Liquid Handling

MIDSCI has a full line of liquid handling products including laboratory pipettes, pipette tips, pipettors, reagent reservoirs, aspiration systems, and pipette controllers.

Some liquid handling products are known to have safety issues and others are prone to errors that lead to poor results. 
  
Our liquid handling products keep in mind the basics, like price and quality, but also go one step further to solve or pre-empt these and other issues researchers (and even the planet) may face. 
  
For instance, the aspiration systems we stock are known for performance but also for safety. Our pipettor calibration service ensures reproducible results. We carry unbreakable transfer pipettes that avoid glass hazards. And we even have eco-friendly reagent reservoirs!

PR1MA™ Low Retention Graduated Pipette Tips

 

PR1MA™ Pipette Tips were meticulously designed using a specially formulated NoStick® resin to provide researchers with the highest level of liquid handling performance. PR1MA™ Pipette Tips were created with the belief that when it comes to liquid handling, less is more.

  • Less Fluid Retention
  • Less Sample Loss
  • Less Time Spent
  • Less Plastic Wasted

 

PR1MA™ Pipette Tips are produced under strict controls and an ISO9001-certified Quality Assurance process. They are manufactured with a state-of-the-art fully automated tip manufacturing, filtering, and inspecting which is incomparable in our industry.

Low Retention

The PR1MA™ NoStick® tips offer users an even higher degree of fluid confidence and control. The inner surface of our NoStick® tip is considerably more hydrophobic than standard industry tips enabling viscous fluids to be dispensed more completely. Less fluid retention. Less sample loss. PR1MA™ tips prove that less is more when it comes to liquid handling!

 

 

Clean Liquid Release

PR1MA™ tips are purposely designed for a much cleaner liquid release. Less time spent waiting for the final drop to fall from the end of a tip. Our thinner walls and more finely tapered tip construction will eliminate the need to touch off. Users will maintain complete fluid control working with smaller Vols, and yet will not have to compromise their pipetting accuracy or precision.
 

  • High-clarity, virgin polypropylene meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 & USP Class VI.
  • Proprietary NoStick® resin technology facilitates clean release.
  • Filtered tips have a hydrophobic HDPE barrier that won’t contaminate or impede airflow.
  • For use in the pharmaceutical and food industry, and molecular biology.
  • Certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, DNA, PCR inhibitors, and tested pyrogen-free. Sterile product is certified endotoxin-free.

PR1MA™ Starter Kit

 

The PR1MA™ Starter Kit is a comprehensive package that includes everything required to get started with accurate and reproducible pipetting. With this kit, you can ensure that your liquid handling tasks are consistent and precise. The PR1MA Starter Kit is perfect for new labs and customers who want to upgrade their existing pipetting equipment.

 

The PR1MA Starter Kit is different from other liquid handling starter kits because it contains four pipettes that cover a wide volume range of 0.5 µl to 1,000 µl. These pipettors are designed to provide accurate and reproducible results, and they are perfect for a wide range of applications. The pipettor volumes include 0.5 to 10 µl, 2.0 to 20 µl, 20 to 200 µl, and 100 to 1,000 µl.

 

In addition to the pipettes, the PR1MA Starter Kit includes three racks of PR1MA Low-Retention Pipette Tips. These tips are specially designed to reduce sample retention and ensure accurate and precise pipetting. The kit also includes a six-position carousel stand that can hold all four pipettes and a PR1MA Backpack for easy transport.

 

This kit offers over $250.00 in savings compared to purchasing the kit components separately!


 

Kit Includes:

  • 4 – Alphapette™ by PR1MA Pipettors (10 μL, 20 μL, 200 μL, 1,000 μL)*
  • 3 – Racks of PR1MA Low-Binding Pipette Tips (1 each: 10 μL, 200 μL, 1,250 μL tips)*

PR1MA™ Pipette Controller
 

  • With QuickStand™ Retractable Stand
  • Variable Speed Control
  • Cordless and rechargeable
  • 8 hours of continuous operation
  • For pipettes from 1 mL to 100 mL
  • 2-year warranty

PR1MA™ Pipet Controllers are lightweight (only 6.3oz/170g) and designed to fit comfortably in either the right or the left hand. The natural feel of the ergonomic body design, the computer balanced weight distribution and the low-pressure fingertip control buttons... all combine to provide a more comfortable pipetting experience.

The attached QuickStand™, retractable kickstand, allows the controller to stand on the bench without removing or emptying the serological pipet. The stand also holds the pipet at an angle which prevents the flowing of liquid to the filter and nosepiece. When it's not being used, the QuickStand™ flips back into neutral position where it doesn't interfere with normal operation.

A long-life rechargeable lithium (environmentally friendly) battery keeps the controller running for up to 8 hours or 2500 pipettings on a single two-hour charge. PR1MA™ Pipette Controller's easy-fit silicone nosepiece accepts pipette sizes from 1 mL to 100 mL. With its light-weight advanced ergonomics, continuously variable electronic speed adjustment and extended lithium battery life, the PR1MA™ Pipette Controller is the logical choice for comfort, convenience and value.
