Surge Scientific · Model PPT0103 · Per4mance® Fully Autoclavable Adjustable Volume Pipette
Per4mance® 2 – 20 µL Pipette (PPT0103)
Mid-Low Volume · 0.02 µL Increment · Purple Color Code · ±5% / ±1.5%
The pipette range that bridges low-volume and standard workflows · 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 PPT0103 is the 2–20 µL Per4mance pipette — the bridge between PCR-scale low volumes and routine bench workflows. ±1.5% random error at 2 µL test volume — exceptional precision for the volume range. 0.02 µL increment resolution on the 4-digit display. Purple color code for instant pipette-stand identification. Fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly. ISO 8655 calibrated, individual test certificate ships with each unit. The most common workflows in this range — Sanger primers, ligation reactions, ELISA dilutions, cloning aliquots — benefit directly from the tight ±1.5% precision spec.
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 PPT0103 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 2 – 20 µL
±1.5% random error at 2 µL test volume — exceptional precision for the mid-low volume range. Tight reproducibility for ligation reactions, sequencing primers, and ELISA standards. Purple color code for instant pipette-stand identification.
ISO 8655 + Individual Cert
±5.00% systematic error and ±1.50% random error at 2 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 2 – 20 µL Per4mance PPT0103 — fully autoclavable WITHOUT disassembly, ISO 8655 calibrated, with the individual test certificate that proves it."
