8 and 12 channel Models

2-20 µL, 20-200 µL, 30-300 µL, and 100-1200 µL Volume Ranges

 

• a magnet helps user locate and hold zero position
• low spring forces reduce risk of pipetting injury
• more consistent sample pickup

 

U.S. Patents 5,849,248, 5,614,153, 5,700,959. Other U.S. and international patents pending.

A magnet assists the thumb to feel and hold the piston at the zero position without strain, ensuring that the proper amount of sample is aspirated every time.

Magnetic assist allows the use of much lighter springs so there's less risk of cumulative strain disorders and less fatigue.

 

Pipet-Lite reduces plunger forces by 33% over traditional multichannel pipettes. (See graph at right.)

Right: Traditional 8-channel Manual Pipettes

Whether you use the 8-channel or 12-channel Pipet-Lite, LTS tips never require excessive force or jamming to mount evenly, so they eject easily. You'll feel the difference the first time, every time!

The liquid end can be rotated 360° for comfort and convenience. Like single-channel models, Pipet-Lite multichannel pipettes have a comfortable finger hook.

Digital volume adjustment

Easy one-hand volume adjustment is accomplished by simply turning the plunger button. The snag-proof design allows rapid volume adjustment even when wearing gloves. Easy-to-read digital indicators show volume settings directly in microliters, reducing the chance of error.

Volume lock

Once the volume is set, a slight turn of the volume setting lock will avoid accidental volume setting changes.

 

 

Both 8-channel (L8-) and 12-channel (L12-) models are available in two volume ranges, from 2-20 µL and from 20-200 µL
