Description
The YG1767 pipette series offers laboratory-perfected accuracy in fixed-volume models ranging from 5μl to 1000μl, delivering ±0.6-2.0% accuracy with ≤0.15-0.80% repeatability for uncompromising precision. These air-displacement pipettes feature color-coded volume identification and ergonomic designs that reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use. The autoclavable lower half (121°C) ensures sterile conditions, while the low operating force requirement enhances user comfort. Eight dedicated models cover essential volume ranges, with the YG1767-8 (1000μl) model achieving exceptional ±0.6% accuracy for large-volume transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why choose fixed-volume over adjustable pipettes?
Fixed-volume models provide better precision and reproducibility for routine, repetitive tasks. - Are replacement parts available for these pipettes?
Yes, all service components are available through Kalstein’s certified parts program. - How does the color-coding system work?
Each volume size has a distinct color for instant visual identification in busy lab environments.
