The Micro Pipette Pro is a precision liquid handling instrument designed for accurate dispensing of microvolumes in laboratory applications. This pipette offers multiple volume ranges with fine increment control, supporting both low-volume and standard pipetting operations from 0.1 μL to 10 μL. The instrument features variable volume settings with precise increment steps, enabling researchers to achieve consistent and reproducible liquid transfers across a range of experimental protocols.
Built for laboratory environments requiring precise liquid handling, the Micro Pipette Pro incorporates ergonomic design principles with technical specifications suited for routine analytical work, sample preparation, and reagent dispensing. The pipette supports workflows in analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical applications where accurate microvolume dispensing is critical for experimental reproducibility and data quality.
How It Works
The Micro Pipette Pro operates on the positive displacement principle, utilizing a precision mechanical system to control liquid aspiration and dispensing. The instrument employs a spring-loaded plunger mechanism that creates controlled pressure differentials for accurate liquid transfer. Volume selection is achieved through micrometer-style adjustment, allowing users to set specific volumes within the defined ranges with fine increment control.
The pipette incorporates a disposable tip system that creates a sealed interface with the liquid sample. During operation, the plunger creates negative pressure for sample aspiration, followed by controlled positive pressure for precise dispensing. The mechanical design ensures consistent performance across the operating range, with volume accuracy dependent on proper tip sealing and operator technique.

Practical Tips
Perform gravimetric verification using distilled water at room temperature with calibrated analytical balance.
Why: Temperature and liquid properties affect density measurements used for accuracy determination.
Clean external surfaces with appropriate laboratory disinfectants, avoiding internal mechanism contamination.
Why: Prevents sample cross-contamination while protecting precision mechanical components from damage.
Pre-wet tips with sample liquid before critical measurements to ensure consistent liquid contact.
Why: Eliminates volume errors from initial tip wetting and improves dispensing accuracy.
Check tip sealing and plunger operation if dispensing volumes appear inconsistent.
Why: Air leaks from poor sealing or mechanical wear are common causes of volume inaccuracy.
Maintain consistent immersion depth and dispensing technique across replicate measurements.
Why: Operator technique variables significantly impact precision and reproducibility of results.
Use appropriate chemical-resistant tips when handling organic solvents or corrosive solutions.
Why: Prevents tip degradation and potential exposure to hazardous chemicals during liquid handling.
Allow instrument and samples to equilibrate to room temperature before precise measurements.
Why: Temperature differences affect liquid density and volume accuracy in microvolume applications.

Background reading relevant to this product:
What is the accuracy specification across the volume range?
Consult product datasheet for specific accuracy and precision values. Performance varies by volume range, with tighter specifications typically achieved at higher volumes within each range.
Can this pipette handle viscous solutions and organic solvents?
The positive displacement design accommodates various liquid properties, though compatibility depends on tip material and specific solvent characteristics. Verify chemical compatibility before use with organic solvents.
How frequently should calibration verification be performed?
Gravimetric verification is recommended monthly for routine use, or more frequently for critical applications. Calibration intervals may vary based on usage frequency and regulatory requirements.
What tip types are compatible with this pipette?
Standard micropipette tips with appropriate volume ratings are compatible. Verify tip seal integrity and volume compatibility for optimal accuracy and precision performance.
Can the volume setting mechanism be locked during operation?
Consult product manual for specific locking mechanism details. Many precision pipettes include volume lock features to prevent inadvertent adjustment during extended pipetting sessions.
What maintenance procedures are required for continued accuracy?
Regular cleaning, calibration verification, and replacement of worn components are essential. Follow manufacturer guidelines for disassembly and cleaning procedures specific to this model.
How does this compare to air-displacement pipettes?
Positive displacement design provides more consistent performance with viscous solutions and volatile liquids compared to air-displacement mechanisms, though may require specialized tips.
