Using a Micropipette in Your Laboratory – Complete Guide by LABOLIT
Published by LABOLIT – Precision Liquid Handling Solutions
What is a Micropipette?
A micropipette is a precision laboratory instrument designed to accurately measure and transfer very small volumes of liquids, generally ranging from 0.1 µL to 10,000 µL. It is one of the most important tools used in scientific laboratories where accuracy, repeatability, and contamination-free liquid handling are essential.
Whether you are working in research, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food testing, or educational laboratories, a high-quality micropipette ensures reliable and reproducible results.
At LABOLIT, we manufacture premium-quality micropipettes that combine precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and long-lasting performance to meet the demanding requirements of modern laboratories across India and international markets.

How to Use a Micropipette Correctly
Following the proper pipetting technique improves accuracy and extends instrument life.
Step 1
Select the correct micropipette according to the required volume.
Step 2
Adjust the desired volume using the adjustment knob.
Step 3
Attach a compatible sterile pipette tip firmly.
Step 4
Press the plunger to the first stop.
Step 5
Immerse the tip slightly below the liquid surface.
Step 6
Release the plunger slowly to aspirate the sample.
Step 7
Move the pipette to the destination container.
Step 8
Press the plunger to the first stop and then to the second stop to completely dispense the liquid.
Step 9
Remove and safely discard the used pipette tip using the ejector.
Best Practices for Accurate Pipetting
To achieve reliable laboratory results:
- Always use the correct pipette volume range.
- Pre-wet the tip before dispensing.
- Hold the pipette vertically while aspirating.
- Avoid air bubbles.
- Dispense smoothly without sudden movements.
- Use fresh sterile tips.
- Change tips between different samples.
- Never exceed the recommended volume range.
- Calibrate regularly.
Micropipette Care and Maintenance
Proper maintenance increases accuracy and extends instrument lifespan.
Daily Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior with 70% IPA or ethanol.
- Remove any liquid residue immediately.
Proper Storage
Always store the micropipette vertically on a pipette stand.
Avoid Mechanical Damage
Never drop the pipette or force the volume adjustment mechanism.
Regular Calibration
Routine calibration ensures consistent measurement accuracy and compliance with laboratory standards.
