The Scilogex 72010000 Step Mate adjustable repeating pipettor has a manual volume control with five settings and provides one-handed operation. This manual positive displacement repeating pipette is used for repeatedly dispensing a measured volume of aqueous and viscous liquids with consistent results. It has a thumb-operated dial with five settings to control the volume for consistent dispensing. This pipette provides one-handed operation for adjusting the volume dial, filling the syringe, and pressing the plunger. A locking lever secures the syringe tip during pipetting operations. This pipette is compatible with eight sizes of standard syringe tips. It is fully autoclavable for decontamination and sterilization. The Step Mate repeating pipette can dispense up to 48 doses of liquid after one filling. Single-channel pipettes are typically used in biotechnology research, microbiology, and chemistry applications to aspirate, transport, and dispense a small, measured volume of liquid.
Pipettes are laboratory tools for collecting, transporting, and dispensing a small amount of liquid. Sometimes called pipets, pipettes, or chemical droppers, a pipette is composed of a tube that collects the measured substance and a mechanism to aspirate and dispense the substance. Some pipettes can measure a fixed volume of liquid, others are graduated to show the volume, while others can be set to measure a volume within a range. Pipettes can aspirate and dispense liquid manually, electronically, or with a pipette filler that can be motorized. Pipettes are available in a variety of sizes and designs, offer ergonomic features for often-repeated functions, can be autoclavable for reuse, or disposable. The type of pipette used is determined by laboratory applications. Pipettes are typically used in medicine, biology, chemistry, and biotechnology for liquid handling, sampling, testing, and cell culture applications.
