Rainin-Compatible Pipettes & Volac-Certified Lab Tips

Premium Laboratory Pipettes: Rainin-Compatible Models and Volac-Certified Tips

Laboratory precision begins with quality instruments. Our comprehensive selection of Rainin-compatible pipettes and Volac-certified tips provides researchers and laboratory professionals with reliable tools for accurate liquid handling at competitive prices. From glass and PFA options to LTS-compatible models in various volume ranges, we offer solutions to meet diverse laboratory needs.

Types of Rainin-Compatible Pipettes

Single-Channel Pipettes

The Rainin Pipet-Lite single-channel pipette represents the gold standard in laboratory liquid handling. Designed with ergonomics in mind, these pipettes reduce hand strain during extended use sessions, making them ideal for high-throughput environments. The lightweight construction coupled with digital volume display ensures precise and repeatable results across various applications, from research to clinical settings.

Multi-Channel Pipettes

For high-throughput applications, our Rainin-compatible multi-channel pipettes offer exceptional performance and reliability. These instruments are fully compatible with LTS tips, providing consistent accuracy and minimal variability in volume transfer. The ergonomic design reduces user fatigue and prevents laboratory-related injuries during repetitive pipetting procedures.

Glass Pipettes

VOLAC Glass Pasteur Pipettes are manufactured with meticulous attention to detail, using carefully selected glass tubing including soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, and soda-lime glass with cerium. These precision-engineered pipettes feature centered tips and cones that can be verified by rolling them on a flat surface. The inner diameter of the tip ranges from 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm, with custom diameters available upon request.

PFA Pipettes

Our PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) pipettes offer exceptional chemical resistance, making them ideal for handling aggressive chemicals and solvents. The Rainin L-10ML pipette exemplifies this category, providing reliable performance for volumes between 1000-10000 μL. These pipettes are particularly valuable in applications requiring resistance to harsh chemicals while maintaining precision in measurement.

LTS (Lite Touch System) Pipettes

The LTS system represents a significant advancement in pipette technology, requiring minimal mounting force while still providing an airtight seal. This innovative design ensures proper tip mounting even with worn barrels, extending the functional life of your instruments. The effortless tip mounting and ejection helps operators avoid laboratory-related injuries during extended use.

Choosing the Right Pipette Size

Micro Volume Pipettes (0.1-10μL)

Our micro volume pipettes are perfect for applications requiring extreme precision with minimal volumes. Rainin XLS models in the 2p and 10p range are available, though users should ensure proper tip compatibility to avoid leakage issues. These instruments are indispensable for molecular biology applications, including PCR setup and enzyme assays.

Small Volume Pipettes (10-200μL)

For routine laboratory procedures, our small volume pipettes provide the reliability and accuracy needed for consistent results. Cotaus produces Rainin-compatible tips in 20μL, 200μL, and 300μL ranges, ensuring proper fit and performance. These pipettes are versatile workhorses for most standard laboratory protocols.

Medium Volume Pipettes (100-1000μL)

The medium volume range encompasses many common laboratory tasks. Our Rainin-compatible 1000μL pipettes deliver exceptional accuracy with low variability. Manufactured with premium-grade polypropylene and produced in controlled environments, the compatible tips ensure reliable performance.

Large Volume Pipettes (1000-10000μL)

For larger volume requirements, the Fischer Technical E1000-05 and Volac Pipettors in the 500-5000 microliter range offer precision and ease of use. The Rainin Pipet-Lite models handling volumes from 1000 to 10000 μL feature ergonomic designs that reduce hand strain during prolonged pipetting sessions.

Size Selection Guide

When selecting pipette sizes, consider the following factors:

• Typical volume range of your applications
• Desired precision and accuracy requirements
• Frequency of use
• User comfort preferences
• Compatibility with existing laboratory equipment

Volac-Certified Tips

What Makes Volac Certification Important

Volac certification represents a commitment to precision manufacturing and quality control. Volac pipettes and tips are produced to the highest quality standards, including compliance with EN ISO 835 for graduated pipettes. This certification ensures consistency, reliability, and compatibility across laboratory applications.

Available Tip Varieties

Our inventory includes a comprehensive range of Volac-certified tips:

• D893 tips compatible with the Fischer Technical E1000-05 Volac Pipettors
• Cotton-plugged Pasteur pipettes in various lengths, including the popular 230 mm option
• Graduated pipettes with ring marks for accurate volume reading at the lowest point of the meniscus
• Standard universal pipette tips for maximum versatility

Compatibility with Rainin Pipettes

Many Volac-certified tips are compatible with Rainin pipettes, providing laboratories with cost-effective alternatives without sacrificing quality. The universal design ensures proper fitting and sealing, maintaining accuracy in liquid handling operations.

Quality Assurance

Volac glass pasteur pipettes undergo rigorous quality control, with automated production processes ensuring consistent manufacturing standards. The tips and cones are perfectly centered, and the constrictions for cotton plugs are formed at consistent distances from fire-polished mouthpieces. This attention to detail guarantees reliable performance across applications.

Competitive Pricing and Value

Cost Comparison: Original vs. Compatible Products

While Rainin LTS pipettes and tips offer excellent quality, they come with a significant price premium. Our Rainin-compatible alternatives provide comparable performance at substantially lower costs. For example, while original Rainin LTS tips might cost approximately $25-30 per 960 tips, compatible options from quality manufacturers can reduce this expense significantly.
