Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced the Thermo Scientific Finnpipette F3 Series, further extending the Finnpipette® product family. This entry-level series includes eight single-channel models covering 1 µl to 10 ml, as well as nine fixed-volume pipettes (1 µl to 1 ml) for assured versatility. Offering superior accuracy and the highest levels of pipetting precision, this series of pipettes is ideal for clinical, government or educational use. Adding the F3 series completes the full range of Thermo Scientific Finnpipettes.

Each color-coded Finnpipette features a revolutionary double-action pipetting push-button. The rotating upper part of the push-button is designed to prevent any accidental volume alterations while pipetting. The Advanced Volume Gearing Mechanism allows superior volume precision to two decimal places. The Finnpipette F3 Series incorporates a range of novel ergonomic features to minimize the occurrence of repetitive strain injury (RSI). The handle softly contours the shape of the user's hand, and the improved wide-supportive finger rest allows the user to relax their hand between pipetting actions. The smooth round-shaped tip ejector is safe to use with gloves and the wide top permits easier tip ejection. The larger display makes the numbers easier to read and allows volumes to be set quickly, so the researcher can focus on their work.

As the latest addition to the Finnpipette product family, the new F3 Series is compatible with most common tips, which are available as standard, sterilized racked or refill kits. For further information, please visit www.thermo.com/finnpipette.
