This pipette requires periodic calibration per ISO 8655-2 to maintain accuracy within specified error limits. Full autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes is permitted for sterilization, but the pipette must be disassembled and dried before reassembly.
- Calibration Constraint: Calibrate the pipette according to ISO 8655-2 using test volumes of 10 µL, 5 µL, and 1 µL to maintain specified systematic and random error limits.
- Sterilization Constraint: Autoclave the pipette at 121°C for 20 minutes for full sterilization; ensure the pipette is fully disassembled and dried before reassembly.
- Tip Compatibility Constraint: Use only compatible pipette tips designed for 0.5-10 µL volume range to ensure proper seal and accuracy.
- Volume Range Constraint: Operate the pipette only within its specified volume range of 0.5-10 µL to avoid damage and maintain accuracy.
- Error Tolerance Constraint: Monitor systematic error and random error at each test volume; replace or recalibrate if errors exceed specified limits.
Follow these steps for accurate liquid handling with the MicroPette Plus pipette. Proper technique ensures repeatability and prevents cross-contamination.
Required Equipment: Autoclave, Compatible pipette tips
- Set Volume
Rotate the plunger button to set the desired volume within the 0.5-10 µL range using the 0.01 µL increment. - Attach Tip
Attach a compatible pipette tip firmly onto the shaft until a secure seal is achieved. - Aspirate Liquid
Depress the plunger to the first stop, immerse the tip vertically into the liquid, and slowly release the plunger to aspirate the set volume. - Dispense Liquid
Depress the plunger to the second stop to fully dispense the liquid into the target vessel. - Eject Tip
Press the tip ejector button to discard the used tip without touching it. - Sterilize if Required
Autoclave the pipette at 121°C for 20 minutes after disassembly if sterile conditions are needed. - Calibrate Periodically
Verify calibration using test volumes of 10 µL, 5 µL, and 1 µL according to ISO 8655-2.
How does the systematic error of the MicroPette Plus 0.5-10 µL pipette vary across its test volumes, and what implications does this have for low-volume measurements?
The systematic error at 10 µL is ±0.10 µL (±1.0%), at 5 µL is ±0.08 µL (±1.5%), and at 1 µL is ±0.03 µL (±2.5%). Relative error increases as volume decreases, indicating that accuracy is proportionally worse at the lower end of the range, which is critical for applications requiring precise microliter dispensing near 1 µL.
What calibration standard does the MicroPette Plus 0.5-10 µL pipette reference, and how does this affect user calibration verification?
The pipette is calibrated according to ISO 8655-2, as indicated in the technical table. Users should follow the ISO 8655-2 user calibration reference for performance verification, and the systematic and random error values listed at each test volume provide the basis for acceptance criteria.
Is the MicroPette Plus 0.5-10 µL pipette fully autoclavable without disassembly?
Yes, the pipette is specified as fully autoclavable, meaning the entire unit can be sterilized. The product description recommends confirming sterilization needs and calibration requirements before ordering, but does not detail specific disassembly steps or post-autoclave recalibration protocols.
This fully autoclavable single-channel pipette delivers 0.5-10 µL volumes with 0.01 µL increments and specified ISO 8655-2 accuracy and precision, making it suitable for PCR, qPCR, and analytical transfer in research and QC labs.
Positive
- Fully autoclavable sterilization: The entire pipette can be autoclaved at 121°C without disassembly, enabling routine decontamination and reducing cross-contamination risk in molecular biology workflows.
- Traceable ISO 8655-2 performance data: Systematic and random errors are specified at 10, 5, and 1 µL test volumes, providing calibration traceability for method validation and quality-control documentation.
Trade-offs
- Manual operation requires skilled technique: As a manual pipette, consistent volume delivery depends on operator plunger speed and depth; not suitable for automated high-throughput workflows without retrofit.
- Accuracy and precision degrade at low volumes: At 1 µL, systematic error reaches ±2.5% and random error ±1.8%, requiring careful volume matching and frequent calibration for critical assays in the sub-5 µL range.
