Pipette Pump, anyone using them?

[LowThudd]

Seems perfect for our needs. up to 25ml, thumb wheel fluid draw, one touch release lever. This is the best price I have found. Pipette Pump for Pipettes up to 25 ml, Red for sale. Buy from the Science Company

Was looking for a large aspirating syringe, but I like this better.

OneStopDiyShop has them in 2ml and 10ml sizes. Much better sized for our purposes if you ask me.

Professionally I have used pipette pumps in the Laboratory. Lab Safety is one of the vendors we use.

Available in 2, 10, and 25 mil sizes slightly lower priced than your link (looks to be the same model?):

Same sizes but faster, more accurate, and ergonomic for a bout twice the price:

I'd rather have 25ml for mixing 50ml of juice(the bottle size I have). But that is a good deal, and they have other stuff I need. Too bad they don't have the 10ml pipettes. That is the only way the 10ml pipette pump would be usefull to me. Thanks.

Cool! Do you have a good source for serological graduated pipettes(25ml-50ml)?

 

[eHuman]

Same site (and many others) but I think they only deal in bulk 500 packs. No experience buying small quantities.

USPlastics.com
vwrlabshop.com
pipette.com
laboratoryglass.com

I think all the big guys sell in bulk.

Why serological? That may increase the price.

Should work fine for our needs. They are designed for precise scientific measurement. Also, as noted earlier, onestopdiyshop.com carries them in smaller volumes. Probably perfect, I just need to find the right sized pipettes.

I absolutely LOVE mine!

I was lazy...got my pipettes & pump from Amazon along with a lot of other labware.

Depending on how the pipette is graduated, it can make for some highly precise measuring. I like being able to reproduce between batches, so for me precision is pretty important.

I love the pump. It works great. That's my bottom line.

Nope, wrong type. I need the type w/out a bulb on the top to use w/ the pump. Thanks though.

Ok.. ....

Personally I think the syringes available from Tractor Supply do the job, they go up over 60ml and cost 1-3 dollars each. My reasoning is that while pipettes and a pump are mandatory to titrate acurately, a syringe for the volumes that you are talking are perfect.

My tastebuds won't detect the difference between .01% concentration of flavor or nic.

But LowThudd already invested in the pump and needed matching pipette for them and face it: the ease of use, the repeatable acuracy, and the coolness factor is right up there with perforated toilet paper and and sliced bread.

Definitely nice to have if you do more than tinker.
