Not only are Thermo Scientific Matrix Single Channel Electronic Pipettes lightweight and comfortable, but the step-based programming allows you to perform pipetting routines that would either be cumbersome or just plain impossible with manual pipettes. What used to take many motions of the thumb and manual adjustment of a volume knob can now be accomplished with the light touch of a button.
Lightweight, ergonomic design increases comfort and reduces the risk of repetitive stress injuries
Trigger-based operation and tip ejection eliminates use of thumb; reduces strain when ejecting tips
Step-based programming makes it logical, intuitive and easy to create programs. Enables the electronic pipette to perform all the tasks you might do with a manual pipette - only faster and with less effort - as well as functions that would be impossible with manual models
On-board memory saves six programs (up to 40 steps each) allowing you to spend more time pipetting, less time programming
Five volume ranges available increasing flexibility to perform everything from micropipetting to large volume repeat dispensing
Advanced battery technology allows days of work between charges, no memory effect
Stepper motor technology and error correction software ensure accurate and precise pipetting, even when performing incremental dispensing or when operating at top or bottom of pipette's volume range
Pipette can be used while plugged in so there is no down time during recharging
Ergonomic Design
Light, well-balanced, and incorporates a highly leveraged tip ejector that utilizes two or three fingers (and not the thumb).
Allows you to automate anything you would do with a manual pipette. For example, you could aspirate 50µL, and then dispense 10µL, 10µL, 10µL, and finally 20µL while setting specific dispense speeds for each. Or, aspirate 20µL of sample and then 200µL of diluent, mix the two together and dispense. All functions can be linked together (up to 40 steps) and saved for future use (up to six programs can be stored in memory.)
Individual Speed Control
Five variable speeds are available for each step of your procedure (aspirate, dispense, or mix). This provides flexibility to either perform a rapid dispense or a slow controlled dispense (perfect for loading gels or dispensing small volumes) depending on your needs.
Light Tip Application and Ejection
Made possible because the pipette was designed in conjunction with Matrix pipette tips for superior fit with minimal application/ejection forces.
Comprehensive Warranty/Calibration Services
Matrix Electronic Pipettes are warrantied for a full year from the date of purchase. Calibration services are offered that not only calibrate your pipette, but provide preventive maintenance as well. The entire pipette is thoroughly checked prior to calibration, and any worn components are replaced as part of the service. If you have several instruments in your lab, special discounts on service or extended warranty agreements may apply. Contact your sales representative to discuss what options might work best for you.
Applications
