Description

CAPPAero multichannel pipette has a unique construction, ensuring extremely easy tip mounting and ejection. Both the 8- and 12-channel pipettes have an external ejection lever, assuring ergonomic and effortless tip ejection. This unique construction of CAPP multichannel pipettes enables the thumb to rest under tip ejection and helps to activate the other fingers, considerably reducing the thumb workload. Tip ejection is simply a matter of applying light pressure to the levered ejector arm. Excessive thumb workload by multichannel pipetting is one of the major causes of repetitive strain injuries and user discomfort. Apart from the external ejection lever, the lower part of each 12- and 8-channel pipette is slightly bent in order to eject only 2 tips at a time! This happens so smoothly, as if all 8 or 12 tips were ejected in one take, but this special construction of the lower part distributes the pressure and minimizes the workload. Each tip cone of CAPP multichannel pipettes is made of anodized aluminum and has double O-rings, which all together eliminate the need to ‘hammer’ the pipette into the tips rack to secure the optimal tip mounting. The ‘hammering’ is quite a common issue by multichannel pipetting with many other brands. With CAPP multichannel pipette you only need to apply a slight even pressure to perfectly attach the tips to the nose cones.

CAPPAero multichannel pipettes guarantee single channel accuracy and precision across all channels due to the special design and construction of the CAPP piston assembly. CAPP 8- and 12-channel pipettes are incredibly robust and fully autoclavable, offering easy maintenance. The use of anodized aluminum and metal nose cones instead of plastic ones substantially reduces risk of breakage due to accidental dropping and tip mounting. The lightweight metal components and stainless steel pistons ensure a highly robust performance for ultimate stability over time in terms of accuracy and precision. This smart and highly ergonomic multichannel pipette is built to last! See also CAPPOrigami reagent reservoirs, perfect for 8- and 12-channel pipettes.

Explore the universe of CAPP mechanical pipettes

CAPP mechanical pipettes are designed to offer the best user experience on the market.

Mechanical pipettes vs. electronic

Choosing between mechanical pipettes and electronic pipettes may seem quite daunting but at CAPP we make the choice easy. CAPP mechanical pipettes are a great option for budget-restricted laboratories as they maximize savings without compromising scientific output. Mechanical pipettes are faster to set up and make it easy to transfer small volumes with ease. Electronic pipettes are great for speeding up multi-sample liquid transfers. With automated dispensing and programmable features, CAPP electronic pipettes increase efficiency by optimizing pipetting workflows.

Ergonomics of CAPP mechanical pipettes

CAPP mechanical pipettes offer excellent ergonomics for industry-leading pipetting comfort. A contoured body provides users extra comfort when handling CAPP mechanical pipettes. Additionally, CAPP mechanical pipettes have a low thumb load to minimize the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI) when aspirating liquids. The piston stroke on each mechanical pipette is precision engineered for smoothness and thus it also lowers the risk of RSI. CAPP mechanical pipettes also feature a robust and lightweight chassis that allows users to transfer liquids for extended periods without getting fatigued.

Cleaning and preventing contamination with a mechanical pipette

CAPP mechanical pipettes are designed to minimize the chances of sample contamination but when accidents happen, the pipettes are easy to clean. For routine maintenance, rubbing the mechanical pipette with water and a mild detergent will remove most contamination. Alternatively, you can use 60-70% ethanol for even faster decontamination. The external and internal materials used to manufacture CAPP mechanical pipettes are also autoclave-ready. This means that you can simply add CAPP pipettes to your autoclaving workflows for fast and effective sterilization of each mechanical pipette. To keep your mechanical pipette free of contamination we also recommend using ExpellPlus filtered pipette tips.

Single- or multichannel mechanical pipette?

CAPP mechanical pipets come in single-channel and multichannel varieties, and they are designed for different purposes. Single-channel mechanical pipets are an excellent choice for many low-throughput liquid transfers in the laboratory. This includes all single-tube applications, large volume transfers (>1ml) and certain specialty applications that require high-level motor skills (e.g., gel loading). Multichannel mechanical pipettes are the best choice for high throughput liquid transfers involving multi-well sample plates. Examples of such applications include PCR plate reaction preparations and PCR strip transfers. As their name suggests, multichannel mechanical pipettes allow users to increase their efficiency by transferring liquids from reagent reservoirs into multiple sample wells all in one go. Learn more about how CAPP’s innovative multichannel mechanical pipets can improve your lab’s efficiency.

Fixed or variable mechanical pipette?

Most mechanical pipettes feature an adjustable volume mechanism that allows users to transfer variable volumes. Variable volume mechanical pipettes offer excellent flexibility and cost savings by reducing the number of mechanical pipets required on a workstation. However, variable volume pipettes are prone to user error, and this can reduce their accuracy and reliability in volume-sensitive applications. In such use cases, fixed volume mechanical pipets offer greater reliability as they always transfer a fixed volume of liquid with each aspiration. Fixed volume mechanical pipettes are also an excellent choice for routine protocols that require transferring a set volume of liquid. CAPPTrio fixed volume mechanical pipettes combine the best of both worlds by offering interchangeable fixed volume knobs for quick and easy switching between volumes.
