January 23, 2025- Pipettes are slim, simple devices, with their ability to accurately measure and transfer liquid volumes, enable the accuracy that scientific progress demands, according to Dynarex. Industries as diverse as food and beverage, cosmetics, forensics, and industrial manufacturing rely on these essential tools for quality control, product development, and ensuring the safety of their products.
With a wide variety of pipettes available, laboratory professionals can choose the ideal tool for each task. Here’s a look at some of the most common types of pipettes:
- Single-Channel Pipettes: Versatile and reliable, these pipettes are ideal for transferring liquids in one channel at a time, often used in small-scale experiments.
- Multi-Channel Pipettes: Designed for efficiency, these pipettes simultaneously transfer liquids across multiple wells, significantly speeding up tasks like sample preparation.
- Serological Pipettes: Typically used for larger volumes, these pipettes are commonly paired with a pipette controller or pump.
- Electronic Pipettes: Motorized and programmable, these pipettes reduce manual effort and improve precision, making them great for high-throughput tasks.
