Efficient high-throughput sample processing The IKA PETTE multi 12 x 20–200 µl is tailored to the requirements of modern laboratories that process large volumes of samples in microtitre plates on a daily basis. With 12 channels and a variable volume range of 20 to 200 µl (adjustable in 0.2 µl increments), it enables the precise and time-saving filling of 96-well plates. The ergonomic design significantly reduces the manual effort required during long pipetting runs. Thanks to the three interchangeable grips included in the scope of delivery, the instrument can be individually adjusted to suit the user’s hand size, which improves balance and effectively prevents fatigue. Robustness and precision through DLC technology To ensure maximum durability and consistent precision, the pistons and tip cones of all 12 channels are made of stainless steel and finished with a high-quality DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This extremely hard, diamond-like surface is not only wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, but also minimises friction. The result is exceptionally smooth gliding action during pipetting and a reliable seal for the tips, channel by channel. Maximum hygiene and easy maintenance The IKA PETTE multi is fully autoclavable at 121 °C without the need for prior disassembly. This saves time and enhances process reliability in sterile working areas. For regular cleaning, the volumetric unit can be dismantled without tools.

Design meets precision: the IKA PETTE fix 20 µl for the most demanding requirements With the IKA PETTE fix 20 µl (MPN 0020011221), you get a fixed-volume pipette with an ergonomic design and a high level of functionality for your laboratory. This mechanical air-cushion pipette with a fixed volume of 20 µl has been specially developed for users who refuse to compromise on routine tasks. The fixed volume reduces the risk of adjustment errors, which can occur in the hectic day-to-day life of a laboratory. This makes the pipette a suitable tool for standardised processes in PCR, clinical diagnostics or analytical chemistry, where exactly 20 µl is required. Ergonomics reimagined: the interchangeable grip concept A key feature of the IKA PETTE series is its ergonomic concept with interchangeable grips. IKA supplies each pipette with three interchangeable grip recesses in different sizes and materials. Whether you have small or large hands, or are right- or left-handed. This pipette adapts to you, not the other way round. The special geometry enables a hand-friendly grip that minimises pressure on the thumb and palm. This is a crucial factor in preventing RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) during long pipetting sessions. The tip ejection mechanism is designed to be operated with minimal effort, which further reduces strain on the hand muscles. DLC coating: high-tech for durability Inside the IKA PETTE fix lies technology derived from high-performance mechanical engineering. The piston and tip cone are coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This extremely hard, diamond-like carbon coating not only makes the moving parts incredibly wear-resistant but also ensures they glide smoothly. Friction is minimised, which not only reduces the operating force required but also ensures that the pipette retains its calibration and precision even after thousands of cycles. Furthermore, DLC is extremely corrosion-resistant: aggressive media or vapours can hardly affect the internal components. Robust, shock-resistant and UV-resistant Laboratory equipment has to withstand a great deal. The IKA PETTE fix is therefore manufactured from high-quality, chemically resistant plastics. The housing is UV-resistant and shock-resistant. Should the pipette accidentally roll off the laboratory bench, its robust construction will generally withstand this mishap without any impairment to its function. For sterile working environments, the entire pipette is fully autoclavable (at 121 °C) without the need for time-consuming disassembly beforehand. This saves valuable time and reduces the risk of contamination. Extremely simple maintenance and calibration IKA has also taken maintenance into account. The volume unit can be detached from the handle in just a few simple steps, making cleaning straightforward. Should recalibration be necessary (for example, as part of test equipment monitoring in accordance with ISO 8655), this can be carried out without tools (!). This is a huge advantage over many competing products, which require special wrenches. The nominal volume is clearly legible on the pipette, which helps to prevent mix-ups on the pipette rack. Universal compatibility The tip cone of the IKA PETTE fix is designed to be compatible with pipette tips from most major manufacturers. This means you are not tied to a proprietary system, but can continue to use your existing standard tips (suitable for the 20 µl or 200 µl range, often yellow-coded).

