BRAND piston-operated pipette Transfer pipette S-12, variable
This laboratory microliter pipette is specially designed for precise and safe handling of different volumes. Thanks to its ergonomic design and sturdy construction, it is recommended for work in clinics, research facilities or research-oriented companies. Compared to many conventional pipettes, it offers volume adjustment protection and convenient one-handed operation, which is highly valued in everyday laboratory work.
Efficient operation and modular features
The piston-operated pipette is suitable for a wide range of pipetting tasks, especially with frequently changing volumes. The integrated one-handed operation allows the desired volume to be set, a sample to be aspirated and the pipette tip to be safely ejected using the ejector - without having to reach around awkwardly. The deliberately short distances for the thumb relieve the user during long pipetting series, which prevents muscle and joint complaints. In addition, the retractable volume adjustment guard ensures that set values cannot be accidentally shifted.
The easy-care design of the Transferpette S is particularly noteworthy: thanks to carefully selected plastics and corrosion-resistant components, it is resistant to chemicals and UV radiation. This makes it suitable even for contact with aggressive substances and in brightly lit laboratory environments. The integrated Easy-Calibration technology also allows adjustment to be carried out without additional tools. A decisive plus point is its autoclavability at 121 °C, which enables reliable sterilization.
In order to be able to pipette safely and precisely even in narrow reaction vessels or tubes, the pipette has a particularly slim shaft. Smooth-running O-rings also make it easier to attach and eject the tips.
Key technical data (selection)
- Volume ranges: 0.5-10 µl, 5-50 µl, 10-100 µl, 20-200 µl, 30-300 µl
- Accuracy: up to ±0.6 % (depending on model)
- Coefficient of variation: from 0.30% (depending on model)
- Completely autoclavable (121 °C, 20 min)
- Ergonomic handle for right- and left-handed users
- Included in delivery: shelf holder, reagent reservoir, assembly key, seals and silicone grease
- CE-IVD-compliant and DE-M marked
The Transferpette S is available in a total of five different partial volume ranges, each of which is supplied with a suitable tip recommendation. Depending on the type (e.g. M12-10, M12-50, M12-100, M12-200, M12-300), pipette tips between 0.5 and 300 µl are available. This fine gradation increases accuracy and the range of applications in the laboratory.
Certifications and standards
The piston-operated pipette fulfills important requirements for use in regulated areas, such as those commonly found in clinical laboratories or the pharmaceutical industry. With the CE-IVD marking, the device is approved for in-vitro diagnostics and also bears the DE-M marking, which ensures high quality standards and reliably reproducible results. All materials used comply with current DIN and ISO standards for laboratory devices.
Examples of use
- PCR setups in molecular biology: the precise recording of small volumes, for example at 10 µl or 20 µl, ensures uniform reaction mixtures and therefore reproducible results.
- Cell culture work: Here too, clean dispensing of liquids such as growth media or buffer solutions is essential - even if several rows of samples are being processed.
- Serological tests: Thanks to the convenient, the short stroke distances of this pipette create reliable and fast analyses, for example when measuring different serum volumes.
- Pipetting resistant substances: Due to the chemical-resistant materials and UV stability, the device can also be used safely in demanding areas, for example in toxicology laboratories with aggressive chemicals.
In all of these applications, the volume adjustment protection offers a decisive advantage: accidental adjustment of the pipette settings is avoided, which minimizes costly measurement errors, especially in repetitive serial fillings.
FAQ
How is the cleaning carried out
?
All removable parts can be dismantled quickly, allowing thorough cleaning. The device can be fully autoclaved in the event of heavy soiling.
What to consider when using other tips
Due to the universal tip holder cone, numerous commercially available tips will fit. Nevertheless, it is advisable to take the compatibility table into account in order to achieve the greatest possible precision.
Which materials increase chemical resistance
The pipette is made from selected plastics and has corrosion-free pistons and sealed O-rings. This reduces downtime, as components wear less frequently.
What does the supplied accessory include?
In addition to the pipette itself, a matching shelf holder, a reagent reservoir, a mounting wrench, silicone grease and seals are also included. This allows the device to be optimally adapted to different requirements.
Conclusion
This microliter pipette offers extremely user-friendly operation combined with high accuracy and reliability. The volume adjustment protection, ergonomic shape and light weight facilitate long pipetting series, while the Easy Calibration technology allows quick adjustment. Thanks to its robust design, autoclavability and CE-IVD marking, it is ideally suited for high-quality laboratory and research work. This makes it a well thought-out solution for all those who rely on precision, ergonomics and durability in the laboratory.
