Anachem is distributing the Gilson Microman positive displacement pipette in the UK.
Microman is fully adjustable and uses disposable capillary pistons (CPs) to ensure sample security.
The syringe-like Microman CPs eliminate any air space between the pipette body and the sample, protecting it against contamination and any trace carry-over.
This is essential for critical procedures such as PCR, forensics, cancer diagnostics and genetic disease testing.
With no elastic air space to expand or contract, the aspiration force remains constant, unaffected by the physical properties of the sample.
This means even very viscous or high-density liquids such as 50 per cent glycerol solutions, detergents, oil, syrup or even toothpaste can be easily pipetted with accuracy and precision.
The risk of pipette damage from aggressive solvents is eliminated, as the sample or its vapours cannot come into contact with the Microman internal parts.
Similarly, there is no risk of contaminating the pipette when working with hazardous materials such as radioactive compounds.
Available in six models from M10 (1-10 microlitres) up to M1000 (200-1000 microlitres), it is light (only 50g) and designed to adapt to all users, right- or left-handed.
It offers a full range of precision quality pipettes for every sample type.
