) under ISO 8655-2 calibration, but the pipette is optimized for parallel reagent transfer at common microplate volumes rather than fine-tuning at the low end. Users should verify that the increment meets their precision requirements for 5 µL dispensing.
What tips are required for the MicroPette Plus 12-channel 5-50 µL pipette, and can it be used with non-standard tip brands?
The pipette requires compatible 12-channel tips sized for the 5-50 µL range. The product description advises confirming tip compatibility before ordering, as proper tip fit is essential for sealing and accuracy. No specific tip brand or standard is listed, so users should contact Atomfair engineering sales for recommended tip models to ensure reliable performance.
What are the sterilization and calibration considerations for the fully autoclavable MicroPette Plus 12-channel pipette?
The pipette is fully autoclavable, allowing complete steam sterilization for decontamination between uses, which is critical for PCR and biohazard applications. However, repeated autoclaving may affect calibration; the pipette is calibrated to ISO 8655-2, and users should verify accuracy after sterilization cycles. The technical specifications list systematic and random error per test volume for routine performance review.
The MicroPette Plus 12-channel 5-50 µL pipette is a fully autoclavable manual multichannel pipette with a 0.5 µL increment, designed for high-throughput liquid handling in microplate and PCR applications, with calibration data provided per ISO 8655-2.
Positive
- 12-channel format for parallel liquid handling: The 12-channel design enables simultaneous microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, and ELISA workflows, significantly increasing throughput in routine assays.
- Fully autoclavable for sterilization: The pipette is fully autoclavable, allowing complete sterilization of the entire instrument between uses, reducing cross-contamination risk in sensitive applications.
Trade-offs
- Requires tip compatibility and calibration verification: Users must confirm compatible tips, calibration requirements, and sterilization needs before ordering, as specified in the configuration support section, to ensure proper fit and performance.
