Brand Transferpettor Positive Displacement Pipette
The Brand Transferpettor Positive Displacement Pipette is ideal for use with liquids that render traditional air-displacement pipettes ineffective. Unlike air displacement pipettes, the piston of the Transferpettor directly expels the media from the tip, wiping the tip walls completely clean. This results in negligible residual wetting and highly accurate, reproducible results, especially with viscous, foaming, high-vapor-pressure, and other “problematic” liquids.
Specifications
- 10mL Capacity
- Max viscosity: 2,000 mm2/sec
- 90-day warranty
Brand Transferpettor -Features
The Transferpettor positive displacement pipette is ideal for use with liquids that render traditional air-displacement pipettes ineffective. Unlike air displacement pipettes, the piston of the Transferpettor directly expels the media from the tip, wiping the tip walls completely clean. This results in negligible residual wetting and highly accurate, reproducible results, especially with viscous, foaming, high-vapor-pressure, and other “problematic” liquids.
The Transferpettor is suitable for use with viscous solutions and high-density media such as concentrated protein solutions, oils, fats, resins, and glycerin. It is also suitable for use with high-vapor-pressure media (up to 500 mbar), including alcohols, acetone, and hydrocarbons that would otherwise vaporize in an air displacement tip.
Operating limits and exclusions
Liquids unsuitable for use with the Transferpettor include, but are not limited to those with:
- Density exceeding 13.6 g/cm3
- Viscosity exceeding 40,000 cSt (mm2 /s), depending on instrument capacity
- Vapor pressure exceeding 500 mbar
- Chemicals that attack either PP or PE (see page 128)
- Temperature of instrument and reagents must be between 15º and 40º C
- Instrument, tips and seals are not autoclavable
Testing
Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests, please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.
Pictures
The photos above represent our equipment, which is currently stored in our warehouse. Since we often stock multiple units of each model, we may not feature photos of every unit. However, if you request, we will provide photos of your specific equipment after we test and clean it.
