Micropipet Specifications

The standard overall length of most micropipets is 5.4-5.8 cm. Biopsy, Stem Cell and Piezo Drill micropipets are 5.5-6.5cm. Customized micropipets may be ordered in lengths up to 9.0cm.

Micropipets are seated in santoprene caps (various colors indicate the type of micropipet), and covered with a polystyrene tube that fits into the cap and forms a microbial barrier. Used by our customers for over 10 years, this packaging has been extensively tested for toxicity and integrity. Humagen packages 10 micropipets in a clear plastic box with a cushion. The box is labeled and shrink-wrapped and includes a radiation indicator on the bottom of the box. A red indicator provides assurance that the product has been gamma radiated. Following final packaging, the micropipets are stored at room temperature (20-25°C). A colored dot may be found on beveled micropipets. This dot is used during production for orientation of the micropipet's beveled opening. Some users may find this dot useful for orienting the micropipet in their micromanipulation system.
