Everything You Need To Know About Nexty Micropipettes
Ergonomic, colour coded and built to last, the Nexty series of micropipettes facilitate precise and quick measurements in any laboratory application.
In this article, the Instrument Choice Scientists assess in detail the features and specifications of the Nexty series to help you find the right Nexty micropipette for your requirements.
Nexty Micropipette Key Features and Benefits
Nexty micropipettes boast innovative design features that outperform other pipette brands. Without any further ado, let’s start our deep dive examination!
Figure 1 The Triple Speed Turbo Dial
- Triple Speed Turbo Dial: The turbo dial is a time saver when you need to make large changes in volume - a single rotation of the turbo dial equals three and a half rotations of the push-button dial.
- Ergonomic Push-Button: Avoid repetitive strain - the sizeable domed button and a flexible spring system act synergistically to reduce stress on your thumb. The push-button mechanism also works as a dial for the minimum volume setting (1/1000 scale).
- Colour Coded: The Nexty micropipette buttons are colour-coded by volume for at-a-glance identification - another great design feature supporting efficiency and accuracy.
- Lock Lever: The Nexty series has a lock lever for the push button and turbo dial to prevent deviations in volume setting during use or storage.
- Eject Button: The eject button is large, easy-to-find. Will reduce your tip ejecting workload.
- Scale Volume Indicator: The large, three-digit indicator is easy to interpret at a glance. The scale is reducible to a volume of 1/1000 of maximum.
- Ergonomic Design: The micropipette’s design has a comfortable, secure grip that ensures easy handling.
- Quality Control: Quality inspection of every unit occurs in a dedicated controlled environment according to ISO8655 standards. You can be certain that a Nexty micropipette will comply with the requirements of any lab.
- Built to last: Nexty constructs its series of micropipettes using strong, lightweight PBT plastic to guarantee a long working life - and you have the extra backing of Instrument Choice’s risk-free purchasing guarantee!
Types of Micropipettes in the Nexty Series
1. Single Channel Micropipettes
Nexty Single Channel micropipettes are short in length and fit comfortably in your hand. The lower portion of the micropipette (i.e., the nose and eject cone) can be removed and autoclaved. Review the specifications of the three available models in Table 1 (below):

*Using a specialised tool, the fixed volume micropipettes can be customised to a required specific level. The tool for volume changes is sold separately – Contact us for more information.
3. Multi-Channel Micropipettes
The multi-channel micropipettes feature a “Perfect Fit Mounting System”. The suspension within each nose cone moves independently to ensure the uniform loading of micropipette tips. See the two available models in the multi-channel series in table 3 (below).

Autoclavable Micropipettes
High-grade autoclavable plastics and metal internal components work together to provide superior strength and extended operational life. You won’t need to dismantle your micropipette for sterilisation - place the whole unit in an autoclave at 121℃ for 20 minutes, let it cool, and use – it’s that easy!
