Your Costar 12-Pette Pipettor is a precision, adjustable vol-
ume, multi-channel pipetting instrument. It is designed for
dispensing and sampling precise volumes of liquids using any
number of channels from 1 to 12. Tips are spaced to match
the rows or columns of standard 96 well microplates. Volume
range is from 20 µL to 200 µL with 0.5 µL scale divisions.
Accuracy and repeatability are within 2%.
All operations, including remote tip ejection, can be performed
with one hand. The 12-Pette pipettor is ergonomically designed
for easy right or left hand use. The unique two-finger trigger
action is less fatiguing than thumb-on-top operation. The pis-
tol grip handle provides a better frame of reference for aiming
tips accurately into small wells than does a tall vertical config-
uration. The compact design is especially easy to use under
laminar flow hoods.
Safety features include remote one-hand tip ejection with a
7 to 1 mechanical advantage so that even jammed tips eject
easily and never need to be touched by hand. In the event of
possible contamination of the instrument, the entire unit can
be autoclaved for your complete protection.
Before autoclaving, set volume at 200 µL and wrap unit in
Kraft paper and tape. Autoclave 20 minutes at 250ºF (121ºC),
15 P.S.I.G. Although unit can withstand repeated autoclaving,
it should not be done more than necessary. Eventual damage
to lubricants and “O” rings may result.
WARNING: Excessive heat and/or time in autoclave can
cause damage to the unit.
