When to Pick the 1–20 µL Head
Pick the MP9600-20PH when:
- qPCR setup workflow — typical 5–20 µL reaction volumes
- Sub-microliter precision pipetting — primer dilutions, restriction digest setup
- Plate-prep workflow at smallest volumes — high-precision low-volume aliquoting
- Replacing 5–200 µL head when workflow consistently runs at the lower end of that range (better precision at minimum-volume operations)
Step up to MP9600-200PH for 5–200 µL workflows that use mid-range volumes regularly.
Step up to MP9600-1000PH for 100–1000 µL workflows.
