ALab™ MicroPette Plus Fully Autoclavable Mechanical Pipette
Product Detail
ALab™ MicroPette Plus — a fully autoclavable mechanical pipette in adjustable single-channel, fixed volume, 8-channel and 12-channel versions; it withstands 121 °C and 1 ATM and does not need to be pre-treated.
The MicroPette Plus pipette is fully autoclavable, being able to withstand temperatures of 121 °C and pressure of 1 ATM, and does not need to be pre-treated prior. Following the autoclave cycle, a 12 hour cooling and drying period ensures that the high performance of the MicroPette Plus is retained; it is recommended that the piston and rubber seals be greased after every 10 cycles of autoclaving. It is available in fixed volume and adjustable volume formats, with 8 and 12 channel pipette options, a streamlined shape design, easy calibration and maintenance, and a dispensing head that rotates for effortless pipetting convenience. The tip cones are spring loaded for easy cleaning and maintenance and made of a compound material that secures high sealing performance. The specification tables below list the volume range, increment, test volume, systematic error and random error of the single-channel adjustable, fixed volume, 8-channel and 12-channel pipettes.

Where it fits
Frequently asked questions
Which configurations are available?
Adjustable single-channel (twelve ranges, 0.1–2.5 to 1000–10000 µL), fixed volume (5 to 5000 µL), 8-channel adjustable (0.5–10 to 100–1000 µL) and 12-channel adjustable (0.5–10 to 50–300 µL) pipettes.
Can the MicroPette Plus be autoclaved?
Yes. It is fully autoclavable, being able to withstand temperatures of 121 °C and pressure of 1 ATM, and does not need to be pre-treated prior.
What should I do after autoclaving?
Allow a 12 hour cooling and drying period, which ensures that the high performance of the MicroPette Plus is retained. It is recommended that the piston and rubber seals be greased after every 10 cycles of autoclaving.
How are the tip cones designed?
The tip cones are spring loaded for easy cleaning and maintenance, and the compound material-made tip cone secures high sealing performance. Piston and tip cone are assembled individually.
Does the dispensing head rotate?
Yes. The dispensing head rotates for effortless pipetting convenience.
What are the error limits of the 0.5–10 µL single-channel range?
Increment 0.1 µL. At 10, 5 and 1 µL test volume the systematic error is ±0.1, ±0.075 and ±0.025 µL (±1.00, ±1.50 and ±2.50 %) and the random error ±0.08, ±0.075 and ±0.015 µL (±0.80, ±1.50 and ±1.50 %).
Which SKU belongs to which configuration?
Each channel configuration, fixed volume and volume range has its own SKU; see the order codes table.
