A Multichannel Micropipette is a precision laboratory instrument designed to simultaneously dispense or aspirate liquids across multiple channels, increasing throughput and efficiency in experiments that involve multiwell plates or high-volume sample processing. Available in manual or electronic versions, it ensures accuracy, reproducibility, and ergonomic handling in molecular biology, diagnostics, and research laboratories.
Key Features:
- Multiple Channels: Typically 4, 8, 12, or 16 channels, allowing simultaneous handling of multiple samples.
- High Precision & Accuracy: Optimized for consistent volume transfer across all channels, typically in the range of 0.5 µL to 300 µL (depending on model).
- Ergonomic Design: Lightweight, balanced, and easy to operate, reducing repetitive strain during high-throughput work.
- Electronic or Manual Operation: Electronic models provide programmable volume settings, multi-dispense, and repeat modes.
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with most aqueous and non-aqueous reagents; autoclavable or disposable tips available.
- Adjustable Volume: Easy-to-set volume control for flexible laboratory workflows.
- Color-Coded Channels (Optional): Helps identify individual channels or tip types, reducing errors.
What’s Included:
- Multichannel micropipette unit
- Compatible disposable tips or tip racks
- Calibration certificate (for electronic models)
- Rechargeable battery or power adapter (if electronic)
- Instruction manual
Applications:
- Multichannel micropipettes are widely used for:
- High-Throughput Molecular Biology: PCR, ELISA, qPCR, and nucleic acid extractions in multiwell plates.
