Pipette stands are crucial in a lab setting, as they help keep pipettes upright. To prevent pipettes from getting damaged and to keep them away from contamination, one must invest in a high-quality pipette stand. But investing in the best-quality pipette stand alone won’t help unless you maintain it properly. We at RV Instruments Pvt. Ltd., a prominent manufacturer of pipette stands, always advise our customers to maintain these stands to extend their longevity.
However, unaware of this, many customers fail to store the pipette stand properly, which not only damages it but also contaminates it, making it unsafe to store pipettes. In this blog, we are sharing a few maintenance tips for the pipette stand that are essential to keep it in the best condition for a long time.
Clean pipette stands regularly
Are you keeping your pipette stands clean? If not, that is one of the major reasons for pipette contamination. When used in laboratories, if not cleaned properly, dust will accumulate on these stands. It may also lead to chemical buildup if they are placed near areas where chemical experiments take place. All these will contaminate pipettes, making them unsuitable for laboratory use. It is advised to clean them regularly, but do not use harsh chemicals or detergents.
Regular inspection for wear & tear
One must keep a check on pipette stands and ensure they are not damaged or have any cracks. Most people neglect the cracks in the pipette stand and do not care much about the bent arms as well. Storing pipettes in such stands can also damage them if they fall from the stand. It is one of the reasons why we advise inspecting the pipette stand regularly for wear & tear. One must get these stands repaired promptly if they are in the repair position, or else replace them to avoid damaging pipettes.
Store or place them properly
Most people fail to keep pipettes in the correct position, which ends up damaging them. One must always keep the pipette tips pointing downwards so that liquids do not enter the pipette. Ensure that you place pipettes in the right-sized pipette stand. There are different types of pipettes available on the market, and manufacturers are also designing different types of pipette stands to place them properly. One must buy the right size pipette stand, keeping them forcefully in a small size pipette stand may damage both the pipette and its stand. Keep the pipette stand away from high-traffic areas where it can easily fall down and get damaged.
Conclusion
Following all these pipette stand maintenance tips will help you utilize your pipette stand for a long time. But first, ensure you buy the right-quality pipette stand without compromising on quality. We at RV Instruments Pvt. Ltd., as one of the prominent pipette stand manufacturers, are known for offering an exceptional range of pipette stands to meet the requirements of various laboratories and medical labs.
