Product information "IKA PETTE vario single-channel pipette, variable 2–20 µl, 0020011213"
Precision for molecular biology applications
The IKA PETTE vario 2–20 µl is the standard instrument for precise pipetting tasks in molecular biology laboratories. With a volume range of 2 to 20 µl and ultra-fine incrementation of 0.02 µl, it is ideal for setting up PCR reactions, dispensing DNA/RNA samples or pipetting enzymes and buffers. The ergonomic design, featuring interchangeable grips in three sizes, ensures that the pipette fits perfectly in your hand, regardless of whether you are right- or left-handed. This noticeably minimises hand strain, even during long pipetting runs.
Durability thanks to high-tech materials
To ensure maximum resistance to aggressive chemicals and mechanical stress, the piston and tip cone are made of stainless steel and additionally coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This diamond-like carbon coating is extremely wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The housing, made from high-performance polymers (PPS and PVDF), is resistant to UV radiation and solvents. The universal tip holder (colour code: yellow) is compatible with standard pipette tips and filter tips from most major manufacturers.
Maximum hygiene and process reliability
For sterile work in cell culture or microbiology, the IKA PETTE vario offers a decisive advantage: it is fully autoclavable at 121 °C without the need for prior disassembly. Cleaning is completed in just a few simple steps thanks to the tool-free disassembly of the volume unit. Adjustment can also be carried out by the user independently and without special tools, which makes it considerably easier to comply with ISO 8655 standards in day-to-day laboratory work.

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)Scope of delivery1 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.
