Lies comfortably in your hand with uncompromising precise performance: The IKA PETTE fix
single-channel pipettes are used for many different applications in the modern laboratory.
Color-coding simplifies rapid selection of the right pipette. The impact-resistant, UV-resistant
and chemically resistant conical tip ensures reliable metering in the long-term.
Improved ergonomics as a result of replaceable handles
IKA pipettes include three interchangeable handles in various different shapes and materials
in the delivery. The choice of the right handle for your particular hand means that the pipette
can be adapted to suit your individual requirements. This ergonomic optimization permits
comfortable and wrist-friendly working, and ensures that the pipette sits in your hand perfectly
in daily use for easy grasping of the working points. Precise and repeatable results are thus
guaranteed.
Straightforward ejection of the tip of the pipette
After the pipetting process, the tip of the pipette is ejected quickly and without
time-consuming hand repositioning simply by pressing the central multifunction button. The round
design means that the single-handed ejection works equally for both right-handed and left-handed
users.
Robust and smooth
The piston and tip cone are made from DLC-coated stainless steel. DLC stands for diamond
like carbon and is a diamond-like type of carbon which exhibits high levels of wear and
corrosion resistance, together with particular hardness and low frictional indices. The DLC
coating means that the tip cone is particularly insensitive and also ensures that the tips of
the pipettes are always in perfect condition and are securely seated, without leaks. The
extremely good anti-friction properties of the DLC also mean that the pipette will only need to
be re-greased on rare occasions. The benefit of the coating for the user is primarily the
consistent and low level of force required when absorbing and discharging the liquid to be
pipetted.
Maintenance-friendly, process-secure and easy to clean
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the pipette guarantees a long service life for the
product. The volume unit with piston and seal can be replaced completely in just a few hand
movements. The equally simple assembly is acknowledged audibly by a click and is thus
process-secure.
Simplified acquisition, documentation and monitoring
Acquisition, documentation and monitoring of equipment and processes is of great importance
in most laboratories. The serial number of the IKA PETTE can be scanned from a QR Code on the
housing, easily and without transfer errors. The serial number and the pipette are thus uniquely
linked.
Can be autoclaved at 121°C
The IKA PETTE is ideally suited to heat and high-pressure sterilization. Thanks to its
simple construction, the pipette can be cleaned and autoclaved either in complete or in
dismantled state.
Large range of pipette tips
All the PETTE fix and vario models are compatible with pipette tips from most manufacturers.
Pipette tips having the standard color codes gray, yellow, and blue always fit on our pipettes,
marked accordingly. This means that there is a wide range of pipette tips to choose from and you
can rest assured that only suitable tips are fitted.
