New Premium Comfort and Precision Electronic Pipettes

Researchers appreciate a pipette that is comfortable to hold and easy to use. Delivering on that promise, Wheaton announced the availability of a new line of electronic pipettes. Introducing Acura electro Pipettes, ergonomically  engineered electronic pipettes designed to provide researchers with the highest level of comfort and precision.

The Acura electro Pipette product line consists of three models for an extended range of sample handling  performance. The Acura electro 926X model comprises seven micropipettes, ranging in volumes from 0.1 to 1000μL; the 936 models includes three macropipettes with volumes ranging from 0.1 to 10mL; and, the Acura electro 956 offers eight multichannel pipettes with dispensing volumes from 0.5 to 350μL in 8- or 12-channel configurations. A unique feature of the electro line is that one control unit is capable of fitting on to any one of 27 volumetric assemblies, making electronic pipetting more affordable. Each microprocessor-controlled pipette features a lightweight design for maximum hand comfort and control.

Programming one of the six working modes is easy with intuitive software control. Tedious calibration procedures become obsolete with its swift-set user calibration system. Other user-friendly features include a pipetting cycle counter, an audible beep for switching on or off, a reduced shaft length on Acura electro 926XS micropipettes up to 1000μL, and the ability of the volumetric module to be autoclaved at 121°C.

The patented JustipTM height adjustment system permits for the optimal fitting and ejection of a wide  selection of tips, and tip ejection becomes easier than ever due to the low-pressure activation button.

When the pipettes remain unused, they automatically go into energy saving stand-by mode. The removable nickel metal hydride battery pack can be charged quickly on the convenient stand, which serves as a charging station.

Acura electro pipettes are supplied with individual QC certificates, attesting to the strict factory control and excellent performance values obtained. Manufactured in conformance with ISO 8655, IVD 98/79 EEC directives and CE safety guidelines, Acura pipettes are suitable for use in laboratories that observe international quality standards such as current Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Each pipette comes with a two-year warranty.
