Eppendorf 022290002 Maxipettor Macro-Volume Adjustable Repeating Pipettor, 1mL to 10mL Volume
The Eppendorf Maxipettor 022290002 adjustable repeating macropipette has a manual volume adjustment, a visible digit counter, and a locking clamp. It is used for repeatedly dispensing a measured volume of aqueous liquid, viscous solutions, or solvents with consistent results. A digit counter indicates the selected volume in 10 microliter increments, and a volume selection dial provides volume adjustment from 1 milliliter to 10 milliliters for flexibility in pipetting operations. A locking clamp secures the pipette tip in place. The Maxipettor is compatible with positive displacement tips or air displacement tips (sold separately). This pipette is suitable for viscous solutions such as protein or oil, or solvents with high vapor pressure such as acetone or ethanol, among other liquids. 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, pipettors, 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.
Eppendorf manufactures instruments for cell manipulation and automated devices for liquid handling, for use in life science research laboratories. The company, found in 1945, is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany.
