The lower half of the pipette is autoclavable for sterilization between uses. Calibration must be performed according to ISO 8655-2 using the specified test volumes to maintain accuracy and precision.
- Sterilization constraint: Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; the upper assembly must not be sterilized by heat.
- Calibration standard: Calibration must follow ISO 8655-2 with user calibration reference as indicated in the technical table.
- Calibration test volumes: Calibration verification must be performed at 300 µL, 100 µL, and 30 µL to cover the working range.
- Error tolerance limits: Calibration must confirm systematic error is within ±1.80 µL at 300 µL, ±1.00 µL at 100 µL, and ±1.20 µL at 30 µL, with corresponding random error limits.
- Volume increment constraint: Volume adjustments are restricted to 1 µL increments, limiting the selectable values to whole microliters.
Set the desired volume by rotating the adjustment mechanism within the 1 µL increment range. After use, autoclave the lower half and verify calibration per ISO 8655-2 at the designated test volumes.
Required Equipment: Autoclave
- Set volume
Adjust the volume setting to the target value within the 30-300 µL range using the 1 µL increment. - Calibrate pipette
Verify calibration at test volumes 30, 100, and 300 µL according to ISO 8655-2 to ensure systematic and random errors are within specified limits. - Sterilize lower half
Autoclave the lower half of the pipette after use to maintain sterility before the next application.
At which test volume does the dPette 30-300 µL pipette exhibit the highest systematic error, and how does this affect method validation?
At 30 µL, the systematic error is ±1.20 µL (±4.00%), the highest relative error across the calibrated test volumes. For methods requiring accuracy better than 4% at 30 µL, a pipette with a lower volume range or higher precision grade should be selected, as the random error at 30 µL is ±0.21 µL (±0.70%).
What calibration reference does the dPette 30-300 µL pipette use, and is it compatible with ISO 8655-2 requirements?
The pipette is calibrated per ISO 8655-2, with a user calibration reference indicated in the technical table. This standard specifies performance limits for piston-operated pipettes, and the pipette meets defined systematic and random error thresholds at the test volumes of 300, 100, and 30 µL as listed in the specifications.
Can the dPette 30-300 µL pipette be fully autoclaved, and what are the recommended sterilization conditions?
Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; the upper assembly must not be autoclaved. The product description does not specify exact cycle parameters, so standard laboratory autoclaving protocols (e.g., 121°C) may be applied to the lower half. Calibration should be verified after sterilization as the effect on performance is not stated.
The dPette Single-channel 30-300 µL electronic pipette (model AF-LH-DPETTE-30-300-µL) offers a practical volume range for routine liquid handling with autoclavable lower half, though its systematic error of ±4.00% at 30 µL requires careful volume selection for low-end accuracy.
Positive
- Autoclavable lower half: The lower half of the pipette is autoclavable, enabling sterilization of liquid-contact components to reduce cross-contamination risk in aseptic workflows.
- Calibration data provided: Systematic and random error values are listed at three test volumes (300, 100, 30 µL) per ISO 8655-2, allowing direct accuracy assessment for method setup and routine calibration verification.
Trade-offs
- High systematic error at low volume: At 30 µL the systematic error is ±4.00%, which may limit accuracy for applications requiring precise low-volume dispensing without additional calibration adjustments.
- Partial autoclavability only: Only the lower half is autoclavable; the upper assembly cannot be sterilized via autoclave, requiring careful handling to avoid contamination of non-sterilizable components.
