Surge Scientific · Model PPT0102 · Per4mance® Fully Autoclavable Adjustable Volume Pipette
Per4mance® 0.5 – 10 µL Pipette (PPT0102)
Workhorse Low Volume · 0.01 µL Increment · Orange Color Code · ±2.5% / ±1.8%
The most-used pipette in molecular biology, fully autoclavable · 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 PPT0102 is the 0.5–10 µL Per4mance pipette — the most-used pipette range in any molecular biology lab. PCR primer addition, qPCR template loading, restriction enzyme aliquoting, antibody dilutions — the 0.5–10 µL range is where most pipetting actually happens. ISO 8655 calibrated to ±2.5% systematic error at 1 µL test volume with ±1.8% random error. 0.01 µL increment on the 4-digit display. Orange color code for instant identification. Fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly — drop the whole pipette in the autoclave between sample sets, no taking it apart, no reassembly anxiety.
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 PPT0102 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 – 10 µL
The most-pulled-from-the-stand pipette in molecular biology. PCR, qPCR, restriction digests, antibody dilutions — all happen in the 0.5–10 µL range. Orange color code for instant pipette-stand identification.
ISO 8655 + Individual Cert
±2.50% systematic error and ±1.80% random error at 1 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 – 10 µL Per4mance PPT0102 — fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly, ISO 8655 calibrated, with the individual test certificate that proves it."

Ideal Applications
PCR & qPCR Workflows
Standard PCR primer dispensing, qPCR template addition, restriction digest enzyme aliquoting — the bread-and-butter molecular biology range where 1 µL, 2 µL, and 5 µL transfers happen 100 times a day.
Cell Biology & Microbiology
Antibody dilutions, transfection reagent dispensing, bacterial culture inoculum delivery, and ELISA standards — the routine volumes that fill most cell biology and microbiology workflows.
Pharma & Clinical Research
Drug screening dose-response setup, plasma sample aliquoting, clinical research immunoassays — where ±2.5% accuracy at 1 µL meets the standard for bench-to-bedside reproducibility.
