An expert solution for pipetting complex liquids
Gilson's Microman® E series represents a new generation of positive displacement pipettes, specifically designed to meet the most stringent requirements of laboratories handling atypical liquids. Unlike conventional air displacement pipettes, Microman® E incorporates a disposable capillary piston system that comes into direct contact with the sample. This system guarantees maximum accuracy even with viscous liquids (such as glycerine), volatile liquids (such as alcohol), dense liquids or liquids with high surface tension (such as protein solutions or organic solvents).
The major innovation in this range is the perfect isolation between the aspirated liquid and the pipette body. This design eliminates any risk of aerosolisation or cross-contamination between samples. Thanks to the quick and easy replacement of the capillary piston after each use, user safety is also ensured, particularly when handling biological or pathogenic samples.
The Microman® E series comprises six models covering volumes from 1 µL to 1000 µL. All are equipped with a direct-reading volumeter, an ergonomic push button with colour coding according to volume, and a fine adjustment knob. Each pipette is permanently adjusted to the corresponding capillary type, ensuring optimal compatibility and consistent performance without the need for recalibration when replacing the CP.
In addition, the robust design of the materials used (PVDF, stainless steel, polyester, etc.) makes the pipettes resistant to chemical corrosion and easy to decontaminate. The pipette requires no lubrication, which reduces maintenance and enhances long-term reliability.
Its accuracy is validated under strict laboratory conditions. The Microman® E is therefore highly regarded by researchers and technicians in the fields of molecular biology, analytical chemistry and microbiology.
