This item is a 5-50 μl variable micropipette .

These precision laboratory micropipettes were manufactured by Socorex for use by Ortho Clinical Diagnostics for their Amerlite product range in the late 1990's , early 2000's . They have been stored in excellent warehousing , have the original calibration data , are in their original packaging and have never been used . I have a significant number of these items .

I am selling them at a very reduced price , compared to the current prices of similar products on the market today . They can be used with total confidence in any laboratory . As in most of these laboratories , it is always good practice to calibrate these items on a routine basis anyway .

Following a question about these pipettes , the pipettes are very easy to adjust . It is done by the turning of the knurled top against a vernier scale - see one of the pictures above .


I received some excellent feedback from an ebayer buyer . He agreed that I could put his comments in this description so that should another buyer find the same "stickiness" it should be  fairly easy to resolve . I will check each one prior to shipping .

These are the comments

Hi,

I received my pipette today and I'm very pleased with it. Great price and works perfectly for the job I had in mind. However, I thought I should let you know that the adjustment mechanism was firmly stuck at first. A (very) hard twist freed it up but then I had to wind it top-to-bottom several times to get all the click stops clicking properly. It's working like a good 'un now though. It probably got a bit bound up after sitting in the warehouse so long. No complaint here, but you might want to check this before shipping the next one (just in case you get a picky customer). Thanks again. Cheers. Beats.



I have additional Socorex micropipettes which can deliver between 50-200
μl and 200-1000 μl , thus allowing the user to dispense  a complete range of between 5 and 1000 μl routinely and repetitively . Please look at my other products .

ACURA® 811/821 MICROPIPETTES - FIXED AND ADJUSTABLE VOLUME

The Acura® fixed and adjustable volume micropipettes are working on the air displacement principle. Operating the plunger button will draw the sample into the detachable polypropylene tip without any contact with the plunger assembly. The discharge travel of the plunger provides for an overshoot movement to flush the tip empty.

Main features of your new micropipette include:

• Air chamber placed outside handpiece keeps unaffected to handwarming and provides exceptional reproducibility.

• Light plunger springload and clean, sharp stop provide more precision with less fatigue.

• One-hand tip ejector is controlled by a separate push button; avoids undesired detipping into test solution.

• Slim shape adapted to narrow test tubes.

The nominal volume of each fixed volume micropipette Acura® 811 is shown on the plunger button which is of the same colour as the plastic tip to be used.

Three adjustable micropipettes Acura® 821 cover the range of  5 to 1000 μl, i.e. 5 to 50 μl , 50 to 200 μl and 200 to l000 μl.
