The Labnet Excel P3600L-1200 single-channel electronic pipette has an LCD screen, adjustable volume selection, and six pipetting modes. This pipette can store up to nine sets of operating parameters in memory, and it is used for transporting a measured volume of liquid. The LCD screen shows the pipetting mode, speed, volume, and battery life, and the four buttons on the face provide one-handed operation. Six modes include automatic standard and reverse pipetting, multiple dispensing, mixing, serial dilution, and sequential dispensing for flexibility in pipetting applications. A low-force plunger button is positioned on the back of the pipette body and is operated by the index finger to reduce hand muscle strain. The thumb-operated tip ejector requires low force, reducing thumb muscle strain. The autoclavable nose cone ensures sterility and helps avoid cross-contamination. Single-channel pipettes are typically used in biotechnology research, microbiology, and chemistry applications to aspirate, transport, and dispense a small, measured volume of liquid.
The Labnet Excel pipette has a motorized piston controlled by a microprocessor for accuracy and precision, and it verifies calibration between pipetting steps to ensure measuring accuracy. This pipette has a slim body design for access into narrow tubes, and the nose cone accommodates standard pipette tips. It comes with a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, battery charger, a shelf clip, calibration certificate, and instructions.
Pipettes are laboratory tools for collecting, transporting, and dispensing a small amount of liquid. Sometimes called pipets, pipettors, or chemical droppers, a pipette is composed of a tube that collects the measured substance and a mechanism to aspirate and dispense the substance. Some pipettes can measure a fixed volume of liquid, others are graduated to show the volume, while others can be set to measure a volume within a range. Pipettes can aspirate and dispense liquid manually, electronically, or with a pipette filler that can be motorized. Pipettes are available in a variety of sizes and designs, offer ergonomic features for often-repeated functions, can be autoclavable for reuse, or disposable. The type of pipette used is determined by laboratory applications. Pipettes are typically used in medicine, biology, chemistry, and biotechnology for liquid handling, sampling, testing, and cell culture applications.
