Mi-Pette 8-Channel 0.5-10 μL Manual Pipette ATOMFAIR®

Calibration must conform to ISO 8655-2 with systematic error within ±0.24 µL at 10 µL test volume. High-temperature sterilization is supported only for source families explicitly permitting this procedure.

• Calibration Requirement: Calibration must be verified against ISO 8655-2 using the specified test volumes (10, 5, 1 µL) to ensure accuracy within stated systematic and random error limits.
• Sterilization Constraint: High-temperature sterilization is permitted only when the pipette belongs to a source family that explicitly supports this procedure, and tips must be removed prior to the cycle.
• Volume Adjustment: The volume increment is 0.01 µL and must be set precisely using the adjustment mechanism to avoid misalignment and maintain accuracy across the working range.
• Tip Compatibility: Only tips validated for the 0.5–10 µL range and 8-channel format should be used to maintain seal integrity and volumetric accuracy.
• Parallel Operation: All eight channels must be operated consistently to ensure uniform liquid transfer, particularly during aspiration and dispensing steps.

Initial calibration verification and proper tip attachment ensure accurate microliter liquid transfer. Subsequent sterilization steps maintain contamination control for multi-user environments.

Required Equipment: Compatible 0.5–10 µL pipette tips (8-channel format), Autoclave (if sterilization required)

1. Verify calibration
   Verify calibration against ISO 8655-2 using the test volumes 10, 5, and 1 µL before initial use.
2. Set volume
   Set the desired volume by rotating the plunger button to the 0.01 µL increment scale.
3. Attach tips
   Attach a compatible 8-channel tip array firmly by pressing the tip cone into the tip rack.
4. Aspirate liquid
   Aspirate liquid by depressing the plunger to the first stop, immersing tips, and slowly releasing.
5. Dispense liquid
   Dispense liquid by depressing the plunger to the first stop, then continue to the second stop to expel residual liquid.
6. Eject tips
   Eject tips by pressing the tip ejector button into a waste receptacle.
7. Sterilize if needed
   If sterilization is required, disassemble the lower section and autoclave at high temperature as per source family instructions.

The Mi-Pette 8-channel 0.5-10 µL pipette offers parallel liquid handling for microplate and PCR workflows with full autoclavability, but exhibits high systematic and random error at the 1 µL test volume, limiting precision at the lower end of its range.

Positive

• 8-channel parallel liquid handling: The 8-channel configuration enables simultaneous microplate loading, PCR plate preparation, and ELISA workflows, improving throughput for repeated parallel reagent transfer.
• Fully autoclavable construction: High-temperature sterilization is supported, allowing decontamination between uses and reducing cross-contamination risk in sensitive laboratory environments.

Trade-offs

• High systematic error at low volume: At the 1 µL test volume, systematic error is ±0.24 µL (±24%), which may compromise accuracy for applications requiring precise sub-microliter dispensing.
• Elevated random error at low volume: Random error at 1 µL is ±0.16 µL (±16%), indicating reduced repeatability near the lower end of the volume range compared to higher test volumes.
