Product Description
Micropipettes are commonly used in molecular biology as well as medical tests. Micropipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. Many micropipette types work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense.
Micropipettes that dispense between 1 and 10000UL are termed Micropipette, while micropipettes dispense a greater volume of liquid. Two types of micropipettes are generally used: air-displacement pipettes and positive-displacement pipettes. In particular, piston-driven air-displacement pipettes are micropipettes which dispense an adjustable volume of liquid from a disposable tip. The pipette body contains a plunger, which provides the suction to pull liquid into the tip when the piston is compressed and released.
The maximum displacement of the plunger is set by a dial on the micropipette body, allowing the delivery volume to be changed. Larger capacity tubular pipettes, such as volumetric or graduated pipettes are used by temporarily attaching a pipetting aid. Micropipette typically handle volumes in the 0.5ul to 10,000ul range, for aliquot transfer and incremental dispensing in titrations, with a positive displacement method of operation.
