All forces necessary to pipetting task dramatically decreased*.
•
Full autoclavability for variable volume models.
•
Lockable volume for variable volume models.
•
2D code for traceability.
•

•
For the single variable volume models: choice between a plastic ejector and a stainless steel ejector.
* Implementation of new features to improve dramatically pipetting comfort has no impact on the
legendary robustness, accuracy and precision of
