Drummond Scientific : What floorutions for pipetting, microinjection and microdosing?

A global benchmark in pipette controllers, Drummond Scientific designs solutions that make lab work safer and faster: the Pipet-Aid for serological pipettes, Nanoject microinjectors, microcapillaries and micro-dispensing devices. Built for cell culture, R&D and quality control, these technologies combine ergonomic design, anti-contamination filtration and compatibility with all 1–100 mL serological pipettes, glass or plastic. Robust construction, consistent performance and a responsive spares service make them a staple across academic, biotech and pharmaceutical platforms.

A pioneer who reshaped laboratory practice

For more than half a century, Drummond has been a pioneer in laboratory liquid handling. The invention of the Pipet-Aid consigned mouth pipetting to history and set a new benchmark for safety and accuracy with serological pipettes. Building on that success, the brand expanded into calibrated microcapillaries, microdispensers and nanolitre injection systems for developmental biology and neuroscience. Based in the United States and distributed worldwide, it champions pragmatic engineering: simple, reliable, repairable instruments built to last, designed to meet the day-to-day demands of academic, industrial and quality control (QC) laboratories.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

At the heart of the range, Pipet-Aid pipette controllers set the standard for cell culture and sample preparation. Their responsive motor, dual aspiration/dispense speed, the hydrophobic filters with aerosol barriers and adaptable nosepieces ensure universal compatibility with 1–100 ml serological pipettes, glass or plastic. Light, well-balanced and available as handheld units or versions for use under hoods, they cut fatigue and make repetitive work more reliable.

For infinitesimal volumes, Nanoject delivers programmable nanolitre injections, ideal for embryology (zebrafish, Drosophila), DNA/RNA microinjection or neuroscience applications. Fine volume control and high repeatability safeguard sensitive protocols.

For micro-dispensing, Microcaps and Wiretrol systems provide calibrated volumes tailored to the needs of quality control, analytical chemistry and regulated laboratories: solvent transfer, calibrations, micro blood sampling via haematocrit capillaries. Made of borosilicate glass, they withstand aggressive solvents and minimise adsorption.

The reputation of Drummond rests on three constants: simple, robust mechanics; traceable consumables (filters, capillaries, batteries, pipette nosepieces); and repairability that extends instrument lifetime. For teams, that means less downtime, controlled costs and easier compliance (CE marking, phthalate-free options and low-emission alternatives depending on the reference). With Dutscher, these solutions meet the needs of culture platforms, R&D units and QC laboratories that demand accuracy, throughput and safety.

Frequently asked questions about the Drummond brand

Are Pipet-Aid units compatible with all serological pipettes?
Yes. Compatible from 1–100 ml, in glass or plastic. Interchangeable nosepieces and holder cones ensure a tight seal and secure grip on standard tapered serological pipettes.

How does Drummond minimise contamination?
Hydrophobic aerosol-barrier filters protect the motor. Replace if saturated/after splashes, or in line with your lab’s quality policy.

What’s the runtime of a Pipet-Aid?
Typically a full day of pipetting in most workflows. Rechargeable battery; some models can run from mains power. Use original chargers and battery packs only.

Which spare parts are available?
Filters, nosepieces/adaptors, membranes, batteries, stands and capillaries. Dutscher supplies official part numbers to maintain performance and compliance.

Are the instruments CE-marked?
Yes, for the relevant models. Materials and design meet laboratory requirements. Declarations and datasheets available on request.

What is Nanoject used for?
For programmable nanolitre injections into embryos, tissues and animal models. Uses pulled glass capillaries for ultra-precise, repeatable volumes.
