Used Pipetting Systems in Germany

Overview

Pipetting systems are automated or manual devices for transferring precise liquid volumes in laboratories. They range from single-channel handheld pipettes to high-throughput robotic platforms for screening and sample preparation. Key features include accuracy, repeatability, volume range, and compatibility with tips and plates. They’re essential for molecular biology, diagnostics, drug discovery, and QA/QC workflows where consistent pipetting reduces error and increases throughput.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a pipetting system?

Check accuracy and precision specs, required volume range, throughput needs, tip and plate compatibility, software integration, service history (for used units), and availability of consumables and spare parts.

How should a pipetting system be shipped?

Decontaminate liquids, secure the instrument in original or cushioned packaging, protect sensitive optics/electronics, control temperature if needed, and use a carrier experienced with lab equipment and insurance.

What maintenance does a pipetting system need?

Regular calibration, seal and piston inspection, routine cleaning and decontamination, software updates, and preventive service contracts for robotic platforms to ensure long-term accuracy.
