"Pipet-Lite XLS is a stylish, authoritative and sturdy pipette with a smooth action."
Having a reliable and easy to use set of pipettes is essential for every researcher and, although they are the unsung heroes, they are undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of equipment used in everyday research. Inaccurate and cumbersome to use pipettes can make life difficult at more than one level and therefore, choosing the right pipettes is crucial. Having tried almost every pipette on the market, my lab seems to be divided between the Eppendorf, Finnpipette and Gilson brands. Ignoring special offers, all three can be purchased for essentially the same price and so it’s all down to personal preference. Having started in the lab in the early eighties, I was a traditional Gilson user but I was keen to test the accuracy, reliability, and robustness of the new Pipet-Lite XLS series to determine if they were as good as they looked.
The range of liquid handling from 0.2 μL (L-2XLS) up to 20 mL (L-20MLXLS) is impressive to say the least and covers every possible experimental need. I was particularly pleased to see the pipette range include volumes not catered for by the other brands e.g. L-300XLS and L-2000XLS. The accuracy was excellent and I experienced no shift in the pipette volume because of the locking system even after a large number of samples. The Pipet-Lite XLS is certainly not cheap and flimsy but a stylish, authoritative and sturdy piece of equipment with a smooth action and easy to read display that is remarkably easy to use and clean. The only downside I noted was the fact that the metal plunger and spring were uncoated making the pipette unsuitable for use with corrosive fluids, so maybe there should be a warning to unsuspecting users or an alternative model could be sold for such applications. These pipettes come with radio frequency identification as standard and, although a nice idea, I didn’t see it as a particularly useful feature but it might have its uses in another lab. After having used the Pipet-Lite XLS for an hour, I switched back to my Gilson pipette and was amazed at the difference in resistance and how much pressure I had to exert to dispense and the stiffness of the Gilson tip ejection.
I fully recommend the Pipet-Lite XLS as a nice to handle, low resistance pipette for everyday use and I am sure that once you have tried them you will assign your old ones to the drawer - just as I have.
Manual positive displacement pipette. Gilson MICROMAN® M1000 for the volumes 100-1000ul
Gilson MICROMAN® M1000 Positive Displacement Pipette. It dispenses a volume range of 100-1000ul.
Gilson’s MICROMAN® is a fully adjustable, positive-displacement pipette that, together with its disposable capillary pistons (CPs), will ensure accuracy and precision
Ideal for problem liquids: samples that are viscous, dense, volatile or potentially dangerous (e.g., gels, plasmids, solvents, whole blood). MICROMAN® is widely used in molecular biology, forensic science and PCR studies, as well as petrochemistry, food & beverage, cosmetics, etc.
Contamination-free pipetting and protection for the user—no contact between the sample and the pipette, even when aerosols or corrosive vapors are present.
Every MICROMAN® is engraved with an identification number and each pack of capillary pistons bears a batch number for traceability.
MICROMAN® is particularly well suited for use in the sensitive molecular biology field and for use with hazardous or radioactive compounds.
Combining the versatility of positive displacement with the security of no touch disposable capillaries and pistons. Safe, accurate pipetting even for liquids than other pipettes just can't aspirate.
Capillary Pistons (CP): CP1000
Capillary Pistons (CPs) are disposable and dedicated for use with Gilson's MICROMAN® pipette. CPs are available in pre-assembled, sterilized and racked models.
No need for calibration when you change the CP
Continuous volume adjustment and direct digital display
Slim CP fits in even the narrowest and deepest tubes.
CP1000 tips are manufactured and packed by machine, which means they are free of contamination from nucleases or nucleic acids.
CP1000 tips are available racked in Tipack™ boxes for added protection.
Three CP models are available sterilized: CP1000ST. These models are certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, RNA, DNA and protease. The convenient hinged box protects virgin sterilized CPs from airborne contaminants.
