1. Product Description

1.1 Introduction

Westlab’s Precision Multichannel Channel Pipettes are designed to meet the liquid-

transfer requirements of the modern laboratory and to withstand chemical exposure.

The metal fabrication of the pipettes increases their liquid transfer precision and 

accuracy. Additionally, the 8- and 12-channel variants of the multichannel pipettes offer 

pipetting volume flexibility.

With excellent calibration retention and a precise volume adjustment mechanism, 

the pipettes ensure accurate volume dispensing. Coupled with the lockable counter 

mechanism, the high precision volume adjustment of the pipettes commoditises 

accurate and repeatable liquid dispensing. 

Tailored to reduce the negative effects from repetitive strain injury, the well-balanced and 

sturdy chassis reduces unnecessary weight without compromising the overall quality of 

the pipette. Furthermore, the pipettes are manufactured from a heat-resistant material 

allowing them to be safely autoclaved multiple times without a loss of quality. With a fully 

autoclavable body, the transfer of contaminants during pipetting is reduced. 

The pipettes are provided with exchangeable colour inserts for easy visual identification 

of pipettes by user-defined or volume-defined categories. Each pipette can be individually 

colour coded, using the included tool for drop removing. 

The pipettes operate according to the air displacement principle and are produced and 

tested according to EN ISO 8655.
