Microman Saves the Lab!

Gilson’s Microman positive-displacement pipette is a superhero to any lab.

Microman is a life saver when it comes to problem liquids. Microman has the ability to pipette the most viscous or volatile samples without compromising accuracy and precision.

Microman’s muscles are made of highly resistant materials such as PVDF, a material that is resistant to aggressive chemicals. The pipette is suited with a color-coded push-button, which allows for easy identification of the Microman you are in need of, as well as corresponding Gilson capillary pistons (CPs). The pipette fits all hand sizes comfortably; the pipette will prevent cramping while pipetting. M10 and M100 Microman have an extra super power, they are fully autoclavable.

Gilson CPs, Microman’s favorite sidekick, have a disposable piston located inside the capillary tip. These CPs guarantee that no harmful samples will contaminate or damage the pipette.

Microman is not afraid of volatile liquids, such as Methanol and Hexane. With no air cushion to expand or contract, the aspiration force in Microman remains constant. This allows you to pipette very volatile liquids without evaporation or leaking.

The pipette leaves a clean and empty tip after every aspiration, even with viscous samples such as glycerol. During dispensing the piston wipes the internal capillary wall, assuring accurate and thorough dispensing of any viscous sample.

Microman is the perfect pipette for corrosive and radioactive liquids. The disposable CPs isolate the pipette from samples and aerosols, thereby preventing sample cross-contamination. The piston seal prevents biohazardous, radioactive and corrosive aerosols from entering the pipette and damaging expensive internal parts.

Let Microman save your lab!
