Four ways to use an electronic pipette

Choosing between manual and electronic pipetting can be challenging. Manual pipettes are usually less expensive but have limited functionality and are often the culprit of hand fatigue in the lab. Electronic pipettes with electronic pipetting, on the other hand, can reduce thumb and wrist fatigue. They also improve efficiency by aspirating and dispensing programmed fluid volumes, while adjusting aspiration and dispense rates to ensure consistent results, regardless of operator or fluid type.

Here are some examples of how electronic pipettes can help you in your laboratory work. For these examples, we've highlighted how to use electronic pipettes to increase your pipetting productivity in these four common tasks. The pipetting system locks the tips firmly in place, so no matter how much pressure is applied, the tips will not loosen or leak.

Fill plate with reagent

With adjustable-spacing pipettes, you can fill an entire well plate in just a few quick movements. Electronic tip attachment and ejection help your hand relax for great comfort and ease of use.

Create a dilution series

Dilution involves multiple repeated pipetting steps including filling, mixing and dispensing. This can be improved with electronic pipettes, some of which can be programmed to mix samples and perform complete dilution series with ease.

Transfer a sample from one test tube to another

Easily transfer between different sized containers by sliding your finger on the equalizer pipette to adjust the tip spacing to the desired distance. You can save up to 80% in time when transferring samples from microcentrifuge tubes to 96-well plates using the electronic equalizer pipetting system.

Prepare the Reagent Master Mix

Work comfortably in a controlled airflow environment with a compact, lightweight single-channel electronic pipette with index-finger pipetting. Some pipettes come with an app that can be used to pre-program protocols and quickly transfer protocols to the pipette. For faster and even more reliable results.

Electronic pipetting technology makes everyday pipetting a new experience. The pipetting system locks the tips firmly in place, so no matter how much pressure is applied, the tips will not loosen or leak. The system facilitates consistent and repeatable pipetting from user to user, resulting in higher quality results and more efficient research.
