Liquid Handling

Transferpette ® S -8/-12A Closer Look...Easy Handling – a particular advantage of the new multichannel pipette is the easy operation,e.g., when performing serial pipetting of immunological assays, while making serial dilutionsor when filling 96-well plates for cell cultures.Pipetting buttonThe centrally mounted, largepipetting button allows uniformsmooth movement of the piston.Ejection buttonErgonomically arranged, withcolor code according to volume rangeVolume-change protectionA lock prevents unintendedvolume adjustments.Volume adjustmentTrue one-handed volumeadjustment for right- and lefthandedoperators – even withgloves.Easy Calibration TechniqueChanges from factory settingsare externally visible!(For more information, pleasesee page 324.)Liquid Handling4-position volume displayMaximum precision, always easyto read with an integrated lens.Color codeManifold has volumerangecolor code foreasy visual confirmationwhile pipettingFinger restThe ergonomically designed finger resttakes the load off the hand. You don'tneed to grip the pipette tightly, so evenprolonged pipetting operations can becompleted with less fatigue.Completely autoclavableThe entire instrument can be autoclavedat 121 ºC for maximum protectionagainst contamination.ManifoldCan be freely rotated by 360°in either direction.Stepped surfaceSealing ring of FKMShafts and sealing rings are made of resilient FKM material, and aredesigned so that only minimal attachment force is needed for solidand parallel tip seating. The stepped design allows the ejection forceto be sequentially distributed to the tips within fractions of a secondand thus drastically reduces the force required.Individual shafts withseals which can beeasily unscrewed withonly a supplied simplegripping tool. Tipcones and seals cannow be easily cleanedor replaced. This patentedprocedure eliminatesthe expense oflong service outages,providing long servicelife and low operatingcosts.www.brand.de51
