Complete, compact tabletop micropipette beveler

WPI’s Micropipette Beveler, the BEV-1000, is a turnkey micropipette beveling setup with a large LCD display and an adjustable light source for excellent visibility during your beveling process. The syringe assembly allows for quick rinsing of your pipette before, during, and after beveling to ensure clean and clear capillaries for use with your applications. Our durable, proprietary abrasive diamond wheel does not need to be changed out over time, meaning zero down time for system maintenance. With easy, adjustable beveling speeds (up to 3,000rpm, vs most competitors >100rpm max speed) long, arduous beveling protocols are a thing of the past.

WPI’s Micropipette Beveler is the ideal platform for your beveling needs.

Details

Features

The BEV-1000 combines high-magnification imaging and precise mechanical control
to support accurate beveling across a wide range of glass capillary sizes, as outlined
below:

Total magnification (optical + digital): 230×
9” TFT panel display resolution: 1024 × 768
Beveling operation speed: 0 - 3,000 RPM
Flat diamond wheel with a surface variance of <2 μm/cm ensure you get a clean
bevel with less tip breakage
Compatible with range of glass capillary sizes, up to 3 mm outer diameter
Excellent flexibility and control over the finished beveled angle

Benefits

Large LCD screen for enhanced visibility, and reduced eye strain vs relying on microscope eyepieces for visualization
Adjustable speed and brightness all on one plane for easy adjustment during use
Protective tinted shield both defends against residual glass debris during beveling and brightness from light source
All-in-one system, all required components are included, no hidden costs or add-ons needed
Straightforward axis manipulation for pipette vs camera adjustment

*Note : Very small pipette tips (sub-micron range) may be beveled; however, measurement of the tip outer diameter below 8 µm is not verifiable using the integrated scale. External high-magnification microscopy may be required for smaller measurements.

**Note : The smallest measurement distance is 2.54 µm with 10× eyepieces, and the smallest verifiable tip size using the scale division on the monitor is 8 µm.
