Mechanical Pipettes

Choose a pipette whose adjustable range covers the volumes you dispense most often, since accuracy suffers at the extreme ends of a pipette's range.

A fully autoclavable pipette can be sterilised as a complete unit, important for microbiology or clinical work where cross-contamination is a concern.

Pipette tips are not universal across brands, so check which tip sizes and fits are compatible with the pipette before ordering in bulk.

A light plunger action and ergonomic grip reduce hand strain when pipetting repeatedly through a long run of samples.

Pricing depends mainly on volume range and build quality. Browse this collection to compare current pricing across our range.

A well-maintained mechanical pipette used within its stated volume range typically delivers accuracy within a fraction of a percent, suitable for analytical work.

A mechanical pipette is operated by a manual plunger, while an electronic pipette uses a motor to draw and dispense liquid at the press of a button.

Fully autoclavable models can be sterilised as a complete unit. Check the specific product listing to confirm whether a model supports full autoclaving.

Most labs calibrate mechanical pipettes every six to twelve months, or more often in high-use analytical settings, to keep dispensed volumes accurate.