The standard for 100 µl routines: IKA PETTE fix The IKA PETTE fix 100 µl (MPN 0020011224) is the workhorse for all standard laboratory applications. The 100-microlitre volume is found in almost every protocol, whether setting up enzyme reactions, adding buffers or preparing samples for HPLC. This is precisely where this fixed-volume pipette comes into its own: it cannot be adjusted accidentally and delivers accurate results day in, day out. Thanks to its high-quality construction and ergonomic design, it is the perfect choice for laboratories that prioritise durability, precision and staff wellbeing. Ergonomics that adapts One-size-fits-all solutions do not work in the laboratory, as every user has individual needs. IKA therefore supplies every PETTE fix with three interchangeable handles (sizes XS/S, M, L). Personalised fit: Whether you have small or large hands, changing the handle ensures the pipette always fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Stress-free working: The optimised design ensures that all controls (piston button, ejector) are accessible without having to reposition your hand. This minimises muscle tension and actively prevents RSI (repetitive strain injury), even during long pipetting sessions. Durability thanks to DLC technology To ensure that the pipette remains precise even after years of intensive use, IKA relies on high-tech materials. The dosing piston and tip cone are coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). This diamond-like carbon coating offers key advantages: Wear protection: The extremely hard surface is resistant to mechanical abrasion. The seal remains intact even after tens of thousands of cycles. Smooth operation: DLC has excellent sliding properties. Friction is minimised, which noticeably reduces the thumb force required during pipetting. Corrosion resistance: The coating effectively protects the stainless steel against aggressive chemicals, acids and salts. Hygiene without compromise: Fully autoclavable In molecular biology and microbiology, sterility is essential. The IKA PETTE fix 100 µl is designed so that it can be fully autoclaved (121 °C, 20 min), in the assembled state. There is no need for the tedious and error-prone task of dismantling the pipette before sterilisation. This saves valuable working time and reduces the risk that germs or traces of DNA are carried over. The high-performance plastics used are also UV-resistant and robust against common disinfectants. Universal compatibility (yellow tips) The tip cone of the IKA PETTE fix 100 µl is compatible with the widely used standard pipette tips (usually colour-coded yellow, up to 200 µl) from all major manufacturers. You are not tied to expensive specialised tips, but can continue to use your tried-and-tested consumables seamlessly. The cone is also designed to be impact-resistant, which reduces repair costs in the event of accidental drops. Maintenance and calibration Maintaining the IKA PETTE is extremely simple. The device can be cleaned in just a few simple steps if required. Should recalibration be necessary, for example for liquids with high viscosity or density, you can carry this out yourself without the need for tools. A red indicator shows when the factory setting has been altered, which can be helpful for documentation in a GMP/GLP environment.

