  • Bulb Draw - Each Pastette in the range is shown with the maximum liquid volume that can be drawn in a single transfer.
  • Tip Design - Alternative tip sizes allow you to choose smaller drop sizes in a variety of tip lengths, where work with small volumes and delicate applications is critical
  • Drop Volumes - All Pastettes are accurate to +/-10% of the stated specification allowing you to deliver µl drops of known volumes
  • Graduations - Graduated pastettes allow you to quickly and easily deliver measured volumes
