1. Product Description 

The Corning® Lambda™ EliteTouch™ single-channel pipettor 

is a volumetric instrument designed to measure and 

transfer liquids precisely and safely. It can accommodate 

volumes from 0.1 μL to 1000 μL depending on the model.
Corning Lambda EliteTouch 8-channel and 12-channel 

pipettors have been designed for microplate filling. 

The pipettors enable precise and simultaneous delivery 

of 8 or 12 preset volume doses of liquid. These pipettors are 

produced in four volume ranges: 0.5-10 μL, 5-50 μL, 20-200 μL, 

and 30-300 μL.

Corning pipettors operate on the air-cushion principle 

(i.e., the aspirated liquid does not come into contact with 

the shaft or plunger of the pipettor). The liquid is drawn 

to the disposable tips that are attached to the pipettor.