The precision benchmark for 50 µl: IKA PETTE fix The IKA PETTE fix 50 µl (MPN 0020011223) sets a new benchmark for mechanical air-cushion pipettes in everyday laboratory work. The 50-microlitre volume is one of the most commonly used dispensing volumes in chemistry, biology and medical diagnostics, whether for dilution series, preparing buffer solutions or adding reagents in standard assays. The IKA PETTE fix was developed specifically for these high-frequency applications. It combines high repeatability with ergonomics that actively counteract signs of fatigue. As a fixed-volume model, it reduces the risk of setting errors, so that every pipetting operation delivers the defined volume, an indispensable advantage for standard operating procedures (SOPs). Ergonomics reimagined: the interchangeable handle system Arguably the most striking feature of the IKA PETTE series is its adaptability. A ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach rarely works for hand tools, as every user has different anatomical characteristics. IKA therefore supplies each pipette with three interchangeable grip inserts. These grips differ in size and shape. They can be swapped without tools and allow the pipette to be individually tailored to the user’s hand size (small, medium, large). The advantage: the pipette sits comfortably and naturally in the hand. The centre of gravity is optimally balanced. Gripping the tip ejector button requires no repositioning of the hand or stretching of the thumb. This significantly reduces muscle strain and helps prevent the dreaded RSI syndrome (‘mouse arm’ or ‘pipetting arm’), even during long pipetting sessions. High-tech materials for maximum service life A pipette is a precision instrument that is subjected to heavy mechanical stress. To ensure long-term accuracy, IKA relies on DLC-coated components. DLC stands for ‘Diamond-Like Carbon’. Both the dispensing piston and the tip cone (tip seat) are finished with this extremely hard material. The advantages of this technology are immense: Extreme hardness: The coating makes the moving parts resistant to abrasion. Even after tens of thousands of strokes, the system seals perfectly. Low friction: DLC has excellent sliding properties. This means you need to exert significantly less force to press the plunger down. This is easier on your thumb. Chemical resistance: The surface is inert and withstands aggressive vapours, acids or alkalis better than conventional stainless steel. Uncompromising hygiene: Fully autoclavable In sensitive fields such as molecular biology (PCR) or microbiology, sterility is paramount. Many pipettes have to be laboriously dismantled before they can be placed in the autoclave, often with the risk of small parts being lost or seals being damaged. The IKA PETTE fix 50 µl is fully autoclavable (at 121 °C for 20 minutes). You simply place the entire instrument in the steriliser. This saves valuable time and ensures maximum protection against contamination. In addition, the housing material is UV-resistant, which also allows for sterilisation under the UV lamp of a clean bench. Easy maintenance and calibration Should it nevertheless ever be necessary to service or clean the pipette (e.g. because liquid has been drawn into the shaft), the design is extremely user-friendly. The pipette can be dismantled in just a few simple steps. The piston and seal are easily accessible. Should an adjustment be necessary, for example because you are pipetting liquids with a density that differs significantly from that of water (e.g. glycerine), you can carry this out without tools. The calibration volume can be easily adjusted without having to send the device in for servicing. Universal compatibility The tip cone of the IKA PETTE fix 50 µl is designed to be compatible with pipette tips from almost all leading manufacturers. You are not forced to buy expensive proprietary tips, but can continue to use your existing standard tips (usually the yellow 200 µl tips). The cone is also shock-resistant, which minimises the need for costly repairs should it be accidentally dropped. Design and readability The design is geared towards ergonomics and legibility. The nominal volume “50 µl” is clearly marked on the pipette. As this is a fixed-volume pipette, the volume is fixed, which helps to prevent confusion in the hectic day-to-day of laboratory work. Every time you pick up the pipette, you can be sure: “That’s 50 µl, nothing else.” Technical data Type: Mechanical air-cushion pipette Design: Single-channel, fixed-volume Nominal volume: 50 µl Accuracy: ±0.4 % / ±0.2 µl Precision: ±0.2 % / ±0.1 µl Piston material: Stainless steel with DLC coating Cone: DLC-coated, universal fit Autoclavable: Yes, fully (121 °C) Ergonomics: 3 interchangeable handles included Weight: approx. 87 g Recommended tips: Standard 200 µl (yellow) Scope of delivery 1 x IKA PETTE fix 50 µl 3 x interchangeable handles (XS/S/M-L) 1 x calibration tool (for user adjustment) 1 x tube of silicone grease 1 x Operating instructions Individual requirements & accessories Are you looking for suitable pipette tips in bulk packs or racks?

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 special feature 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 is geared towards ergonomics. The nominal volume (25 µl) is clearly marked on the pipette, which helps to prevent 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. Technical data Type: Mechanical air-cushion pipette Type: Single-channel, fixed-volume Nominal volume: 25 µl Accuracy (systematic error): ±0.5 % / ±0.125 µl Precision (random error): ±0.2 % / ±0.05 µl Piston material: Stainless steel with DLC coating Tip cone: Universal fit (grey, suitable for standard tips up to 200 µl) Autoclavable: Yes, fully (121 °C) Ergonomics: 3 interchangeable handles included Weight: approx. 86 g Scope of delivery 1 x IKA PETTE fix 25 µl 3 x interchangeable grips (various sizes/shapes) 1 x calibration tool (for special adjustments) 1 x silicone grease 1 x operating instructions Individual requirements & accessories Do you need suitable pipette tips (sterile/non-sterile, with filter) or a suitable pipette stand (LINEA) for safe storage?

Promotional items from the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The crossed-out price is IKA’s recommended retail price. Our promotional price is net.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.

