Selecting the Right Pipettes for Your Lab

13 Nov, 2024

For over five decades, Gilson has been a leader in developing a wide variety of pipettes for clinical, forensic, drug discovery, chemistry, and other life science research and analysis protocols. For experiments that require reliable and accurate liquid handling during sample preparation, selecting the right pipettes is essential for achieving reproducible results. The choice of pipette for your lab will depend on the specific application, including factors such as the type of liquid, sampling volumes, task complexity, and the throughput required for your experiments.

Next, we'll discuss the best pipette types for your lab.

  • PIPETMAN® range: Recognised as the pipetting standard for its reliability and proven durability, PIPETMAN® combines legendary accuracy, precision, and durability with easy pipetting and handling. 
  • PIPETMAN® L range: Designed for performance and comfort, PIPETMAN® L offers a comprehensive range of models, adapted to all your needs.  
  • MyPIPETMAN® range: Ergonomic, safe, and reliable, MyPIPETMAN® Select offers volume setting choice and optional handle personalisation for an optimal use in various protocols. 
  • MICROMAN® E Pipettes for Viscous or Volatile Liquids: The positive displacement pipette, together with disposable Capillary Pistons (CPs), MICROMAN® E offers the highest precision and accuracy when handling viscous, volatile, foaming, hot or cold, radioactive, or infectious liquids.
