The lower half of this pipette is autoclavable for sterilization between uses. Calibration must be verified against ISO 8655-2 at the specified test volumes to maintain accuracy.
- Sterilization constraint: Only the lower half of the pipette can be autoclaved; the upper electronic assembly must not be exposed to steam or high temperature.
- Calibration constraint: Systematic and random error tolerances are defined at 1000, 500, and 100 µL test volumes per ISO 8655-2, requiring periodic recalibration to maintain specified performance.
This procedure covers routine liquid transfer using the dPette+ electronic pipette in a research laboratory setting. Follow these steps to ensure accurate volume delivery and maintain tip seal integrity.
Required Equipment: dPette+ Single-channel 100-1000 µL Pipette, Compatible pipette tips (100-1000 µL range)
- Set the target volume
Adjust the volume dial to the desired value within the 100-1000 µL range using the 5 µL increment. - Attach a pipette tip
Press the pipette shaft firmly into a compatible tip to create an airtight seal. - Aspirate the liquid
Immerse the tip into the sample and depress the plunger to the first stop, then release slowly to draw liquid. - Dispense the liquid
Place the tip against the target vessel wall and depress the plunger to the first stop, then to the second stop to expel residual liquid. - Eject the tip
Press the tip ejector button to discard the used tip into a waste container. - Sterilize the lower half if needed
Autoclave only the lower half of the pipette at 121°C for 20 minutes after use with biohazardous materials.
How does the accuracy of the dPette+ 100-1000 µL pipette vary across the volume range, and what are the implications for low-volume precision?
The systematic error increases in relative terms at lower volumes: at 1000 µL it is ±0.60%, at 500 µL ±1.00%, and at 100 µL ±3.00%. The random error also increases from ±0.20% at 1000 µL to ±0.60% at 100 µL. For applications requiring ≤1% relative accuracy at 100 µL, this pipette may not be suitable; it is optimized for higher-volume transfers where absolute error tolerances are larger.
What tip compatibility and calibration standards does the dPette+ 100-1000 µL pipette require for ISO 8655-2 compliance?
The pipette uses a user calibration reference per ISO 8655-2, as indicated in its technical table. Compatible tips must be confirmed before ordering; the manufacturer recommends consulting the technical sales team for tip matching. The pipette is a single-channel 100-1000 µL electronic pipette with a 5 µL increment, and its calibration data are provided for the three test volumes (1000, 500, 100 µL) to support method setup and routine verification.
What are the sterilization and handling requirements for the dPette+ 100-1000 µL pipette, and what parts are autoclavable?
Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; the upper electronic assembly must not be exposed to steam sterilization. The product is described as a fully autoclavable manual pipette, but the technical table lists it as an electronic pipette, so users should confirm the exact autoclavable components with the manufacturer before sterilizing. Routine handling includes volume selection in 5 µL increments and adherence to the calibration reference for traceability.
The Atomfair dPette+ 100-1000 µL single-channel manual pipette offers autoclavable lower half and ISO 8655-2 traceable error data, but its systematic error at 100 µL reaches ±3%, making it best suited for mid-to-high volume transfers where absolute precision is less critical.
Positive
- Autoclavable lower half: The lower half of the pipette is fully autoclavable at 121°C, enabling sterile operation for microbiology, PCR, and clinical workflows without damaging the handle assembly.
- Calibration data per ISO 8655-2: Systematic and random error values are listed at 1000, 500, and 100 µL test volumes, providing traceable accuracy metrics for GLP/GMP compliance and routine calibration checks.
Trade-offs
- Elevated error at low volume: At 100 µL the systematic error is ±3.00 µL (±3.00%), which is relatively high and may limit use in applications requiring high precision at the lower end of the range (e.g., ≤200 µL).
- Partial autoclavability only: Only the lower half is autoclavable; the upper actuator and handle require alternative chemical disinfection methods, increasing workflow complexity for full sterilization.
