Oxford Autoclavable BenchMate Pipette 0.5-10 ul

Oxford BenchMate OBL-10 Variable Volume Single-Channel Pipette, 0.5–10 µL, Fully Autoclavable

The Oxford Lab Products BenchMate OBL-10 Variable Volume Pipette is a high-precision liquid handling instrument engineered for accurate micro-volume dispensing in biopharmaceutical, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostic laboratories. Operating across a volume range of 0.5 µL to 10 µL in micro-increments of 0.02 µL, the OBL-10 combines lightweight ergonomic construction with high mechanical durability. The instrument is fully autoclavable at 121 degrees C without requiring recalibration or disassembly, facilitating complete decontamination for sensitive genomic and cell culture workflows. Featuring a smooth plunger mechanism with ultra-low pipetting forces, a chemical-resistant PTFE seal assembly, and an integrated tip ejector, the BenchMate OBL-10 minimizes hand fatigue during repetitive pipetting series while delivering superior accuracy and precision compliant with ISO 8655 calibration standards.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Fully Autoclavable Architecture: Entire pipette withstands steam sterilization at 121 degrees C (15 psi for 20 minutes) without loss of calibration accuracy or component degradation.
• Ergonomic Ultra-Lightweight Build: Streamlined body design featuring a finger hook reduces hand strain and risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) during prolonged pipetting.
• PTFE & Thermal Isolation Core: Internal mechanism is shielded by thermal isolation barriers and fitted with PTFE seals to prevent hand heat transfer from affecting volumetric calibration.
• Four-Digit Micrometer Display: High-contrast digital volume indicator allows clear, precise volume setting down to 0.02 µL increments.
• Universal Tip Fit Cone: Precision-engineered nose cone ensures airtight sealing and universal compatibility with standard 10 µL ultra-micro pipette tips.
