The IKA PEN electronic single-channel pipette (MPN 0020025103), with a volume range of 10 to 200 µl, covers the upper microlitre segment, which is frequently required in everyday laboratory work for larger reagent additions, buffer changes or the preparation of cell culture media. As an air cushion pipette with an electronic micro drive, it operates with a step size of 0.1 µl and is tested according to ISO 8655. With a net weight of 78 grams without the pipette tip, this model from the IKA PEN range, with its pen-shaped housing, remains pleasantly light in the hand, even when larger volumes need to be pipetted repeatedly during day-to-day work. This makes the model particularly suitable for workstations where larger individual volumes in the three-digit microlitre range are regularly required. The 0.1 µl increment is designed to meet practical requirements for this volume range and reliably covers the dosing needs typical of cell culture and buffer preparation.
Slim pen-style design even for larger volumes
Even in the higher microlitre range, the IKA PEN retains its slim, pen-shaped housing. The natural grip reduces strain on the forearm and wrist and is particularly noticeable when larger volumes have to be pipetted repeatedly during day-to-day work, for example when changing media in cell culture, preparing buffer solutions or loading several reaction vessels in succession. The low weight of 78 grams without the pipette tip helps ensure that even longer pipetting runs can be managed without noticeable fatigue. In laboratories with a rotating staff, users with different hand sizes also benefit equally from the slim, ergonomic design. The reduced hand fatigue is a particular advantage in cell culture work, where clean, controlled movements are essential.
DLC-coated stainless steel piston for consistent results
The piston, made of high-purity stainless steel, is sealed with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which reduces wear during continuous operation and increases chemical resistance to frequently pipetted media. At a nominal volume of 200 µl, the pipette achieves an accuracy of ±1.2 µl (±0.6 %) and a precision of ±0.4 µl (±0.2 %). At 10 % of the nominal volume, i.e. 20 µl, the accuracy and precision are ±0.5 µl (±2.5 %) and ±0.14 µl (±0.7 %) respectively. Even with larger volumes, this ensures that the volume delivery remains consistent throughout the entire pipetting process, which has a direct impact on the reproducibility of buffer preparations and medium changes. The shaft components are partially autoclavable, allowing the device to be integrated into existing cleaning procedures. For cell culture work under a laminar flow cabinet, this compatibility with standard cleaning and disinfection steps is a practical advantage.
App control and battery life in practical use
This model can also be paired with a smartphone or tablet via the IKA PEN app, which simplifies parameter setting. The replaceable lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 350 mAh at 3.7 V, enables up to 8 hours of operation with a charging time of around 3 hours, thus reliably covering even the busiest days in the laboratory. For laboratories using multiple IKA PEN pipettes, the app also makes it easier to keep track of the charge status and calibration history of the individual devices.
Traceability and quality assurance in everyday laboratory work
According to the datasheet, a conformity certificate in accordance with ISO 8655 is available for the IKA PEN. A factory calibration certificate is not part of the standard scope of delivery; IKA offers factory calibration certificates as a separately orderable service that is issued together with the product.
Typical applications
With a volume range of 10 to 200 µl, the IKA PEN is particularly suitable for work steps involving slightly larger individual volumes:
- Medium changes and reagent addition in cell culture
- Preparation of buffer solutions on a smaller scale
- Sample preparation for downstream analysis, such as dilutions prior to photometry
- Addition of substrates and reagents in assays in the higher microlitre range
- Laboratory practicals and training, where robust, easy-to-use pipettes are required
- Batch production of buffers in routine laboratories
- Filling and loading of reaction vessels for larger preparation volumes
- Preparation of standard solutions for instrumental analysis
