Gilson PIPETMAN P10 1-10uL Single Channel Pipette with Metal Ejector Colourcode Red

• Precise liquid transfer in molecular biology, such as DNA/RNA manipulation and PCR setup.
• Accurate reagent dispensing in biochemistry for enzyme assays and protein analysis.
• Small volume sample preparation in analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical research.
• Microbiological plating and serial dilutions in laboratory settings.
• Quality control and research in diagnostic laboratories requiring sub-microlitre precision.

Volume Range

Typically 1-10 µL, offering fine adjustment for precise dispensing.

Tip Ejector Material

Commonly features a metal (e.g., stainless steel) tip ejector for durability and autoclavability.

Construction Materials

Often constructed from PVDF and stainless steel for chemical resistance and robustness in laboratory environments.

Autoclavability

Units of this type are typically fully autoclavable for sterilisation.

Pipetting Force

Designed for low pipetting resistance, commonly around 2 N, to reduce user strain.

Compatibility

Typically compatible with standard D10 and DL10 pipette tips.

• What are the benefits of a metal tip ejector?

  A metal tip ejector, often stainless steel, provides enhanced durability and resistance to wear compared to plastic alternatives. It also typically allows for full autoclavability of the pipette, which is crucial for sterile applications.

• Is this pipette suitable for use with corrosive chemicals?

• How often should pipettes of this type be calibrated?

• Can this pipette be used for multi-channel applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of pipette?

Used pipettes and pipette accessories are valued for their precision and reliability across laboratory, biotech and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek equipment from established manufacturers known for consistent performance. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration records, checking for wear on plungers and tips, and verifying functionality are essential. These instruments generally offer strong durability and maintain accuracy when properly maintained. Accessories remain cost effective alternatives to new stock, provided mechanical condition and sterilisation history are thoroughly verified before laboratory use.
