With the new CAPPSolo 8- and 12-channel mechanical pipettes, life science research just got exciting!

Mechanical Pipettes with dependable accuracy

CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes are painstakingly crafted to ensure industry-standard pipetting accuracy and precision over long usage cycles. Each channel of CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes is fine-tuned to ensure volume accuracy and comparability with all other channels. This also translates to dependable accuracy when pipetting the same volume multiple times with each multichannel pipette.

Ergonomic Multichannel Pipettes

Just like single channel CAPPSolo mechanical pipettes, the multichannel pipettes are equipped with a comfortable plunger and a lightweight chassis. These features reduce the chances of suffering from repetitive strain injuries when using CAPPSolo mechanical pipettes for protracted periods of time. A colorful soft grip finger rest also adds a comfortable and secure grip to the multichannel pipettes that minimizes accidental drops.

Robust Multichannel Pipettes

CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes are manufactured with a robust metal body that is built to last. With the brand-new design approach these mechanical pipettes retain their calibration settings for longer than the average multichannel pipettes on the market. This unique metal fabrication also increases their liquid transfer precision and accuracy. The best part of this is that these multichannel pipettes are competitively priced, giving you the best value for money of any multichannel pipette on the market.

Customizable Mechanical Pipettes

All CAPPSolo mechanical pipettes can be customized using the removable color-coded rubber inserts. This nifty little feature is great for shared lab spaces as they allow tagging of individuals to certain mechanical pipettes. The rubber inserts can also be used to organize multichannel pipettes by volume capacity and number of channels. This makes it extremely easy to pick the right pipette at a glance – something that will be appreciated by anyone that’s ever had to run multiple PCR plates in quick succession.

Multichannel Pipettes with large volume range

Both 8- and 12-channel variants of CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes offer great pipetting volume flexibility. Low capacity models of these mechanical pipettes offer pipetting volumes ranging from 0.5 – 10 µL for each individual channel. The high capacity CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes on the other hand, offer pipetting volumes ranging from 30 – 300 µL. Whatever volume you use, CAPPSolo multichannel pipettes have you covered.

Mechanical pipettes vs. electronic

Choosing between mechanical pipettes and electronic pipettes may seem quite daunting but at CAPP we make the choice easy. CAPP mechanical pipettes are a great option for budget-restricted laboratories as they maximize savings without compromising scientific output. Mechanical pipettes are faster to set up and make it easy to transfer small volumes with ease. Electronic pipettes are great for speeding up multi-sample liquid transfers. With automated dispensing and programmable features, CAPP electronic pipettes increase efficiency by optimizing pipetting workflows.

Ergonomics of CAPP mechanical pipettes

CAPP mechanical pipettes offer excellent ergonomics for industry-leading pipetting comfort. A contoured body provides users extra comfort when handling CAPP mechanical pipettes. Additionally, CAPP mechanical pipettes have a low thumb load to minimize the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI) when aspirating liquids. The piston stroke on each mechanical pipette is precision engineered for smoothness and thus it also lowers the risk of RSI. CAPP mechanical pipettes also feature a robust and lightweight chassis that allows users to transfer liquids for extended periods without getting fatigued.

Cleaning and preventing contamination with a mechanical pipette

CAPP mechanical pipettes are designed to minimize the chances of sample contamination but when accidents happen, the pipettes are easy to clean. For routine maintenance, rubbing the mechanical pipette with water and a mild detergent will remove most contamination. Alternatively, you can use 60-70% ethanol for even faster decontamination. The external and internal materials used to manufacture CAPP mechanical pipettes are also autoclave-ready. This means that you can simply add CAPP pipettes to your autoclaving workflows for fast and effective sterilization of each mechanical pipette. To keep your mechanical pipette free of contamination we also recommend using ExpellPlus filtered pipette tips.

Single- or multichannel mechanical pipette?

CAPP mechanical pipets come in single-channel and multichannel varieties, and they are designed for different purposes. Single-channel mechanical pipets are an excellent choice for many low-throughput liquid transfers in the laboratory. This includes all single-tube applications, large volume transfers (>1ml) and certain specialty applications that require high-level motor skills (e.g., gel loading). Multichannel mechanical pipettes are the best choice for high throughput liquid transfers involving multi-well sample plates. Examples of such applications include PCR plate reaction preparations and PCR strip transfers. As their name suggests, multichannel mechanical pipettes allow users to increase their efficiency by transferring liquids from reagent reservoirs into multiple sample wells all in one go. Learn more about how CAPP’s innovative multichannel mechanical pipets can improve your lab’s efficiency.

Fixed or variable mechanical pipette?

Most mechanical pipettes feature an adjustable volume mechanism that allows users to transfer variable volumes. Variable volume mechanical pipettes offer excellent flexibility and cost savings by reducing the number of mechanical pipets required on a workstation. However, variable volume pipettes are prone to user error, and this can reduce their accuracy and reliability in volume-sensitive applications. In such use cases, fixed volume mechanical pipets offer greater reliability as they always transfer a fixed volume of liquid with each aspiration. Fixed volume mechanical pipettes are also an excellent choice for routine protocols that require transferring a set volume of liquid. CAPPTrio fixed volume mechanical pipettes combine the best of both worlds by offering interchangeable fixed volume knobs for quick and easy switching between volumes.
