CAPPTrio fixed volume pipette is world’s only fixed pipette with multiple interchangeable fixed volumes within one pipette unit! The volume mechanism of this fixed pipette is placed in the small, detachable volume knob on the top of the pipette. CAPPTrio fixed volume pipettes come with 3 fixed volume knobs, allowing you to easily switch from one fixed volume to the other by simply removing the volume knob and putting the other one onto the pipette. CAPPTrio fixed volume micropipette is ideal for routine work. All CAPP fixed volume micropipettes are fully autoclavable expect for the detachable volume knobs. You can easily clean them with commonly used cleaning and disinfection agents.
CAPPTrio fixed volume micropipettes are also available in customized volumes. Additionally each CAPP fixed volume pipette can be easily upgraded to a variable volume pipette, simply by putting the variable volume knob onto the pipette. Having bought CAPPTrio fixed volume pipette, you can always order additional variable volume knobs with CAPP.

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.
