Pipettes
Pipettes are indispensable laboratory instruments designed for the high-precision suction and delivery of uniform, repeatable fluid quantities. These tools are the cornerstone of liquid handling, allowing researchers to manipulate microscopic volumes of samples, reagents, and chemicals with the clinical accuracy required for modern scientific discovery.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Pipetting Equipment
Improving your liquid handling infrastructure is a strategic move for any research facility. Utilizing advanced fluid technology offers several operational advantages:
-
Accelerated Productivity: Switching to 8- or 12-channel systems allows for much faster plate preparation and large-scale screening.
-
Refined Control: Digital electronic models feature programmable logic that minimizes human variance and provides unmatched volume regulation.
-
Technician Wellness: Modern, lightweight builds decrease the physical burden of high-volume pipetting, leading to a safer and more efficient workplace.
-
Maintenance Support: With resources from Calibrate.it, keeping your hardware accurate and compliant is simpler and more affordable than ever.
Key Buying Considerations for Pipettes
To find the ideal tool for your specific application, evaluate these essential technical criteria:
-
Displacement Technology: Utilize Air-Displacement for standard liquids or Positive-Displacement for dense, volatile, or hazardous samples.
-
Volume Customization: Select Fixed-Volume units for maximum consistency in repetitive tasks or Adjustable-Volume models for experimental flexibility.
-
Throughput Needs: Multichannel versions are necessary for high-throughput screening (HTS), while single-channel models offer the highest level of individual sample control.
-
Tip Synergy: Ensure your device works effectively with low-retention tips to eliminate sample hang-up and maintain a perfect seal.
Pipette Frequently Asked Questions
How do manual and electronic pipettes differ?
Manual versions utilize mechanical plungers and physical dials for volume setting, offering a durable and budget-friendly solution. Electronic versions use motorized pistons to automate dispensing, which significantly reduces physical fatigue and increases precision.
What is the recommended calibration schedule?
Most experts suggest a professional calibration every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage. For intermediate verification, you can access free digital tools at Calibrate.it.
Can I use any brand of tips with these pipettes?
With the exception of the Vista Lab Ovation series, all Stellar Scientific pipettes are verified for use with standard universal tips. This includes our premium Teepa Tip and the One-Touch series, which is available in sizes ranging from 3µL to 1000µL for a precision-sealed fit.
What is the difference between air-displacement and positive-displacement pipettes?
Air-displacement pipettes use an air cushion between the piston and liquid, ideal for standard aqueous solutions. Positive-displacement pipettes use a capillary piston in direct contact with the liquid, necessary for viscous or volatile samples.
How do I prevent cross-contamination between samples?
To maintain integrity, always use aerosol-resistant filter tips and change them between every sample. Regular decontamination of the pipette shaft with 10% bleach or a UV sterilizer is also recommended.
