Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; full sterilization requires disassembly and may void warranty if the upper assembly is exposed to heat. Calibration must follow ISO 8655-2 using the three specified test volumes to maintain systematic and random error specifications.
- Autoclaving Limitation: Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes; the upper assembly must not be autoclaved to avoid damage.
- Calibration Requirement: Calibration to ISO 8655-2 is required at the three test volumes (300, 150, 50 µL) to ensure accuracy and precision within listed systematic and random error limits.
- Tip Compatibility: Use only compatible tips designed for 50-300 µL multichannel pipettes to ensure proper seal and accurate volume delivery.
- Volume Range Constraint: Do not operate outside the 50-300 µL range; the 5 µL increment must be strictly adhered to for reproducible results.
- Prevention of Cross-Contamination: When handling biohazardous or corrosive liquids, clean and sterilize the pipette according to manufacturer instructions to prevent carryover.
This procedure covers volume setting, tip attachment, calibration verification, and sterilization of the lower half for routine laboratory use. Adherence to volume range and calibration schedule ensures consistent performance across microplate and PCR workflows.
Required Equipment: TopPette 12-channel pipette, Compatible 50-300 µL pipette tips, Calibration reference tool (per ISO 8655-2), Autoclave capable of 121°C
- Set the volume
Rotate the volume adjustment knob to dial in the desired volume within the 50-300 µL range in 5 µL increments. - Attach tips
Press the pipette firmly onto a rack of compatible 50-300 µL tips until a secure seal is achieved. - Perform calibration check
Aspirate and dispense the test volumes (300, 150, 50 µL) using a calibrated balance and compare readings against ISO 8655-2 systematic and random error limits. - Autoclave lower half if needed
Disassemble the lower half of the pipette and sterilize in an autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes, ensuring the upper assembly is not exposed. - Perform liquid transfer
Aspirate by depressing the plunger to the first stop, immersing the tips, then slowly releasing; dispense by depressing to the second stop.
How do the systematic and random errors of the TopPette 12-channel 50-300 µL pipette compare across the three test volumes of 300, 150, and 50 µL?
The technical specifications list systematic and random error values for each test volume (300, 150, and 50 µL) in the integrated technical table, as retained from ISO 8655-2 calibration reference. Specific numerical error figures are not provided in the product overview; therefore, exact comparisons require consultation of the full technical table or manufacturer data. The pipette uses a 5 µL increment across the entire 50–300 µL range, and precision typically varies with volume, but quantitative values are available from Atomfair upon request.
What pipette tips are compatible with the TopPette 12-channel 50-300 µL pipette and are tips included with the unit?
The product description advises users to confirm compatible tips before ordering, but does not specify exact tip models or brands. The pipette is intended for microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, ELISA workflows, and parallel reagent transfer, which typically require standard 300 µL or 200 µL multichannel tips. Tips are not included with the pipette; they must be sourced separately based on the laboratory's preferred tip dimensions and quality standards.
What does it mean that the lower half of the TopPette pipette is autoclavable, and what sterilization conditions are recommended?
The specification states 'lower half autoclavable where indicated,' meaning only the tip cone assembly can be autoclaved, not the upper handle or volume adjustment mechanism. Specific autoclave temperature, pressure, or cycle parameters are not provided in the description. Users should follow standard laboratory autoclaving protocols for polypropylene components and contact Atomfair technical support for detailed sterilization guidelines to avoid damage to non-autoclavable parts.
The TopPette 12-channel 50-300 µL pipette offers a 12-channel format for parallel liquid handling in microplate and PCR workflows, with a 50-300 µL range and 5 µL increment. Its lower half is autoclavable for sterilization, but users must independently verify compatible tips and calibration data per the technical table.
Positive
- 12-channel parallel liquid handling: Enables simultaneous microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, and ELISA workflows, improving throughput for repeated reagent transfer and assay setup.
- Lower half autoclavable: The lower portion can be sterilized via autoclave, reducing cross-contamination risk in routine laboratory use without requiring full disassembly.
Trade-offs
- Partial autoclavability only: Only the lower half is autoclavable; the upper assembly is not, limiting full sterilization capability and requiring careful handling of heat-sensitive components.
- Requires independent tip and calibration verification: Compatible tips, calibration requirements, and sterilization needs must be confirmed by the user before ordering, as the product description does not provide complete validation data.
