Choosing the Right Pipette
Applications
Consider your budget and the type of work you will be doing with your pipette. Some models are better suited to certain tasks than others.
Ask yourself:
Do you pipette for long periods?
Do you handle bio-hazardous samples?
Do you performing multi-dispensing routines?
Will the pipette be subjected to rough treatment?
