Micropipettes available from 0.1 µl to 10 ml for your pipetting tasks in the laboratory. BRANDTECH micropipettes offer ergonomic design together with a high degree of accuracy and precision. Choose from a wide variety of our single- and multichannel pipettes Transferpette® S and Transferpette® electronic.
Pipetting is one of the most frequent tasks in the laboratory. Discover the Transferpette® laboratory pipette family: ergonomic air displacement pipettes for accurate, reproducible pipetting in laboratory applications. They cover volume ranges from 0.1 µl to 10 ml. The micropipettes are available in various versions: Single-channel and multi-channel micropipettes (8/12-channel) for individual samples and microplates; Transferpette® S and Transferpette® pro – mechanical pipettes as variable or fixed models; Transferpette® electronic – electronic pipette with programs for pipetting (standard or reverse), mixing, and gel loading. All Transferpette® models have a separate tip ejection button. This prevents accidental ejection of the tips. The micro pipettes are calibrated within the scope of test equipment monitoring in accordance with EN ISO 8655. All models of the Transferpette® pipettes feature the unique Easy Calibration technique, which allows adjustment without tools. Autoclavability: Depending on the model, either the complete pipette shaft (Transferpette® electronic) or even the entire pipette (Transferpette® S & pro) can be autoclaved at 121 °C (2 bar) in accordance with DIN EN 285. Tip cone: The pipette and the pipette tip form a system. Both system components are developed by BRAND and are optimally matched to each other. This ensures optimal compatibility of the Transferpette® pipettes with the pipette tips and filter tips from BRAND. Due to the universal design of the tip cones, tips from other leading manufacturers can also be used.
The Transferpette® S and Transferpette® pro are mechanical micropipettes for precise pipetting in the laboratory – available as single-channel or multi-channel pipettes. Both the Transferpette® S and the new Transferpette® pro enable true one‑hand operation. With volume‑change protection as well as a universal tip cone for tips from various manufacturers. The Easy Calibration technique enables permanent adjustment without tools. Lightweight, robust, and completely autoclavable – ideal for changing laboratory conditions and high QM requirements. See for yourself the advantages of the Transferpette® S & pro air‑cushion pipettes. In addition, the Transferpette® pro offers even more flexibility with an adjustable finger rest, a temporary adjustment function, and the extended volume range. The integrated counter protection of the Transferpette® pro provides additional protection for the mechanism and makes the pipettes particularly robust. Try it yourself and choose the pipette that fits your tasks and requirements.
The Transferpette® electronic is an automatic micropipette that combines the proven characteristics of mechanical micropipettes with the advantages of electronic instruments. The electronic pipette is available as single-channel and multi-channel micropipette and supports fast, intuitive workflows through a hand‑friendly design, balanced weight distribution, and clear, comprehensible software. Independent, neutral user tests confirm the ergonomics and ease of use of the product and system. With the Transferpette® electronic pipette, laboratory users benefit from intuitive programs and ergonomic relief. Whether pipetting, mixing, reverse, gel loading or dispensing – the electronic pipette from BRAND accelerates standard processes and supports reliable results. Try it now and be convinced. The single-channel micropipette Transferpette® electronic was the world’s first micropipette to be awarded the “Ergonomics tested” certificate from TÜV Rheinland/Berlin-Brandenburg.
The Transferpette® S and Transferpette® pro cover a very large single-channel volume range from 0.1 µl to 10 ml, while the multi-channel models of the Transferpette® S typically cover 0.5 µl to 300 µl and the Transferpette® pro up to 1250 µl; the Transferpette® electronic offers, depending on the model, single-/multi-channel ranges of about 0.5 µl to 300 µl or up to 5 ml and, in addition, electronic dispensing programs for efficient, repeatable dispensing. Further details on available sizes and accuracy data can be found on the respective product pages at shop.brand.de.
The finger rest label (label window) on the Transferpette® S and pro is used for clear, individual identification of your instrument directly on the finger rest; you can remove the window, mark the labeling film with your desired ID, and reinsert it. The label is commonly used to individualize pipettes, mark them for specific applications, or document the date of the last calibration.
The Transferpette® S and Transferpette® pro are completely autoclavable. For the Transferpette® electronic, the pipetting subunit is autoclavable. We recommend sterilization in the autoclave at 121 °C, 2 bar for 15 minutes. Please observe the notes for the respective products in the user manuals in the download area of the product pages at shop.brand.de or at https://www.brand.de/en/service-support/downloads. If the pipette is autoclaved frequently, the piston should be lubricated with the supplied grease to maintain smooth operation."
The difference between Transferpette® S, Transferpette® pro, and Transferpette® electronic is primarily in the operating concept and functions: The Transferpette® S is an ergonomic, manual air‑cushion pipette with true one‑hand operation, a universal tip cone, and Easy Calibration. The Transferpette® pro combines all the advantages of the Transferpette® S with even more flexibility and additional options: a temporary “User Adjustment” for quick adaptation to changing conditions, extended volume ranges, and a rotatable finger rest for even more ergonomics. The Transferpette® electronic offers electronic programs (e.g., pipetting and dispensing) that conveniently enable multiple dispenses and complex dispensing sequences.
The Transferpette micropipettes are designed so that pipette and tip form a matched system. The pipette tips and filter tips developed by BRAND fit optimally and ensure the best tightness and performance. You can find the appropriate tips at https://shop.brand.de/en/liquid-handling/tips.html. A suitable selection guide can also be found on the product pages under “Selection Guide.” Thanks to the universal design of the shaft/ tip cone, many tips from other manufacturers can also be used.
All Transferpette® pipettes can be ordered DAkkS‑calibrated with a calibration certificate. To order BRAND new instruments with DAkkS calibration, please prefix the corresponding instrument order number with ‘DAkkS/...’, e.g., DAkkS/7036 00 for a DAkkS‑calibrated Transferpette® ‑8 0.5–10 µl. Please refer to our current price list for the surcharge for your desired instrument. If a calibration certificate is required for pipettes already in use, please send them to BRAND with the note ‘Calibration DAkkS‑accredited (ISO 17025)’. The order form can be downloaded at www.brand.de/service.
The UV resistance of BRAND Transferpette® pipettes is tested at a wavelength of 254 nm. Color changes may occur as a result of UV exposure.
Calibration and maintenance of a pipette are recommended at regular intervals of 3 to 12 months. The exact cycle depends on individual requirements and the load on the instrument. In the case of heavy use or the use of aggressive liquids, testing should be carried out more frequently. Maintenance includes not only volume testing but also a visual inspection of the tip cone, piston, and seals for damage, wear, or contamination. Immediate maintenance is required if any of the following situations occur: Liquid has entered the interior of the pipette, the pipette drips when working with aqueous solutions, pipetting is sluggish. Detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and user manuals with maintenance notes are available at shop.brand.de or at https://www.brand.de/en/service-support/downloads."
The different colors, i.e., color codes on the volume-setting wheel, shaft, and volume-change protection identify the corresponding volume ranges and support quick, error-free identification in everyday laboratory work; this helps users find the right pipette and compatible tips faster. The color-coded ranges are clearly presented in the tables on the product pages at shop.brand.de.
