GENERAL

Outperforming Manual Pipettes with Comfort, Ease & Accuracy!

When using the MPA series?

When using a pipette that has not been used for a couple of hours we recommend aspirating and dispensing it prior to subsequent use. This will ensure smooth piston movement allowing for more precise dispensing.

Pipette Operation Guide ~ for accurate dispensing with pipettes

How can you dispense viscous or volatile samples more accurately? This document explains why such samples often lead to errors and effective countermeasures you can take for them. It also summarizes the MPA Series’ resistance to organic solvents, etc.
