Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel Pipettes

Ergonomic single-channel pipettes for precise manual liquid handling, dependable accuracy, and comfortable everyday lab use

Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel Pipettes

Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes are designed for precise, comfortable manual liquid handling across routine laboratory, analytical, and research workflows. Chrom Tech supplies Hamilton pipettes as an authorized distributor, helping laboratories select the right single-channel pipette configuration for accurate day-to-day volume transfer. These pipettes are built to combine ergonomic handling with dependable pipetting performance, making them a practical choice for laboratories where both accuracy and user comfort matter over repeated use.

Hamilton offers SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes in both adjustable-volume and fixed-volume formats, giving laboratories flexibility based on workflow needs. Adjustable-volume models are designed for users who need one pipette to cover a range of transfer volumes, while fixed-volume models are often preferred when the same volume is dispensed repeatedly and consistency is the main priority. Across both styles, Hamilton emphasizes ergonomic design, factory-calibrated performance, autoclavability, and easy in-lab calibration to support reliable long-term use.


Why Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel Pipettes Are Used

Single-channel pipettes remain essential in laboratories because many workflows still depend on precise one-at-a-time liquid handling. Sample preparation, reagent addition, standards work, dilution steps, and general bench transfers all require a pipette that can deliver volume accurately while remaining comfortable enough for frequent use. Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes are used because they are designed around both of these needs, combining precise liquid handling with ergonomic features that help reduce hand strain during extended pipetting sessions.

This combination is especially important in routine lab work where the pipette may be used throughout the day. A manual pipette that is accurate but uncomfortable can contribute to fatigue and inconsistency over time. Hamilton’s SoftGrip platform addresses this by pairing reliable liquid handling with a lightweight body, soft non-slip grip, and low-force operating feel, helping users maintain better comfort and more consistent technique across repeated transfers.

Adjustable and Fixed Volume Options for Different Workflows

Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes are available in adjustable-volume and fixed-volume versions to match different laboratory priorities. Adjustable models are well suited for workflows where transfer volumes change regularly, allowing one pipette to cover a defined volume range without needing to switch tools as often. Hamilton’s adjustable single-channel SoftGrip pipettes are available in multiple color-coded models covering a broad volume range, which helps laboratories organize pipette selection more clearly across different methods and volume needs.

Fixed-volume SoftGrip pipettes are designed for tasks where the same transfer volume is used repeatedly and consistency is the main goal. In these workflows, a fixed-volume pipette can simplify operation and support dependable repeat dispensing for standardized procedures. Together, these two formats make the SoftGrip single-channel line useful for everything from flexible bench work to highly repetitive, volume-specific laboratory routines.

Built for Ergonomics, Calibration, and Everyday Lab Reliability

Hamilton’s SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes are designed with ergonomic and maintenance-related features that support daily laboratory use. The pipettes are autoclavable, include chemically resistant ejection sleeves, and are designed for straightforward in-lab calibration using Hamilton’s universal calibration key. These features help laboratories maintain pipette performance while reducing dependence on outside service for routine calibration adjustments.

Hamilton also emphasizes the accuracy and precision of the SoftGrip line through factory calibration and ongoing maintenance support. For laboratories that depend on consistent manual pipetting, these design choices help support reliable day-to-day performance as well as longer-term confidence in measured transfers. Whether the need is flexible adjustable-volume pipetting or consistent fixed-volume dispensing, Hamilton SoftGrip Single Channel pipettes provide a practical solution for accurate and comfortable manual liquid handling.

Key Definitions
SoftGrip Single Channel Pipette
A Hamilton manual pipette designed for one-tip liquid handling, combining ergonomic comfort with precise aspiration and dispensing for everyday laboratory work.
Adjustable-Volume Pipette
A pipette that allows the user to set different transfer volumes within a defined range. Hamilton SoftGrip single-channel adjustable models cover volumes from 0.2 µL to 1000 µL across multiple color-coded pipettes.
Fixed-Volume Pipette
A pipette designed to aspirate and dispense one preset volume, often used when the same transfer volume is repeated regularly for better workflow consistency.
Isolated Volume Adjustment
A pipette design feature that separates volume setting from regular handling, helping reduce accidental changes to the selected volume during use.
Dual Indicator
A volume-display feature used on Hamilton SoftGrip pipettes to make the selected setting easier to read and help reduce setup errors.
Factory Calibration
A calibration process completed by the manufacturer before shipment to verify that the pipette performs within specified accuracy and precision targets.
In-Lab Calibration
A user or laboratory maintenance procedure used to verify and adjust pipette performance over time. Hamilton SoftGrip pipettes are designed for easy in-lab calibration using a universal calibration key.
Autoclavable Pipette
A pipette designed to withstand autoclaving so it can be sterilized for laboratory use where cleanliness and contamination control are important.
Chemically Resistant Ejection Sleeve
A pipette component designed to tolerate common laboratory chemical exposure while supporting smooth pipette tip ejection during routine use.
Single-Tip Liquid Handling
A pipetting workflow that uses one tip position at a time for transfers such as sample preparation, reagent addition, standards work, and general bench liquid handling.
