The pipette requires regular calibration per ISO 8655-2 to maintain specified accuracy. The lower half is autoclavable, but the upper electronic assembly must not be exposed to steam sterilization.
- Sterilization Procedure: Autoclave only the lower half of the pipette at 121°C for 20 minutes; do not autoclave the upper assembly to prevent damage to electronic components.
- Calibration Requirements: Perform calibration at the three test volumes (50 µL, 25 µL, 5 µL) using the specified systematic and random error limits as acceptance criteria.
- Tip Compatibility: Use only tips that provide a secure, airtight fit to prevent leakage, ensure volume accuracy, and maintain stable tip fit.
- Error Verification: Verify systematic and random errors at least annually or after any impact, disassembly, or recalibration to ensure continued performance.
How does the accuracy of the dPette+ 5-50 µL pipette change when operating at the lower end of its volume range compared to the upper end?
Accuracy degrades significantly at the lower end of the range. At 50 µL, the systematic error is ±0.40 µL (±0.80%) and random error is ±0.15 µL (±0.30%). At 5 µL, systematic error is ±0.20 µL (±4.00%) and random error is ±0.125 µL (±2.50%), representing a five-fold increase in relative systematic error and an eight-fold increase in relative random error compared to the 50 µL test volume.
What calibration standard does the dPette+ 5-50 µL pipette reference, and how does it support method validation in regulated laboratories?
The pipette references ISO 8655-2, the international standard for piston-operated volumetric apparatus. The technical specifications provide systematic and random error values at three test volumes (50, 25, and 5 µL), enabling users to perform user calibration checks directly against the standard, which is essential for method validation and compliance in regulated laboratory environments.
What are the sterilization limitations for the dPette+ 5-50 µL pipette, and why is partial autoclaving recommended?
Only the lower half of the pipette is autoclavable; the upper half containing electronic components must not be autoclaved. This partial sterilization is specified to prevent heat and moisture damage to the electronic assembly while allowing decontamination of the tip-holding and volume-adjustment mechanism that comes into contact with samples.
The dPette+ Single-channel 5-50 µL pipette offers a research-grade liquid handling platform with a 0.1 µL increment and autoclavable lower half, but systematic error increases significantly at the 5 µL test volume (4.00%), and user calibration per ISO 8655-2 is required for traceability.
Positive
- Single-channel precision pipetting: Single-channel configuration enables accurate single-tube sample preparation, reagent addition, serial dilution, and PCR setup with a 0.1 µL increment.
- Lower half autoclavable: The lower half of the pipette is autoclavable, allowing sterilization for contamination-sensitive workflows without requiring full unit autoclaving.
Trade-offs
- Systematic error rises at low volume: At 5 µL, systematic error is ±4.00% (±0.20 µL), which is considerably higher than at 50 µL (±0.80%), limiting accuracy for very small volume transfers.
- User calibration per ISO 8655-2 required: Calibration reference is provided per ISO 8655-2, meaning users must perform routine calibration verification to maintain stated performance, adding procedural overhead.
