Thermo Fisher Scientific - Thermo Scientific Finnpipette 8 Channel 100-122 UL MU63063D

• Transferring precise volumes of liquids in molecular biology.
• Performing serial dilutions in pharmaceutical quality control.
• Dispensing reagents in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
• Preparing samples for analytical chemistry techniques.
• Executing cell culture media changes in biotechnology research.

Typical capacity range

For this specific model, the capacity is 100-122 µL per channel. Other multi-channel pipettes in this class typically range from 0.5 µL to 1200 µL.

Number of channels

This unit features 8 channels, commonly found for standard microplate applications.

Operating mechanism

Manual, relying on a spring-loaded piston mechanism for aspiration and dispensing.

Ergonomics

Units of this type are typically designed with features like light pipetting forces and adjustable finger rests to reduce user strain.

Tip compatibility

Commonly designed to be compatible with standard universal pipette tips, often from the same manufacturer or third-party suppliers.

Autoclavability

Many Finnpipette models, or at least their lower parts, are typically autoclavable for sterilisation.

Calibration

Units of this type require regular calibration to maintain accuracy and precision, often with user-adjustable calibration features.

• What is the benefit of an 8-channel pipette?

  An 8-channel pipette significantly speeds up workflows involving 96-well microplates, as it allows for simultaneous transfer of liquid to or from an entire row or column.

• How do I ensure the accuracy of a used pipette?

• What maintenance is required for a manual pipette?

• Are spare parts readily available for Finnpipette models?

• Can this pipette be used for viscous liquids?

Pipettes and pipette accessories hold strong reputation in laboratory settings for precision and reliability. Buyers typically seek equipment with clear calibration history and minimal tip wear when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for consistent performance. Key strengths include accuracy, durability when properly maintained, and cost savings versus new equivalents. Buyers should verify calibration certificates, inspect seals and pistons for damage, and confirm compatibility with existing laboratory workflows before purchase.
