Pipette Controller
Product Code : EL-TT-10319
Quick answer: This is a hand-held, single-handed pipette-filling device built around a small, sensitive control lever, used to draw up and dispense liquid through a volumetric or serological pipette between 0.1 ml and 100 ml without mouth pipetting. The body is moulded in PVDF for chemical resistance, the pipette holder is autoclavable silicone, and a replaceable 3.0µm hydrophobic filter stops liquid from reaching and contaminating the inside of the unit.
Why the Filter and Lever Design Matter
The sensitive lever gives fine, graduated control over fill and dispense speed with one hand, which matters when a precise meniscus read or a slow, controlled dispense is needed — a coarse on/off bulb-style filler makes that much harder to judge. The 3.0µm hydrophobic filter sits between the pipette and the internal mechanism and is designed to be replaced rather than cleaned once it becomes wetted or contaminated, protecting the controller's internals from the liquid being handled and reducing the risk of cross-contamination between uses. PVDF construction resists a wide range of laboratory acids, bases and solvents, while the autoclavable silicone pipette holder allows that specific part to be sterilised between users or protocols without affecting the rest of the unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size range of pipettes does this controller work with?
It is designed for volumetric and serological pipettes between 0.1 ml and 100 ml, covering most routine liquid-handling pipette sizes used in teaching and research labs.
How often should the hydrophobic filter be replaced?
The filter should be replaced whenever it becomes wetted, discoloured or visibly contaminated, since its role is to stop liquid reaching the internal mechanism; it is designed as a replaceable part rather than a cleanable one.
Can the pipette holder be sterilised between users?
Yes, the silicone pipette holder is autoclavable, so it can be sterilised separately from the rest of the controller between different users or protocols.
