Technical Features

Types of Micropipettes:
1. Based on Volume Adjustment:
a. Fixed Volume Micropipettes
Designed to dispense one specific volume only.

Ideal for routine tasks requiring the same volume repeatedly.

Higher precision and reduced error risk.

b. Variable Volume Micropipettes
Allow users to set different volumes within a specific range (e.g., 10–100 µL).

Versatile and widely used in research settings.

2. Based on Channel Configuration:
a. Single-Channel Micropipettes
Designed for handling one sample at a time.

Suitable for general laboratory work and individual sample transfers.

b. Multi-Channel Micropipettes (8-channel or 12-channel)
Ideal for high-throughput tasks such as ELISA, PCR, and 96-well plate work.

Increases efficiency in repetitive pipetting tasks.

3. Based on Operation Mechanism:
a. Manual Micropipettes
Operated manually by pressing the plunger.

Economical and commonly used in most labs.

b. Electronic Micropipettes
Battery-powered with motorized piston movement.

Offer programmable functions, reduced hand strain, and improved reproducibility.

4. Based on Sterility:
a. Autoclavable Micropipettes
Can be sterilized using an autoclave.

Essential for sterile work environments like microbiology and tissue culture.

b. Non-Autoclavable Micropipettes
Cost-effective options, usually used in non-sterile environments.
