A Variable Volume 12 Channel Micropipette is a sophisticated laboratory instrument designed for simultaneously dispensing or aspirating liquid samples in 12 individual channels. This type of micropipette is commonly used in high-throughput applications, such as multiwell plate assays, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), and other experiments that require parallel handling of multiple samples. Here are the key features and functions of a Variable Volume 12 Channel Micropipette:
