Pipette Carousel
Pipette Carousel (Product Code: SLE/ME/24) is a UV-C decontamination carousel used to hold single-channel pipettes and expose them to ultraviolet light to reduce DNA contamination in molecular biology and PCR laboratories. It takes 6 pipettes in a universal holster, surrounds them with a UV-C lamp and mirrored reflector for 360° exposure, and runs a fixed 28-minute cycle on a compact 17 cm footprint. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

What Is a UV Pipette Carousel Used For?
Pipette shafts and ejectors pick up invisible traces of DNA and amplified product, which can carry over into later PCR reactions and give false results. Placing the pipettes in the carousel between sessions exposes their outer surfaces to 254 nm UV-C light, which damages residual DNA on those surfaces. It is used in PCR set-up areas, molecular biology teaching labs and forensic-science practicals where clean pipettes matter.
Wipe away any visible spills first, since UV acts only on surfaces the light reaches, then load the pipettes into the holster and start the cycle at the end of each session. UV-C light is harmful to eyes and skin, so never look directly at the lamp while it is on. UV treatment complements, rather than replaces, filtered tips and good bench practice.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Your site mains supply, compared with the listed 100 V, 50 Hz, 1 A rating.
- Number of units needed, remembering each carousel takes 6 single-channel pipettes.
- Whether you want to ask about replacement UV-C lamps (the lamp is rated 2,000 hr).
- Whether a plain, non-UV stand is also needed for everyday pipette storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pipettes does the Pipette Carousel hold?
The Pipette Carousel (SLE/ME/24) holds 6 single-channel pipettes. Its universal holster is designed to fit all pipette brands, so a lab with mixed pipettes can decontaminate a full working set in one 28-minute cycle.
What UV lamp does the Pipette Carousel use?
The Pipette Carousel uses a 254 nm UV-C, non-ozone lamp rated at 450 mW and 2,000 hr, backed by a mirrored, aluminium-coated polyester reflector. Together they give 360° exposure and are specified to destroy 99% of DNA contamination.
What power supply does the Pipette Carousel need?
The Pipette Carousel is listed with an electrical rating of 100 V, 50 Hz, 1 A. Mains voltage differs between countries, so state your local supply when requesting a quotation and discuss the power arrangement with us before ordering.
Can the cycle time of the Pipette Carousel be changed?
No. The Pipette Carousel has a fixed cycle time of 28 minutes, so every run gives the same exposure. Start the cycle, leave the pipettes in place until it ends, and keep eyes and skin away from the lamp while it is lit.
Does the Pipette Carousel replace filtered pipette tips?
No. UV exposure in the Pipette Carousel treats the outer surfaces of pipettes, but it does not stop aerosols entering a pipette during use. Most PCR labs combine it with filtered micropipette tips, separate work areas and routine bench cleaning.
Who supplies the Pipette Carousel?
The Pipette Carousel is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to research, teaching and diagnostic laboratories in India and international markets. Send your quantity and site voltage through the contact page for a quotation.
