Features
P-1000 — The Next Generation Flaming/Brown Micropipette Puller
The P-1000 Flaming/Brown Micropipette Puller from Sutter Instrument represents the evolution of the world's most widely used micropipette puller technology. Built on the proven velocity-sensing Flaming/Brown mechanism and enhanced with advanced features, the P-1000 delivers maximum reproducibility and ease of use for pulling borosilicate, aluminosilicate, and other non-quartz glasses.
Innovative Interface
- Color touchscreen display — intuitive, full-featured interface for programming and monitoring
- Built-in Sutter Pipette Cookbook — over 100 pre-designed programs; simply select your glass, filament type, and pipette application
- Copy & paste functions for rapid program creation; Line Repeat mode simplifies multi-line programming
- Rotary dial available as alternative to touchscreen for numerical entry
Key Features
- Velocity-sensing (patented) — indirectly senses glass viscosity for reproducible results across all non-quartz glasses, including difficult aluminosilicate formulations
- ThermoLock™ Pre-Heat Mode — actively heats and controls jaw temperature before each pull for maximum program-to-program consistency
- Safe Heat Mode — prevents filament burnout by limiting heat settings
- Humidity Control Chamber — filament area purged with dry air before and after each pull to minimize environmental variability
- 100 program storage with 4 command lines per program and Line Repeat function
- Ramp Test stored per program — easy heat calibration and filament protection
- Jaw Temperature Sensor — monitors filament block temperature
- Comprehensive diagnostics: air pressure, filament burnout detection, pull results display
- Built-in glossary and help topics for on-site troubleshooting
- Quality control: every P-1000 is run-in for 48 hours (2,800+ pull cycles); 7 pipettes examined by SEM before shipment
- Produces 2 identical pipettes per pull; tip diameters 0.06–3 µm; max taper 2 cm
- Max glass OD: 4 mm; compatible with borosilicate and aluminosilicate glass
