Socorex Calibra® digital 822 micropipette
The Socorex Calibra® digital 822 micropipette offers precise liquid handling solutions for demanding applications in biotechnology, medical, chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories. With a wide volume range from 0.2 to 1000 µl, this device is an optimal choice for researchers who require exceptional accuracy and reliability. In addition, the micropipette impresses with its durable construction and lightning-fast volume adjustment, which sets it apart from many other pipettes available on the market.
Reliable precision and robust construction
This monochannel pipette combines advanced mechanics, ergonomic design and ease of use. It is made of robust materials with excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. As a result, users benefit from a long service life, less maintenance and stable measured values. The robust design enables constant work in everyday laboratory work in both research and routine diagnostics without compromising pipetting accuracy.
The ability to autoclave the instrument fully assembled at 121°C is particularly advantageous. This supports strict hygiene requirements and effective prevention of cross-contamination, which is crucial in areas such as molecular biology, microbiology or cell culture. Even after several autoclaving cycles, the instrument retains its reliable performance and precision.
Important features for demanding everyday laboratory work
In addition to its impressive stability and precision, the micropipette boasts other highlights that significantly simplify laboratory workflows:
- Maximum flexibility thanks to six different models from 0.2 µl to 1000 µl
- Lightning-fast volume adjustment for effortless and time-saving pipetting
- Ergonomic handling, supported by ideal shaft design
- Easy in-lab calibration to restore accuracy directly in-house if required
- Individual serial number and certificate of inspection for complete traceability
- Solid construction and excellent chemical resistance for use with a wide range of solutions
- Compliance with ISO 8655 standards for pipetting performance
Calibration in your own laboratory is particularly attractive for research facilities where several projects are running and quick adjustment is essential. Thanks to the simple calibration procedure, the device can be adapted to specific requirements and delivers consistently accurate measurement data.
Technical data at a glance
The sophisticated design ensures the lowest tolerances for inaccuracy (R%) and imprecision (V%). In conjunction with distilled water in a room temperature range of 20 to 25°C (± 0.5°C), the following values are achieved in accordance with ISO 8655:
- Volume range: 0.2 - 1000 µl
- Division steps: 0.05 - 5 µl (depending on model)
- Inaccuracy (R%) depending on model: up to less than ±0.5% (maximum volume)
- Imprecision (V%) depending on model: up to less than 0.2% (maximum volume)
- Suitable for 10 µl, 200 µl and 1000 µl tips (depending on model)
- Autoclavable: 121°C, fully assembled
Thanks to the wide variety of models, the pipette can be used in almost any laboratory environment, whether for precise dosing of the smallest volumes at 0.2 µl or for samples in the larger range up to 1000 µl. This supports sensitive molecular biology assays as well as routine microbiological or clinical tests with high reproducibility.
Concrete application examples
In many interdisciplinary laboratories, precise pipetting is an obligatory part of everyday work. The micropipette described here is particularly predestined for the following areas of application:
- Molecular biology assays with low concentration samples, for example for PCR setups
- Clinical laboratories for evaluative serum or plasma sampling in diagnostics and research
- Chemical laboratories for the precise pipetting of reagents, for example for acid/base titrations
- Microbiological routines in which cultures and media preparations must be accurately dosed
The micropipette is often used with aqueous buffer solutions, enzyme mixtures, staining solutions or cell culture media. The high precision allows consistent results even in demanding applications.
FAQs
How to adjust the volume setting
The desired volumes can be selected quickly using a smooth adjustment mechanism on the head of the device. The digitally readable scale helps to precisely measure the set volume.
What certifications are available
The device complies with the ISO 8655 standard, among others. It also comes with an individual inspection certificate so that users can track its accuracy at any time.
Is internal calibration really that easy?
Yes, calibration can be carried out in just a few steps using the clear calibration device. The operating instructions provide clear instructions for a quick adjustment.
What tips are there for autoclavability?
Before autoclaving, remove the tip and parts that are not heat-resistant. The device can then be sterilized fully assembled at 121°C and remains ready for use afterwards.
Conclusion
The Socorex Calibra® digital 822 micropipette is an ideal solution for demanding laboratory applications thanks to its fast volume adjustment, robust construction and compliance with ISO 8655 standards. Exceptional precision even in the lowest volume range, combined with convenient handling, makes it a reliable partner for scientists and professionals who depend on consistent and high-quality pipetting results.
