Precipette™ 8-Channel 50 – 300 µL Pipette (MP300)
8-Channel High Volume · O-Ring Tip Cone · 360° Rotating · ISO 8655
8 channels of 50–300 µL — cell culture media changes and plate washing · 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 MP300 is the 50–300 µL Precipette 8-Channel pipette — the cell culture media-change and plate-washing workhorse. 96-well plate media exchanges, ELISA plate washing, hybridization buffer changes — workflows where dispensing 100–250 µL per well across full plates would consume hours of single-channel pipetting time. The MP300 features the O-ring on the tip cone for tight seal at high volumes — critical for the larger volumes where any air leak compounds across all 8 channels into significant volume error. Autoclavable lower section at 121°C. 360° rotating lower part for ergonomic positioning. 4-digit volume display. Color-coded control button. ISO 8655 calibrated, individual test certificate.
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 · 50 – 300 µL
8 parallel channels in the 50 – 300 µL range. O-ring tip cone seal is critical at high volumes — air leak in any of 8 channels compounds into significant well-to-well variance. The MP300's mechanical seal preserves accuracy at 300 µL × 8 channels.
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
Cell Culture Media Changes
96-well and 24-well plate media exchange, virus stock dispensing, large-volume buffer additions — the cell culture workflows where 100–300 µL per well across full plates defines the throughput bottleneck.
Plate Washing Workflows
ELISA plate washing, hybridization buffer changes, fixation / permeabilization workflows — applications where parallel 8-channel dispensing of 100–250 µL keeps protocols on schedule.
Bulk Microplate Workflows
Bulk microplate-based assays, large-volume drug dispensing, sample dilution series setup — applications where 8-channel parallel dispensing in the high-volume range eliminates the workflow bottleneck.
