Pipettes are used to measure small amounts of liquid and are one of the most commonly used instruments in the laboratory. So, how do you know which pipette to use when there are so many on the market? It all comes down to which suction head meets the quality, performance and ergonomics requirements that best suit your specific pipette.

Using the right pipette head is essential to ensure that a specific volume of liquid is dispensed and absorbed without any contamination in the process. The adage "you get what you pay for" holds true for pipette suction heads. Always choose a high quality suction head as this is very important in terms of precision and accuracy. Choosing the right suction for your pipette is crucial. If the suction head does not fit the pipette properly, it will affect accuracy and accuracy. If the seal between the pipette barrel and the suction head is not tight, air may escape and affect the volume of the inhaled liquid and ultimately the volume of the dispensed.
