This pipette can be calibrated per ISO 8655-2 using the specified test volumes and error limits. Only the lower half of the pipette is designed for autoclaving; the upper half requires alternative sterilization methods.
- Calibration Reference: Calibrate the pipette according to ISO 8655-2 using the listed test volumes and systematic and random error values.
- Sterilization Limitation: Autoclave only the lower half of the pipette and avoid exposing the upper assembly to steam sterilization conditions.
How does the accuracy of the Atomfair dPette 5-50 µL pipette change across its volume range, and what is the relative error at the lowest set point?
The systematic error increases from ±0.80% at 50 µL to ±4.00% at 5 µL, while random error goes from ±0.30% at 50 µL to ±2.50% at 5 µL. This means relative accuracy degrades significantly at the lower end of the range, so for critical low-volume work, choosing a smaller capacity pipette is recommended to stay within the optimal accuracy zone.
What calibration standard does the dPette 5-50 µL pipette conform to, and how does this affect method validation in regulated laboratories?
The pipette is calibrated per ISO 8655-2, the international standard for piston-operated volumetric apparatus. This provides a traceable calibration reference for FDA, GLP, and ISO 17025 quality systems, allowing users to incorporate the pipette into validated methods without additional recertification.
Can the entire dPette 5-50 µL pipette be autoclaved for decontamination, or only specific components?
Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; the upper assembly containing the electronic or mechanical drive should not be autoclaved. This limits sterilization to the tip ejector and shaft, so alternative decontamination methods such as chemical disinfection are required for the upper body.
The dPette Single-channel 5-50 µL Pipette is a manual, fully autoclavable lower-half pipette offering a 0.1 µL increment and calibrated systematic error per ISO 8655-2. Its single-channel design supports standard liquid handling workflows, though the systematic error increases to ±4% at the 5 µL test volume, and sterilization is limited to the lower half only.
Positive
- Autoclavable lower half for sterility: The lower half of the pipette can be autoclaved, enabling decontamination between assays or when handling biohazardous materials without compromising the entire instrument.
- ISO 8655-2 calibration traceability: Systematic and random error values are provided at three test volumes (50, 25, 5 µL) with reference to ISO 8655-2, allowing direct verification of dispensing accuracy for method validation and routine quality control.
Trade-offs
- Elevated error at low volume: At 5 µL the systematic error is ±0.20 µL (±4.00%), which is significantly higher than at the upper range; this constrains precision for sub-10 µL applications and may require tighter calibration or alternative pipetting strategies.
- Partial autoclave compatibility: Only the lower half is autoclavable; the upper assembly must be decontaminated by other means, adding procedural steps for complete sterilization and increasing the risk of cross-contamination if not handled correctly.
