1. Greatly improved ergonomic experience
Long term pipetting operations are often painful experiences and may even cause repetitive strain. By using an electric pipette, you no longer need to rotate the knob or plunger to adjust the amount of liquid to be transferred, and the piston can be operated with just one click without pressing the plunger. Your thumb, wrist, and hands will thank you for this!
2. Better accuracy and precision
The electric pipette uses a motor to control the movement of the piston, so you can accurately draw and distribute a pre-set volume every time. The pipetting process (including volume and speed) can also be pre programmed and saved on the pipette, so that it is executed in the same way every time. Due to everyone using the same pipetting procedure, human errors can be greatly reduced and differences between operators can be avoided, resulting in better repeatability, which means better results!
3. Simple and intuitive calibration
The calibration of electric pipettes is both simple and fast. You only need to verify the performance of the pipette (such as through weight testing), then enter the actual dispensing volume to compare with the target dispensing volume, and the pipette will calibrate itself. The built-in calibration reminder function helps to comply with SOP requirements, which is particularly important for GLP/GMP laboratories. In addition, an electric pipette can usually replace two manual pipettes because the motor can accurately, precisely, and repetitively control shorter travel distances, allowing for better performance in a wider range of pipettes. And if only one pipette needs to be maintained, the corresponding calibration time and cost will also be reduced.
