A crucial tool in labs for aspirating and dispensing tiny amounts of liquid from beakers, vials, bottles, or other vessels is the micropipette. It has a tip, pipette body, and plunger as essential components. The channel is dependent on the number of tips in the pipette. To simultaneously draw a larger volume of liquid while maintaining volume accuracy, a multi-channel micropipette is used. It uses calibrated marking to measure the volume of liquid. There are many types of multi-channel micropipettes depending on their uses.
Types and Application of Multi-Channel Micro Pipette
Vertex RV is an experienced manufacturer of a wide range of micropipettes. We cater to a wide scope of laboratory owners in diverse fields. Our micropipette offerings include attributes such as UV resistance, single-channel, multichannel, autoclavable, handypette-aided, and more.
The types of multichannel pipettes are:
1) Fully Autoclavable Multichannel pipette with 4-digit display
This type of multi-channel pipette is fully autoclavable, meaning the whole instrument can be sterilized without any damage. It is useful for speedy workflows, and maintaining this pipette is quite easy. The 4-digit display provides a highly precise reading of liquid volume. Here are the advantages of this type:
- Prevents contamination in sensitive lab experiments like microbiology, biochemistry, and genealogy.
- Cost-efficient, as they are reusable due to sterility.
- Speedy pipette activity is enabled by multiple channels, allowing simultaneous liquid handling.
- 4-digit allows for easy calibration, precise reading, and controlled volume aspiration.
- Get reproducible results, which are necessary for the verification of the hypothesis.
Fully Autoclavable Multichannel pipettes with 4-digit display are available in 8-channel and 12-channel variants at Vertex RV.
2) Handypette + Fully Autoclavable Variable Volume Multichannel Pipette With 3- digit display
This type is designed for ease of use and versatility. The handypette provides precise control and ergonomic grip for the user, while the variable-volume feature offers versatility in the experiment. This is comfortable and can be used with one hand for pipetting. To achieve variable-volume operation, a dial was used to adjust the volume in each tip according to the experiment’s requirements.
At Vertex RV, these are available in 8-channel and 12-channel variants.
Uses of Multi-Channel Pipette
A multi-channel micropipette uses the air-displacement mechanism to draw and dispense liquid. The plunger sucks the liquid to create a partial vacuum in the chamber of the pipette. To release, the air is sucked out, and the liquid is accurately dispensed. High-throughput applications are mostly used for these. Here are some of the uses of this pipette:
- Serial Dilution and Mixing
- Media Preparation and Cell Transfer
- Dispensing reagents for PCR setup
- Diagnostic Tests
- ELISA
- DNA/RNA Sequencing
- Antibody-based Assays
- Western Blotting
Conclusion
Multichannel pipettes are vital instruments for high-throughput lab experiments, tests, and analysis. The fully autoclavable and handypette variants are two broad categories of pipettes available from Vertex RV. These are efficient, increase workflow, ensure the accuracy of experiments, and allow for reusability and ease of operation.
