PHOENIX Instrument 12-channel pipette, variable, autoclavable
The PHOENIX Instrument 12-channel pipette impresses as a variable-volume pipette with its reliability and high performance in modern laboratories. 12-channel systems are essential for performing parallel pipetting steps with high speed and reproducibility. The model presented here allows particularly flexible and safe handling thanks to its adjustable volume and autoclavability. Compared to similar pipettes on the market, this system is characterized by its optimized ergonomics, low pipetting force and easy tip ejection.
Efficient pipetting processes for modern laboratories
This multichannel pipette is designed with user-friendliness in mind and is equally suitable for right- and left-handed users. This includes, in particular, the ergonomic design, which reduces fatigue. The clever weight distribution of the components and the low manual effort required for pressing and releasing make daily work in the laboratory much easier. The volume can also be changed quickly and precisely, as the setting is made using a finely tuned wheel.
Regular recalibration is simple using the tool supplied, ensuring that accuracy and precision are maintained in the long term. Laboratories operating under strictly controlled conditions benefit from the fact that this model (LHP2 series) is fully autoclavable and therefore meets high hygiene standards. The prescribed calibration certificate in accordance with DIN ISO 12650 is of course included.
Overview of important features
- Variable volume range: from 0.5 μl to a maximum of 300 μl (depending on model).
- Autoclavable (LHP2 series) for increased hygiene and freedom from contamination.
- Ergonomic design to reduce stress damage.
- Calibration certificate in accordance with DIN ISO 12650 included.
- Smooth tip ejection for smooth work.
- Compatible with common tip types.
- 2-year warranty for a high degree of investment security.
In addition to these main features, small but crucial details round off the overall quality. The sturdy housing protects the pipette mechanism from external influences in everyday laboratory use. The accuracy and precision can be fine-tuned using an adjustment tool, so that optimum adjustment is possible for special applications.
Certifications and standards
Certifications and standards are particularly important in analytical and research-related laboratories. This model is supplied with a calibration certificate in accordance with DIN ISO 12650 to provide documented proof of measurement accuracy. A calibration service in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8655 is also available on request, which is particularly important for laboratories that are accredited or audited in accordance with the strictest quality guidelines.
Application examples
- Parallel dispensing in microbiology: When culturing bacteria and yeasts, the simultaneous filling of several wells or reagent vessels is an essential step. Culture media such as LB broth, YPD medium or specific selective media can be distributed quickly and evenly.
- High-throughput screening in pharmaceutical research: The 12-channel configuration speeds up pipetting volumes for both small and medium-sized preparations. For example, pipetting enzyme assays or PCR reactions in 96-well plates can be performed effortlessly.
- Sample preparation for genetic analysis: When working with nucleic acids in particular, reagents such as buffer solutions (e.g. TE buffer or special lysis solutions) are often pipetted in large quantities. A multi-channel pipette with variable volume saves a lot of time here.
- Serial dilutions in food analysis: If the contamination of food substances is checked, serial dilution series are often necessary. The flexible volume setting facilitates precise work steps at each dilution stage.
FAQs
How often should a recalibration be carried out
?
The frequency depends on the individual use and the regulations of your quality management system. As a rule, an annual check is recommended, especially if the pipette is used intensively.
What are the advantages of complete autoclaving?
An autoclavable system ensures the elimination of germs or potential contaminants. This is a significant advantage, especially in sterile environments, for example for cell cultures or microbiological analyses.
Does the handling work for both right-handed and left-handed users?
Yes, the design is such that all operating elements can be used without having to change your grip. This enables smooth operation regardless of the preferred hand.
Which tips are compatible
The design is tailored to the common standard tips. The custom-fit design means that a wide range of established brand and universal tips can be used.
Can the pipette also be used for viscous solutions?
In principle, pipetting slightly viscous liquids is possible. However, special pipette systems or adapted tips are required for very viscous or particulate media.
Conclusion
This variable multichannel pipette enables all kinds of pipetting procedures to be carried out in the laboratory in a time-saving and ergonomic manner. Its robust mechanics, simple volume adjustment and low pipetting force increase ease of use and reduce fatigue, even during intensive use. Thanks to its complete autoclavability (in the LHP2 version), the device offers maximum hygienic safety even in sensitive areas. The supplied calibration certificate in accordance with DIN ISO 12650 helps users to achieve permanently reproducible and reliable results. Flexible adaptation for different volume ranges, coupled with the ergonomic design, makes this multichannel pipette an indispensable solution for laboratories that require precise, fast and flexible pipetting processes.
