8 channels of 0.5–10 µL — qPCR plate setup in 12 strokes instead of 96 · 8 Channels Parallel Dispense · ISO 8655 Calibrated · Individual Test Certificate · Autoclavable Lower Section (121°C) · 360° Rotating Lower Part · Tool-Free Disassembly · 4-Digit Volume Display · Color-Coded Control Button · Light Plunger Force · Minimal Tip Attachment / Ejection Force
The MP10 is the 0.5–10 µL Precipette 8-Channel pipette — the qPCR plate setup workhorse. Setting up a 96-well qPCR plate with a single-channel pipette means 96 individual transfers; with the MP10 it means 12 strokes across the rows of an 8-row, 12-column plate. 8× throughput improvement and 8× better well-to-well reproducibility because all 8 channels dispense from the same master mix at the same time. Autoclavable lower section at 121°C. 360° rotating lower part for left-or-right-hand operation. 4-digit volume display. Color-coded control button. ISO 8655 calibrated, individual test certificate ships with each unit.
Why 8-Channel Parallel Dispensing Defines Microplate Throughput
Microplate workflows are the throughput bottleneck of modern cell biology, immunoassays, drug screening, and high-throughput PCR. A 96-well plate has 96 wells. With a single-channel pipette, that's 96 individual transfers per plate — and on a busy bench setting up 5 plates a day, the pipetting alone consumes several hours of tech-time while introducing well-to-well volume variance from operator fatigue, micro-changes in plunger speed, and timing-related evaporation differences. By the time the 96th well is dispensed, the conditions are measurably different from the first.
An 8-channel pipette flips the math entirely. 96-well plate setup in 12 strokes instead of 96. Eight wells dispensed simultaneously, all from the same source, at the same instant — 8× faster throughput AND 8× better well-to-well reproducibility because the variance sources that affect single-channel pipetting (operator fatigue, plunger-speed drift, evaporation timing) get eliminated by parallel dispensing. The Precipette 8-channel design adds autoclavable lower section at 121°C for proper decontamination, 360° rotating lower part for left-or-right-hand operation, tool-free disassembly for cleaning, and color-coded control button for instant volume-range identification on a busy bench. The MP50 and MP300 add an O-ring on the tip cone for tight seal at mid-and-high volumes — the mechanical detail that separates reliable 8-channel pipettes from leaky ones.
8-Channel · 0.5 – 10 µL
8 parallel channels in the 0.5 – 10 µL range. 96-well qPCR plate setup in 12 strokes instead of 96. 8× throughput multiplier with 8× better well-to-well reproducibility — every well dispensed from the same master mix at the same instant.
ISO 8655 + Individual Cert
ISO 8655 calibrated with individual factory test certificate shipped with every unit. Detailed accuracy and precision data on the unit-specific calibration sheet.
Autoclavable @ 121°C
Lower section autoclaves at 121°C for proper decontamination. Tool-free disassembly — press the ejector sleeve, pull and rotate the lower portion. 360° rotating lower part for ergonomic positioning.
Lightweight + Low-Force
Light weight + light plunger force + minimal tip attachment / ejection force — minimizes the repetitive strain injuries that high-volume microplate work can produce. 4-digit volume display. Color-coded control button.

Ideal Applications
qPCR Plate Setup
qPCR master mix dispensing across 96-well plates — what would be 96 strokes with a single-channel becomes 12 strokes with the MP10. The most-bought 8-channel volume range for molecular biology cores.
PCR & Sequencing Library Prep
PCR setup, NGS library prep dispensing of low-volume reagents, primer additions across multiplex assays — workflows where the 0.5–10 µL range dominates and 8-channel parallel transfer eliminates per-well variance.
Drug Screening Master Mix
High-throughput drug screening master mix dispensing, enzyme assay setup, and any 96-well plate workflow where the per-well volume falls in the 0.5–10 µL range.
What's in the Box
The Precipette 8-Channel MP10 ships ready for use with the verification documentation that ISO 8655 requires.
