DeNovix Squid Full Range Pipette (1–1000 µL)
Quote
The DeNovix Squid Full Range Pipette is a single-channel electronic pipette that handles the entire 1–1000 µL range in one device, and it joins the benchtop laboratory instruments available through ARES Scientific alongside the DeNovix CellDrop cell counters that share the same manufacturer pedigree.
Often described simply as the Squid, the Squid pipettor replaces a full traditional set from P10 to P1000 with a single full-range pipette, using two built-in tip modes and patented Dynamic Volume Control to move between micro-volume and large-volume work without swapping devices mid-protocol, which streamlines cell culture, molecular biology, PCR setup, serial dilutions, and reagent dispensing at the bench.
For laboratories standardizing their liquid handling, the Squid fits naturally beside related sample-preparation tools such as laboratory centrifuges and the workflow-focused automation and liquid handling enclosures in the wider laboratory equipment catalog, giving research, clinical, and pharmaceutical teams a consolidated source for instrument procurement.
Description
Squid Full Range Pipette – Product Highlights
- One pipette covers 1–1000 µL, so a single Squid does the work of an entire P10–P1000 set and clears the rack of dedicated pipettes from the bench.
- Patented Dynamic Volume Control pairs a tip selector mechanism with DeNovix microvolume motor control to maintain performance from sub-microliter volumes up to a full milliliter.
- Two built-in tip modes — Large (100–1000 µL) and Small (1–200 µL) — switch with a single press of the trigger so there is no need to change devices mid-workflow.
- Exceeds ISO 8655-2:2022 accuracy and precision across the complete range, giving labs an internationally benchmarked basis for instrument evaluation.
- Universal tip compatibility lets the Squid fit standard tips, while DeNovix-certified sterile, non-sterile, and filtered tips are validated for optimal results.
- Six software pipetting modes — Standard, Repeat, Reverse, Mix, Manual, and Custom — support diverse liquid handling tasks from one configurable device that complements precision scales and balances used in gravimetric workflows.
- Wireless and wired connectivity through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB-C enables custom protocol creation and sharing across multiple devices from desktop software.
- Ergonomic, balanced design with autoclavable tip holders and ejectors supports prolonged use and routine decontamination in busy molecular biology labs that also rely on microcentrifuges for sample preparation.
- All-day rechargeable battery with a full-color HD display and five color options keeps the instrument ready across a full research shift.
- Authorized DeNovix distribution: ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for DeNovix, ensuring genuine products backed by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions – Squid Full Range Pipette
What is a full range pipette?
A full range pipette is a single device that covers a volume span normally requiring several separate pipettes; the Squid handles 1–1000 µL alone, replacing a traditional P10 through P1000 set with one instrument.
How does Squid cover the full 1–1000 µL range in one device?
Squid uses patented Dynamic Volume Control, which combines a tip selector mechanism with DeNovix microvolume motor control and two built-in tip modes, Large (100–1000 µL) and Small (1–200 µL), that switch with a single press of the trigger.
Is the Squid pipette ISO 8655 compliant?
Yes; the Squid exceeds ISO 8655-2:2022 requirements for systematic error (accuracy) and random error (precision) across its complete 1–1000 µL range, validated using the gravimetric reference procedure under controlled conditions.
Does the Squid pipette use universal tips?
The Squid is compatible with universal pipette tips, and DeNovix also offers sterile, non-sterile, and filtered tips in 20 µL, 200 µL, and 1000 µL sizes that are certified for optimal accuracy with the device.
How is the Squid pipette calibrated?
The Squid follows standard gravimetric pipette calibration procedures and works with any accredited calibration provider, so labs can integrate it into existing schedules using analytical balances already in service.
What applications is the Squid pipette used for?
The Squid supports cell culture, molecular biology, PCR setup, serial dilutions, reagent dispensing, and general microvolume liquid handling, with software modes for repeat, reverse, and mix protocols across research, clinical, and pharmaceutical workflows.
