Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EPPENDORF from 3G Electric.
What volume ranges are available for Eppendorf single-channel pipettors from 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks Eppendorf single-channel pipettors in capacities including 2.5 µL, 10 µL, 20 µL, 100 µL, 200 µL, and 500 µL. These are available in both manual fixed-volume and manual adjustable-volume types. The adjustable models offer volume increments as fine as 0.01 µL for the 10 µL pipettor, allowing precise liquid handling for micro-volume applications.
Are Eppendorf pipettes autoclavable for sterilization?
Yes, the Eppendorf pipettes supplied by 3G Electric are autoclavable. This allows the entire pipette to be sterilized at 121°C, which is essential for applications requiring aseptic technique, such as cell culture or PCR setup. The autoclavable design ensures the pipette maintains accuracy after repeated sterilization cycles.
What types of Eppendorf pipette tips are available through 3G Electric?
3G Electric offers Eppendorf pipette tips in sterile and non-sterile configurations, with or without filters. The tips are made from biomedical-grade plastic and are supplied in preconfigured racks for easy handling. For example, SKU 26UX43 provides sterile, filtered tips with a 200 µL capacity in a rack of 960, while SKU 26UX34 offers sterile, filtered 10 µL tips in a similar format.
Are Eppendorf pipette tips compatible with other pipette brands?
Eppendorf pipette tips are designed for universal compatibility, meaning they can be used with Eppendorf pipettes as well as pipettes from other major manufacturers. The tips feature a standardized fit that ensures a secure seal and accurate liquid transfer across different pipette models, reducing the need for brand-specific consumables.
What accuracy specifications do Eppendorf fixed-volume pipettors have?
Eppendorf fixed-volume pipettors, such as the 500 µL model (SKU 44C797), are specified with an accuracy of 0.2%. This level of accuracy is typical for manual fixed-volume pipettes and ensures consistent liquid delivery for routine laboratory tasks. The pipettes are calibrated at the factory and can be recalibrated in the field if needed.