Precision for routine tasks: IKA PETTE fix 200 µl The IKA PETTE fix 200 µl (MPN 0020011225) is the ideal instrument for laboratory applications where medium volumes need to be dispensed with the highest repeatability. Whether in immunology (ELISA washing steps), microbiology or general chemistry, the volume of 200 microlitres is a standard measure. As a fixed-volume pipette, this model offers the decisive advantage of eliminating setting errors. This saves time, increases process reliability and supports consistent results with every pipetting operation. Ergonomics that fit: thanks to interchangeable handles A common problem in everyday laboratory work is wrist discomfort caused by ill-fitting tools. IKA has recognised and solved this problem: every PETTE fix is supplied with three interchangeable grips (in various shapes and sizes). Perfect fit: You can adjust the pipette precisely to the size of your hand, whether small, medium or large. Fatigue-free working: Thanks to the ergonomic design, all controls are within natural reach. The effort required for the pipetting stroke and tip ejection is minimal. This effectively prevents RSI syndrome (“mouse arm”) and enables relaxed working even at high sample throughputs. Durability thanks to high-tech materials (DLC) To ensure long-term precision and durability, IKA utilises state-of-the-art materials technology. The dispensing piston and tip cone are finished with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This coating offers three key advantages: Wear resistance: The diamond-like hardness protects against abrasion, ensuring the pipette remains leak-free and precise even after prolonged use. Low friction: The piston glides extremely smoothly, reducing the manual force required. Chemical resistance: The surface is resistant to aggressive media and acids. Fully autoclavable for maximum hygiene Sterility is crucial, particularly for sensitive analyses. The IKA PETTE fix 200 µl is fully autoclavable (121 °C, 20 min). What makes it special is that you do not need to dismantle the pipette to do this. Simply place the entire instrument into the autoclave. This eliminates errors during reassembly and saves valuable working time. Furthermore, the materials are UV-resistant and easy to clean. Compatibility and maintenance The universal tip cone is designed to provide a secure seal with standard pipette tips (usually 200 µl, yellow, or universal 300 µl) from all major manufacturers. You can continue to use your usual tips. Should maintenance or recalibration be required (e.g. for high-viscosity media), this can be carried out without the need for tools. The pipette is designed so that the piston and seal are easily accessible, which makes maintenance much simpler. Design and overview The design is geared towards ergonomics and legibility. The volume ‘200 µl’ is clearly marked on the pipette, which helps to prevent mix-ups in the workplace.

Promotional items from the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The price shown with a line through it is IKA’s recommended retail price. Our promotional price is net.With its volume range of 5 to 100 µl, the IKA PEN electronic single-channel pipette (MPN 0020025102) covers the mid-microlitre range, which is particularly frequently used in routine biochemical and biotechnological laboratory work, for example when pipetting reagents in ELISA procedures or when preparing dilution series for protein analysis. 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 excluding the pipette tip, the pen-shaped housing remains comfortably light in the hand even during long pipetting runs, setting it apart from traditional, heavier piston-operated pipettes. This makes the model particularly suitable for workstations where medium volumes are pipetted regularly in large sample numbers. The 0.1 µl increment, which is coarser than that of the ultra-low-volume variant in the series, is well suited to this volume range and reliably meets the dosing requirements typical of ELISA and protein assays. Slim pen-style design for long pipetting runs Instead of the classic pistol shape, this model in the IKA PEN range also features a slim, pen-shaped body. As a result, the grip feels more natural in the hand and reduces strain on the forearm and wrist, a particular advantage during routine operations where many samples need to be pipetted consecutively in consistent volumes, such as in screening tests, assay preparations or the loading of microtitre plates. Over the course of an entire pipetting run, the lower weight of 78 grams (excluding the pipette tip) results in a noticeably reduced strain on the hand and arm. In laboratories with rotating staff, the slim, ergonomic design also benefits users with different hand sizes equally. DLC-coated stainless steel piston for consistent volumes The piston, made of high-purity stainless steel, is coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer, which reduces friction during the piston stroke and ensures a chemically inert, low-wear surface. At a nominal volume of 100 µl, the pipette achieves an accuracy of ±0.8 µl (±0.8 %) and a precision of ±0.2 µl (±0.2 %). At 10 % of the nominal volume, i.e. 10 µl, the accuracy and precision are ±0.2 µl (±2.0 %) and ±0.1 µl (±1.0 %) respectively, which is relevant for dilution series with varying sub-volumes. Particularly in assay formats involving many parallel runs, consistent volume accuracy has a direct impact on the comparability of measurement results. Even with slightly more viscous reagents, this ensures that volume dispensing remains uniform throughout the entire pipetting process. The shaft components are partially autoclavable and can therefore be incorporated into standard laboratory cleaning and sterilisation routines. App control and battery life in practical use This pipette 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, lasts for up to 8 hours and is fully recharged in around 3 hours, allowing even longer series of measurements to be carried out without the need for recharging. For laboratories using several 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.
