Quick, Accurate And Stress-Free Pipetting That Persists ― Now For A Volume As Large As 10 ML

A&D has recently added a large volume model, the MPA-10000, to their MPA series of single channel electronic pipettes. It has a capacity of 10 mL (10,000 μL) and can dispense from as small as 0.1 mL. Among many, the following are the top five reasons why researchers should choose the MPA-10000 instead of its mechanical counterparts:

1. Automatic control ensures accuracy for everyone at all times

Unlike mechanical pipettes, dispensed quantities will not vary with each person or each pipetting motion, making anyone’s assays always reliable. In other words, novice pipette users can realize the same level of precision as experts (and in reality, it is difficult for even experts to maintain a consistent pipetting motion over an extended period of time).

2. Minimal stress, pain-free operation prevents errors due to fatigue

The MPA-10000 is unique in that it is possible to control the plunger by lightly pressing a key with the ball of the forefinger (like pulling a trigger), while maintaining all fingers in a natural, effortless grip. In fact, A&D’s in-house experiment verified that no hand-aching occurs at all after 3,000 repeated pipettings over a 5 hour period.

3. Various useful pipetting functions, including multiple dispensing to a maximum of 99 times

When the volume for one dispensing is set to 0.1 mL, the MPA-10000 can perform 99 consecutive dispensings with a single aspiration, enabling researchers to fill all 96 microplate wells in one go. Multiple dispensing as well as other functions such as mixing and reverse operations will dramatically increase work efficiency while preventing operational mistakes.

4. Easy calibration and adjustment by users themselves, either by volume (mL) or weight (mg) (patent pending)

All users need to do is simply input the correct volume measured by a balance (A&D’s pipette accuracy testers are recommended) into the MPA-10000. Meanwhile, calibration and pipetting based on the weight of the sample liquid eliminates the hassle of density calculations when diluting liquid and solid/powder, etc.

5. Extremely affordable

Finally, despite all the advantages the MPA-10000 can bring, the price is almost comparable, if not cheaper, to those of name-brand mechanical pipettes. Besides, one MPA-10000 alone can do the work of two mechanical pipettes (5 mL and 10 mL). It can even replace pipette controllers in many applications as well.
