  electronic  pipette  series  is  a  high precision  and performance electronic  pipette  that 

achieves operability without putting a burden on the hand. 
This pipette is developed for the purpose to prevent RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) which may occur 
when repeatedly using a manual pipette, and does not require any special skill so anyone can easily 
and accurately dispense the specified volume. 
 

 

Pipette is operated by merely pressing a key, the degree

*1

 of fatigue is 1/100 or less of when 

using pipette manually.   

 

It has an ergonomic design, fitting the hand for easy adjustments and operation. 

 

Using a lithium-ion battery enables usage for long periods of time.
