Socorex Acura® manual 810 micropipette for dilutions
This modern micropipette supports laboratory professionals in repeat and dilution steps in bacteriology and other routine applications. Thanks to pre-calibrated fixed volumes of 1 ml and 0.1 ml, the instrument can be used without additional adjustments, saving time and minimizing measurement uncertainties. Compared to conventional glass devices, it offers high precision and reliability, which are particularly in demand in sensitive analysis areas.
Optimized pipetting solution for demanding laboratories
The device works according to the principle of air displacement and is therefore suitable for sequential liquid dispensing from the same aspiration. A stable metal cone ensures that the long PP tips with a diameter of 4 mm sit securely. This makes it easy to aspirate samples even in deep and narrow vessels or stomacher bags. The integrated filter also helps to prevent cross-contamination.
The robust, ergonomic design is particularly noteworthy. Even with continuous daily use, handling remains comfortable and operating the functions requires little effort. In addition, the entire instrument can be autoclaved at 121 °C, ensuring reliable sterilization. Its resistance to UV light and mechanical shocks makes it a reliable partner in high-traffic laboratory environments.
Important technical data at a glance

In addition, the device's internal calibration system offers optimum flexibility to maintain accuracy and precision. The color-coded identification of individual volume versions effectively prevents mix-ups in the laboratory. The enclosed inspection certificate provides immediate documentation that the pipette meets the required quality standards.
Certifications and standards
The design and performance are certified in accordance with current standards. ISO 8655 in particular plays a key role here, as it specifies exact tolerances for pipette precision and accuracy. The CE marking in accordance with IVD 98/79 EC also documents that the instrument is approved for diagnostic applications and can be used in bacteriology, serology and microbiology laboratories.
Concrete application examples
- Production of serial dilutions in food safety, for example when detecting germs in meat or dairy products
.
- Sampling from reaction vessels or stomacher bags for microbiological analysis without decanting into a separate, unwieldy glass pipette
.
- Perform sensitive pipetting procedures in cell culture to dose exact media or buffer additions of 1 ml at a time.
- In vitro diagnostics in medical laboratories where precise volumes are essential, such as for standard 0.1 ml preparations in microbial tests.
FAQs
How to calibrate the instrument
An integrated Swift Set system enables on-site calibration without the need for complex external devices. This means that the device always remains precise and stable over time.
Which stalk tips fit best
The micropipette has a universal metal cone that securely accommodates PP straw tips with a length of 190 or 240 mm and a diameter of 4 mm. This means that even deep vessels or bottles are easily accessible.
Is sterilization safe?
Yes, the instrument can be autoclaved at 121 °C. In this way, any adhering microorganisms are completely destroyed, which meets the highest hygiene standards.
Can the device withstand shocks and UV light?
The robust design provides reliable protection against shocks. In addition, the material has been designed to be UV-resistant, which guarantees regular safety in open storage.
Is the pipette approved for diagnostic tests?
It meets the requirements of IVD 98/79 EC and is therefore approved for various diagnostic applications in medical laboratories.
Conclusion
This pipette is a reliable solution for precise dilutions and repeated dispensing of small volumes. Its ergonomic shape, patented calibration system and robust manufacturing meet high standards of accuracy and ease of use. As a replacement for conventional glass instruments, it offers a modernized, user-friendly alternative that can be easily integrated into almost any laboratory. Whether in food quality control, routine microbiological tests or clinical diagnostics - the model ensures accurate results and uncomplicated handling.
