IKA PETTE fix 1000 µl single-channel pipette, fixed volume, autoclavable, 0020011228

The 1 ml benchmark for efficiency: IKA PETTE fix 1000 µl

The IKA PETTE fix 1000 µl (MPN 0020011228) is the indispensable tool for all work in the millilitre range. Whether you’re pipetting culture media for cell cultures, preparing buffer solutions or dispensing reagents on a large scale – the 1,000 µl (1 ml) volume is ubiquitous. As a fixed-volume pipette, this model guarantees maximum process reliability. As the volume cannot be adjusted, deviations due to operator error are ruled out. You obtain the exact defined volume with every stroke, which is invaluable particularly for repetitive tasks in quality control or production.

Ergonomics for every hand

Pipetting large volumes often requires longer stroke lengths. This makes perfect handling all the more important. IKA also supplies this model with three interchangeable grips.

• Customisable: By choosing the right handle (XS/S, M, L), the pipette sits comfortably in your hand, whether you have small or large hands.
• Gentle operation: The ergonomic design ensures that your thumb can reach the piston knob and the eject button without straining. The force required is minimal, which reduces strain on the tendons and allows for relaxed working throughout the day.

DLC technology: Robustness redefined

A 1000 µl pipette must be robust. Inside, IKA uses components that are built to last a lifetime. The piston and tip cone are coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This high-tech finish offers key advantages:

1. Wear-free: The extremely hard carbon coating prevents abrasion. The pipette remains leak-proof and precise for years.
2. Sliding properties: DLC drastically reduces friction. The piston slides with almost no resistance, which improves the pipetting feel (‘smoothness’) and minimises the force required from the thumb.
3. Resistance: The coating is chemically inert and protects against corrosion caused by aggressive vapours or liquids.

Maximum hygiene: Fully autoclavable

Sterility is absolutely essential, particularly in cell culture laboratories or in microbiology. The IKA PETTE fix 1000 µl can be fully autoclaved (121 °C, 20 min) without the need for laborious disassembly beforehand. This not only saves time but also eliminates sources of error during reassembly. The robust materials are also UV-resistant and resistant to aggressive disinfectants.

Compatibility (blue tips)

The tip cone has a universal design and fits standard 1000 µl pipette tips (colour code: blue) from all leading manufacturers. You can continue to use your existing stock of tips without any problems. The cone is made from robust, impact-resistant material, which increases its durability in the demanding day-to-day laboratory environment.

Maintenance and Calibration

The IKA PETTE fix is designed for easy maintenance. The piston and seal are easily accessible for cleaning. Recalibration (e.g. for viscous media) can be carried out without tools – a major advantage over many competing products, which require special wrenches.
