Surge Scientific · Model PPT0108 · Per4mance® Fully Autoclavable Adjustable Volume Pipette
Per4mance® 0.5 – 5 mL Pipette (PPT0108)
Bulk Liquid Handling · 5 µL Increment · ±2.4% / ±0.6% · ISO 8655
Large-volume aliquoting with ±0.6% precision · Fully Autoclavable WITHOUT Disassembly · UV Sterilizable · ISO 8655 Calibrated · Individual Test Certificate · Ergonomic Ambidextrous Design · 4-Digit Volume Display · Color-Coded · Premium Chemical-Resistant Materials · Universal Tip Cone
The PPT0108 is the 0.5–5 mL Per4mance pipette — the large-volume tool that replaces the awkward repipette-with-a-P1000-five-times workflow. Buffer preparation, large-flask media changes, bulk reagent aliquoting into 15 mL Falcon tubes — these are the workflows where the standard P1000 tops out and the 5 mL pipette takes over. ±2.4% systematic error and ±0.6% random error at 500 µL test volume — sub-1% reproducibility even at bulk volumes. 5 µL increment on the 4-digit display means 2.435 mL or 4.870 mL with single-event resolution. Fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly. ISO 8655 calibrated, individual test certificate.
Why "Fully Autoclavable WITHOUT Disassembly" Changes the Decontamination Workflow
Most "autoclavable" pipettes on the market are actually partially autoclavable — only the lower portion (the part that contacts the tip and sample) is rated for steam sterilization, and the operator has to disassemble the pipette, autoclave the lower section, and reassemble it before use. That disassembly step is where things go wrong: recalibration drift after reassembly, O-ring damage from repeated disassembly, parts misplacement, and the very real risk that the operator skips autoclaving entirely because it's too much hassle.
The Per4mance PPT0108 eliminates the disassembly step. The entire pipette goes in the autoclave — handle, plunger, body, lower section — all of it. No taking it apart, no reassembly, no recalibration drift, no skipped autoclave cycles because the workflow was too inconvenient. UV sterilization compatible for additional decontamination workflows. Premium chemical-resistant materials stand up to repeated autoclave cycles, organic solvents, and aggressive cleaning protocols. For BSL-2 and BSL-3 labs, cell culture cores, sterile compounding pharmacies, and any workflow where contamination is the gating concern, full-pipette autoclavability without disassembly isn't a feature — it's the entire reason for choosing this pipette over alternatives.
Volume 0.5 – 5 mL
One stroke = up to 5 mL. Replaces the five-strokes-with-a-P1000 workflow that introduces compounding error every cycle. ±0.6% random error at 500 µL. Light Blue / Cyan (per ISO 8655 convention) color code for instant pipette-stand identification.
ISO 8655 + Individual Cert
±2.40% systematic error and ±0.60% random error at 500 µL test volume — ISO 8655 calibrated, individual test certificate ships with every unit.
Fully Autoclavable, No Disassembly
Drop the entire pipette in the autoclave — no taking it apart, no reassembly, no recalibration drift. UV sterilizable. Chemical-resistant premium materials stand up to repeated cycles.
Ambidextrous Ergonomic
Ambidextrous ergonomic design — comfortable for right- and left-handed users. 4-digit volume display for precise readout. Universal tip cone fits most major manufacturer tips.
"Drop it in the autoclave. Done. The 0.5 – 5 mL Per4mance PPT0108 — fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly, ISO 8655 calibrated, with the individual test certificate that proves it."

Ideal Applications
Buffer & Reagent Preparation
Buffer preparation aliquoting, large-scale culture media bottle dispensing, large reagent stock aliquoting into Falcon tubes — the bulk-volume lab work that tip-style P1000s can't handle without re-pipetting.
Cell Culture & Tissue Processing
Large-flask cell culture media changes (T75/T175), tissue homogenate transfers, protein extraction buffer additions, organ perfusion solution handling.
Industrial & Process Labs
Industrial QC sample aliquoting, food and beverage R&D bulk transfers, environmental sample processing, and pharmaceutical formulation work where 1–5 mL transfers are routine.
