Important things To Know for Selecting the Right Pipette for Your Lab!

Choosing the right pipette for the needs of laboratory testing’s and usage is really important. A proper pipette will give accurate fluids to pour into the types of equipment uses for testing purpose. There is a wide range of products available in different variants and specifications, based on the requirement and how exact the accuracy required is the most important to consider at the time of choosing the pipette.

Let's have a detailing about the considerations to check before proceeding with the pipette selection which is available in the market. 

Analyze the process and requirement: Based on the type of test to perform and what are the basic analyzing to take place in that is more important. Type of sample collection and frequency of sampling is also involved in the process. The other specifications like,

Air Displacement: In standard applications of pipetting the air displacement through pipette will give the complete high level of accuracy than others. It carries certain volume of air between the liquid sample and the piston which helps in maintaining proper accuracy in sample collection.

Positive Displacement: This is basically preferred for the radioactive procedure, corrosive, viscous and dense mode of samples and also includes in the applications like DNA, PCR techniques for amplification. Piston directly contacts with the pipette position.

Electronic: This is easy and ready to use a type of pipette which helps in the matter of performing best results. It also helps in productivity. Most of the cases used for the applications of standard procedures. The results display dynamically allows the users to perform the section of volume by just checking the digital display extracted by the pipette.

Multi-channel pipettes are basically used in lab-related works by the technicians use to perform. This is very useful for a large number of samples to collect. Technicians who usually work for the 96 / 384 plates will get more benefit than other modes.

The controller of the pipette is helpful in precise dispense of volume. Especially in a large volume of sample collection and pouring into the number of plates will give the best result with the help of these pipettes.

Liquid volume required for the testing purpose is also more important than other factors to consider at the time of changing the pipette. It differs the size and volume of the pipette to change at the time of selection as well. The time efficiency also plays a key part in performing the section process where the involvement of specification matters.

For selection process of a micro volume pipette purely depends on the practical work and its requirements only. By performing practical session only once can identify the requirement exactly.

At the same time, it is also more important to consider the handling of the pipette. For specific test, the pipette and its handling also play an important role. So better to check with the type of handlers available in pipette before go with a specific pipette.
