FAQ
Manual multichannel pipettes offer several benefits in a laboratory setting, including increased efficiency by allowing the simultaneous transfer of multiple samples, significantly speeding up workflows, especially in high-throughput applications. They ensure precision and accuracy in liquid handling, providing consistent and accurate sample dispensing. These pipettes are versatile, available in various volume ranges and configurations (such as 8- or 12-channel formats), and can be used for a wide range of applications, including 96- or 384-well plate layouts. Additionally, manual pipettes are generally more affordable compared to their electronic counterparts, making them a cost-effective solution for many labs.
Proper maintenance and calibration of manual multichannel pipettes are crucial for ensuring their accuracy and longevity. Regular cleaning with appropriate cleaning solutions prevents contamination and residue buildup. Periodic calibration according to the manufacturer's instructions or laboratory standards (such as ISO 8655) involves checking the accuracy and precision of the pipette using known volumes of liquid. Regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracked seals or worn-out tips, is essential. Storing the pipette in an upright position when not in use prevents liquid from entering the internal components. Consider professional servicing and calibration services to ensure the pipette remains in optimal condition.
Common issues with manual multichannel pipettes include inconsistent volume dispensing, which can be caused by worn-out seals or improper calibration. Regular maintenance and calibration can help resolve this issue. Leaking can occur due to damaged or improperly seated tips, so ensure that tips are correctly attached and replace any damaged components. Jamming can result from not cleaning the pipette regularly; regular cleaning and proper handling can prevent this. User fatigue is another issue, as manual pipetting can cause hand fatigue over time. Using ergonomic pipettes and taking regular breaks can help reduce fatigue. By addressing these common issues through proper maintenance and handling, you can ensure the reliable performance of your manual multichannel pipettes.
