Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it important to store pipettes on a stand rather than flat on the bench?
Storing pipettes vertically prevents liquid from entering the internal mechanism, which protects against corrosion and contamination, and also minimizes the risk of the pipette being knocked over or misaligned.
2. How many pipettes can the SOCOREX In-Line™ 337 stand hold?
The SOCOREX In-Line™ 337 series is designed as a universal holder that can typically accommodate up to 7 single-channel pipettes from most major brands.
3. What is the purpose of the BRAND Filter for TFP pipettes?
These filters act as a protective barrier within the pipette tip cone to prevent aerosols and liquid splashes from reaching the internal piston, which is essential for maintaining the accuracy of larger volume pipettes.
4. Are these racks and stands compatible with all pipette brands?
Universal stands like those from Socorex and Heathrow Scientific are engineered to accommodate the geometry of most standard manual and electronic pipettes, including models from Eppendorf, BRAND, and GILSON.
