Which lab pipette should you use? 

Selecting the right lab pipette or dispenser can be the key to success in your work. It can boost your efficiency and throughput and ensure reliable results for different pipetting use cases. Here is a quick introduction to the basics, to ensure you select the right micropipette type for your needs.

Air-cushion principle vs. positive displacement principle

Air-cushion pipettes are the most commonly used type of micropipette in labs around the world, and are ideal for liquids with physical properties similar to water. In this pipette type, the piston is separated from the liquid sample by a small air cushion. Temperature or humidity changes, as well as the physical properties of different liquids can affect the performance of air-cushion instruments. To reduce these risks however, Eppendorf air-cushion pipettes ( Research 3 neo , Research plus , Reference 2 ,   Xplorer/Xplorer plus , and epMotion® range)  work with extra small air cushions and may be temporarily adjusted to different liquid types.

Positive displacement principle

In positive displacement systems, the piston is part of the tip and in direct contact with the liquid. There is no air cushion that may be affected by liquid sample properties. These tools are therefore ideal for maintaining accurate micropipette measurements when handling liquids with varying viscosity, volatility, surface tension, or density, as well as hot or cold liquids. The disposable tips with integrated pistons  (e.g. Combitips® advanced)  also prevent contamination and help to keep user and instrument  (Multipette®)  safe when working with hazardous liquids.

Should you choose a single-channel or multi-channel pipette?


If you’re mostly pipetting liquids into singular vessels, like tubes, or if you’re frequently switching between different vessel types, a single-channel pipette is a versatile option. However, if you’re looking to increase speed, comfort, and efficiency when pipetting into plates and tube strips, you should choose a multi-channel pipette. For more information to help you decide, visit our multi-channel pipettes subcategory page.

When should you use an electronic instrument?

The most important general benefits of using an electronic instrument are: better ergonomics by requiring almost no operating forces, a higher precision and reproducibility and an additional efficiency gain due to various operating modes (e.g. pipetting and dispensing with only one tool).

When should you think about an automated solution?

When thinking about which types of pipetting are most suitable for your lab, automation should definitely be considered. Automated liquid handling systems such as the  epMotion®  family are ideal to take over routine and repetitive pipetting tasks that are commonly found in many molecular biological applications. They are ideally suited whenever complex processes need to be standardized, help to reduce the risk of manual pipetting errors, increase reproducibility and free up your valuable time for other tasks.

What about liquids in the mL-range?

Looking for larger pipette volumes? In addition to Eppendorf micropipettes, we also offer:

  • Multi-dispensers  (Multipette)  for (serial) dispensing of up to 50 mL.
