How to choose a laboratory pipette and pipette

Laboratory pipettes and pipettes are used every day, so they are subject to greater demands than might seem at first glance. If the device is uncomfortable in the hand, quickly tires the operator, or is unstable in volume, this affects both the speed of work and the quality of the results.

The choice begins with the dosage range. There is no one universal dispenser for all tasks, so laboratories usually use a set of models for different volumes. Next, it is important to consider the type of tips, ease of calibration, resistance to intensive work and ease of maintenance.

Ergonomics is especially important. In laboratories where pipetting is performed many times a day, hand comfort and smoothness of the mechanism are as important as accuracy. A good dispenser reduces the workload on staff and helps maintain repeatable results.

For purchasing, this means that dispensers need to be chosen as a working tool for every day, and not as a minor detail in the budget.
