Micropipettes you can calibrate yourself

Microlit makes nine micropipettes, from 0.2 µl to 10 ml. Single channel, multi channel and electronic. Every one is calibrated before it ships and comes with its certificate in the box. Tell us the volume you work with and we will tell you which model to buy.

    Why labs choose Microlit micropipettes

    🔧

    Calibrate it yourself

    UniCal is a patented mechanism. You calibrate the pipette in your own lab in one step. No separate tool, and no sending it away for a week.

    🎯

    Accurate at low volumes

    µAir cuts the dead air space between the piston and the tip. That gap is where most of the error comes from when you work below 10 µl.

    🔄

    Works with your tips

    The tip cone fits most standard tips sold worldwide. You do not have to change your tip supplier or renegotiate a contract.

    🌍

    Service near you

    Spares, servicing and calibration help come from our teams in India, the USA and Brazil. No import wait for a part.

    Micropipette applications by industry

    Pharma and quality control

    Control analysis, dilutions, stability sampling and routine QC. When your method is validated, a pipetting error becomes a deviation you have to write up. Being able to recalibrate in the lab that day matters more than the certificate that came in the box.

    Best fit
    NERO variable volume

    Clinical diagnostics

    ELISA, immunology, sample aliquoting and packing diagnostic kits. LILPETS is a small, low cost fixed volume pipette with a two step plunger, made for kit assembly where the same volume is repeated thousands of times.

    Best fit
    AQUA 8 and 12 channel, LILPETS

    Molecular biology

    DNA and RNA amplification, screening, genetics and kinetic studies. Below 10 µl, dead air space is the main source of error, which is what µAir is built to reduce.

    Best fit
    NRO-2 and NRO-10

    Life sciences and biotech

    Cell culture, microbiology and biochemistry. The whole pipette goes in the autoclave, so you do not need a second set kept aside for sterile work.

    Autoclave cycle
    121°C, 15 psi, 15 to 20 min

    Food, beverage and environment

    Food safety testing, water analysis, agriculture and environmental monitoring. Mostly mid range volumes at high daily counts, so how the plunger feels by the end of a shift decides which pipette your team actually reaches for.

    Best fit
    RAMBO, 3 to 5 N plunger

    Universities and research institutes

    Teaching labs, institutional research and grant funded buying. Most orders are for a whole bench, not a single pipette. That is what the starter kit is for.

    Accuracy and CV limits follow DIN EN ISO 8655-2 and are based on the nominal capacity marked on the pipette. Every unit is calibrated to ISO 8655 in our own ISO 17025 accredited lab, and the certificate is in the box.

    Why buy Microlit micropipettes

    We design them ourselves

    NERO, RAMBO and AQUA come from our own product engineering team. They are not rebadged from a contract manufacturer.

    Two patents

    UniCal calibration and the Ultimus fluid dispensing device are both patented, and both certificates are published.

    Award winning design

    Japan Good Design Award, CII Industrial Innovation Award, Top 50 Most Innovative Companies 2022 and the ET Now Leaders of Tomorrow award in 2025.

    What laboratories say about Microlit micropipettes

    ★★★★★

    Multi channel pipettes that are “extremely accurate and give precise results in our laboratory”, with a grip that holds well and a sequential tip ejector that works one handed.

    DRLab Incharge
    Dr. Remedies Lab, New Delhi
    ★★★★★

    Measurements come out precise and it is “great to use with both acidic buffers and base buffers”. ISO certified, and in daily use on single channel pipettes.

    OLQuality Control Manager
    Obvez Labs, Hyderabad
    ★★★★★

    Micropipettes and a BEATUS bottle top dispenser together let the team “easily conduct up to 150 blood tests each day”.

    MDDr Mridumay Das
    Director, RTBC Blood Bank, NBMCH, West Bengal
    ★★★★★

    For a teaching lab used to far pricier instruments, “compared to the $200-300 models that I am usually limited to, this is a Godsend”.

    Which model do you need?

      Micropipette FAQs

      Yes, in your own lab. UniCal is a patented mechanism that lets you calibrate in one step, without pulling the digits off the plunger. You do not need a separate tool and you do not have to send the pipette away. Each one arrives already calibrated to ISO 8655 with its certificate in the box. If you use it regularly, recalibrate every six months.

      Yes. The whole pipette autoclaves at 121°C and 15 psi for 15 to 20 minutes. You do not need a second set kept aside for sterile work.

      The tip cone is a universal fit and works with most standard tips sold worldwide, so you can keep your current tip supplier. We also make our own ProTip range if you want them from us. ProTip comes in MICRO up to 1000 µl and MACRO up to 10 ml, in plain and filtered versions, tested free of detectable RNase, DNase, DNA and PCR inhibitors, and non pyrogenic.

      Micropipettes are CE marked, and AQUA has its own CE certificate. We manufacture under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 14001, and hold a CDSCO licence to sell medical devices. Calibration is done to ISO 8655 in our own ISO 17025 accredited lab. Every certificate is on our certificates page.

      NERO and RAMBO variable models cover 0.2 µl to 10 ml across nine bands. Pick the narrowest band that covers your working volume, because that gives you the best accuracy. At 10 µl, NRO-10 is rated ±1% accuracy and ±0.5% CV. From 100 µl up, the range holds ±0.6% accuracy and ±0.2% CV. Tell us your volume on the form and we will name the model.

      NERO for general manual work. RAMBO if people pipette for long stretches, because the plunger takes 3 to 5 N on the first step and 10 to 14 N on the second. AQUA if you work with plates, in single channel, 8 or 12 channel, or 4 to 12 channel with adjustable spacing. LILPETS for packing diagnostic kits at a fixed volume.

      Yes. We hold NSIC and UDYAM registration and a ZED Gold rating, which are the documents usually asked for in Indian government and institutional tenders. Send us your enquiry and we will confirm the process for your organisation.

      Yes. We also make the E-Burette, bottle top dispensers, the E-Dispenser, peristaltic pumps, vacuum aspirators, ProTip tips and pipette stands. If you are setting up a full bench, say so in the enquiry and we will quote the lot together.

      Yes, we run an OEM and private label programme. Pick the OEM option on the form and your enquiry goes straight to that team.
