Ergonomics meets precision: the IKA PETTE fix 25 µl
The IKA PETTE fix 25 µl (MPN 0020011222) is far more than just a simple dosing instrument. It is the result of intensive ergonomic studies and innovations in materials science. In modern laboratories, where staff often carry out hundreds of pipetting operations a day, precision and physical comfort are inextricably linked. With the PETTE series, IKA has created a pipette that not only delivers exact volumes but also fits perfectly in the user’s hand – whether they are right- or left-handed, and regardless of hand size. As a fixed-volume variant with a 25 µl capacity, this model is ideally suited to high-frequency routine tasks in diagnostics, molecular biology or analytical chemistry, where accidental adjustment of the volume must be prevented.
Personalised ergonomics through interchangeable grips
A truly unique selling point of the IKA PETTE series is its adaptability. Every hand is different. A pipette that fits a large hand perfectly may feel awkward for a small hand. IKA solves this problem with three interchangeable grips in various shapes and sizes, which are included in the scope of delivery. These grips can be changed in just a few simple steps. This ensures that the pipette always sits perfectly in the palm of the hand, that the ejection button is easily accessible, and that muscle strain (RSI syndrome) is effectively prevented. The ejection button itself is multifunctional: it is used for dispensing and ejecting the tip, with the force required minimised thanks to an intelligent mechanism.
High-tech materials: DLC coating
The inner workings of the IKA PETTE fix are designed for extreme durability. The piston and tip cone are coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). What does this mean for you? DLC is an extremely hard, diamond-like form of carbon. It makes the components:
- Wear-resistant: Precision is maintained even after thousands of cycles.
- Low-friction: The piston glides smoothly, significantly reducing the thumb force required.
- Corrosion-resistant: The coating is chemically inert and withstands aggressive media far better than bare stainless steel.
Uncompromising hygiene: Fully autoclavable
Hygiene is non-negotiable in the laboratory. Many pipettes must be dismantled before they can be placed in the autoclave – this takes time and carries the risk that they may be reassembled incorrectly or become out of calibration afterwards. The IKA PETTE fix 25 µl is fully autoclavable (121 °C, 20 min) without needing to be dismantled. This makes decontamination child’s play and ensures safety. Furthermore, the plastics used are UV-resistant and chemical-resistant, enabling trouble-free cleaning with standard laboratory disinfectants.
Robustness and Design
The design of the IKA PETTE has been honoured with the German Design Award and the iF Design Award. Yet here, form follows function: the large display clearly shows the nominal volume (25 µl), preventing mix-ups in the hectic day-to-day routine. The tip cone is designed to be compatible with pipette tips from most major manufacturers. This means you are not tied to expensive specialised tips, but can continue to use your usual consumables.
Maintenance and calibration made easy
Should recalibration be necessary (e.g. for special liquids with different viscosities), this can be carried out on the IKA PETTE without the need for tools. This saves time and avoids external service costs. The pipette is designed so that the piston and seal are easily accessible for cleaning or lubrication (using the silicone grease supplied).
Why fixed-volume?
In standardised processes (SOPs), such as the addition of enzymes or reagents to PCR master mixes, the fixed-volume pipette is often superior to the variable-volume pipette.
- Error-proofing: The volume cannot be accidentally adjusted.
- Speed: No time is lost adjusting the volume.
- Calibration stability: As there is no adjustment mechanism, the design is more robust and less prone to drift.

Matching pipette tips
The IKA electronic pipettes PEN 5-100 µl and PEN 10-200 µl share the same tip family. IKA Tip 200 µl tips are available in three packaging forms, from a bag for day-to-day routine work through the ordered 10x96 box to a sterile, filtered version for contamination-sensitive work.The bag with 1000 unsterile tips suits daily routine work without particular sterility requirements. The box with 960 tips in ten racks of 96 makes ordered removal at the bench easier. The Tip s box + variant provides 1920 sterile tips with a filter that retains aerosols, protecting both the sample from contamination by the pipette and the pipette from contamination by the sample, for example during PCR preparation or with sensitive biological samples.CompatibilityOfficial accessory for the IKA PEN 5-100 µl (MPN 0020025102) and IKA PEN 10-200 µl (MPN 0020025103) single-channel electronic pipettes, both pipettes use the same tip family.The tips also fit the IKA PETTE vario 2-20 µl, 10-100 µl and 20-200 µl, the PETTE fix 20, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µl, the PETTE MicroKits A and B, the PETTE Classic Kit and the PETTE multi 8 and 12 x 10-100 µl and 20-200 µl multichannel pipettes (box versions).Technical detailsIKA Tip 200 µl bag1000 pcs./bag, non-sterileIKA Tip 200 µl box960 pcs., non-sterile, polypropylene, autoclavableTip s box +1920 pcs., sterile, with filter (aerosol protection)Contents of the package1 x IKA Tip 200 µl packaging unit in the selected version (bag, box or Tip s box +).Individual requirements & procurement serviceFor the smaller PEN 0.5-10 µl pipette we also carry the matching IKA Tip 10 µl tips.
