Multichannel pipettes are an enhanced version of the classic pipette, a handheld tool that dispenses precise amounts of liquids across multiple channels. Ideal for high-throughput applications, multichannel pipettes are available manual or electronic in 8- or 12-channel formats. Rainin offers ergonomic multichannel pipettes with superior sample pickup across all channels. For a variation of the multichannel, the adjustable spacer accurately pipettes samples from tubes with a flick of the wrist.

A multichannel pipette is a handheld mechanical instrument used in many life science laboratories. Multichannel pipettes typically have either 8 or 12 channels that can transfer small volumes of liquid simultaneously through individual tips.
The multiple channels enable the uptake of samples several times in parallel, increasing the throughput of workflows involving 96- or 384-well plates. Multichannel pipettes are available in manual and electronic models. The volume of liquid transfer, required precision and degree of repetition are factors to consider when choosing between the two.
Multichannel pipettes are recommended when transferring reagents from reservoirs into well plates or between well plates of different sizes.
Multichannel pipettes offer the convenience of accelerating liquid transfer up to 12 times in a single operation when compared to single channel pipettes (e.g., transferring liquid 12 times using a single channel pipette is more time-consuming than using a 12-channel pipette).
There are many 8- and 12-channel pipettes offered on the market. But there are two reasons why Rainin multichannel pipettes are unique:
