Reading the measurements on CAPP micropipettes is easy and intuitive. Fixed volume pipettes such as the CAPPTrio display the loading volume on the plunger. Variable volume micropipettes such as the CAPPSolo range have a graduated counter mechanism that rotates as you adjust the volume settings.

A little indicator icon makes it easy for users to read the measurement on the counter. Modern micropipettes such as the CAPPMaestro single-channel electronic pipette feature a full-color OLED display with easy-to-read fonts. The selected volume is displayed prominently on the screen, making it easy for users to read pipette measurements.

Calibrating your CAPP micropipette is easy and straightforward. A stable environment minimizes the uncertainty of measurement.

Using pre-wetted CAPP pipette tips pre-wet the tips times , transfer the water to a measuring boat on the balance. Once calibrated, CAPP micropipettes are designed to retain calibration for longer. When aspirating liquid samples with a pipette, push the plunger gently to the first stop and hold it there.

This allows you to load the correct amount of sample without overloading the tip. Gently release your thumb from the plunger, drawing liquid into the pipette tip. Avoid releasing the plunger too quickly as this may create a pressure gradient that will force liquid into the shaft of your automatic pipette, potentially damaging it.

Release the liquid by gently pushing the plunger down until you reach the second stop. Follow these simple steps to draw liquid into a pipette safely. Selecting a high-quality micropipette like the CAPPTrio single channel pipette is a great start, but there are a few things that you can do to make it even better.

First and foremost, only use premium tips such as CAPP ExpellPlus low retention tips that are designed to fit perfectly around the pipette cone. Additionally, always pre-wet pipette tips before transferring liquids for better accuracy.

Pause for seconds before pulling out the tip from the sample volume. Apply constant pressure to the plunger to regulate aspiration speed.

Whenever possible, avoid holding automatic pipettes or tips for too long as this may cause temperature imbalances. Mechanical pipettes are among the most frequently used laboratory instruments, and it is important to choose a mechanical pipet that will integrate well with your workflow.

At CAPP we recommend selecting a mechanical pipette with excellent accuracy and precision. These two factors will make sure your liquid transfers are highly accurate and less error prone. To determine this, check the manufacturer's website for proof of independent quality certification.

Next, it is important to select a mechanical pipet with excellent ergonomics such as the CAPPAero multichannel pipette. An ergonomic pipette will minimize the risk of strain or injury as you transfer liquids. Additional factors to consider include pipetting capacity, sample throughput, and liquid viscosity, among others.

Scroll down to see the overview of CAPP mechanical pipettes. Using a CAPP mechanical pipette is as easy as pressing a plunger and aspirating. Seriously, it is that easy! Start by adjusting the volume control to the required volume. Place your thumb on the plunger of the mechanical pipet, making sure to keep your hand wrapped securely around the body of the pipette.

With your free hand, open the box with pipette tips and gently load a tip by pressing the nose cone onto a tip. Close the tip box and press the plunger to the first stop before lowering the loaded tip into the liquid to be transferred.

Pre-wet the tip for seconds and release the plunger gently. Once loaded, release the liquid into the desired container by gently pressing the plunger of the mechanical pipette to the second stop.

Eject the disposable tip by pressing the ejector hook on your mechanical pipette. Mechanical pipette error can be a huge source of frustration for scientists and technicians alike.

This often requires repeating long and tedious protocols to correct the error. By following a few guidelines, you can reduce the incidence of mechanical pipet error and increase your pipetting accuracy every time.

Firstly, learning good pipette technique will eliminate one of the biggest sources of error - the user. Regularly servicing mechanical pipettes will keep them in calibration for longer, reducing error and increasing accuracy.

Store your mechanical pipettes upright on the bench to prevent liquid from moving into the shaft, potentially damaging the interior.

Use high-quality pipette tips to eliminate improper sealing between the tip cone and the pipette tip as this will increase the chances of mechanical pipette error. Description Images Videos Specification Related posts Applicational highlights Related products FAQ Literature.
