SpectroPipetter for Microliter Volume Samples

The SpectroPipetter is a flexible, 10-mm path length sampling device for spectral measurement of small-volume samples. The SpectroPipetter conveniently couples to Ocean Optics' high-sensitivity fiber optic spectrometers and compact light sources for rapid measurement of microliter-level solutions. In fact, the SpectroPipetter requires only 2 µL of sample for a spectral measurement.

The SpectroPipetter is available for only $2250.

A complete, small-footprint spectrophotometric system for measuring microliter-volume samples -- including the SpectroPipetter, an Ocean Optics miniature fiber optic spectrometer and a compact UV or VIS-NIR light source -- can be configured for less than $5,000.

The SpectroPipetter's small size and miniature fiber optics offer significant advantages over the familiar cuvette holder-spectrophotometer setup. For example, that particular sampling model requires a much larger volume of the sample, as well as additional components such as the cuvette and cuvette holder, plus optical fibers.

Equally important is the multi-function design of the SpectroPipetter. The SpectroPipetter's fiber optics not only carry light to and from the sample, but act as a plunger to retrieve the sample. Indeed, the tip of the pipette includes a proprietary micro-sample cell that acts as an optical waveguide for aqueous sample solutions.

The SpectroPipetter is especially useful for applications where only very small (microliter-level) sample volumes are available, such as in protein chemistry, molecular biology, and forensics toxicology.

To remove fluid or dye from the pipetter's cell, use the PIP-UCK Cleaning Kit, which contains an ultrasonic cleaning bath, a bottle of cleaning solution and a stand to hold the pipetter. Or purchase the PIP-UCK-CS Cleaning solution separately.
