Thermo Scientific Matrix Multichannel Electronic Pipettes allow you to utilize the power of electronic pipetting in microplate formats. In addition to an ergonomic design, our pipettes feature step-based programming that allows you to perform pipetting routines that would either be cumbersome or even 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.

Product Detail
Benefits
Lightweight, ergonomic design increases comfort and reduced 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 pipette to perform all the tasks you might do with a manual pipette—only faster and with less effort—as well as functions such as serial dilutions across a microplate
On-board memory saves six programs (up to 40 steps each) allowing you to spend more time pipetting, less time programming
Large volume capacity of 1250µL per tip allows you to fill an entire microplate with up to 100µL per well from a single aspiration
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 a pipette's volume range
Pipette can be used while plugged in resulting in no downtime during recharging
Well-Balanced, Ergonomic Design
Keeps your hand close to the pipetting surface and features a tip ejector that utilizes two or three fingers, not the thumb.
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.
Wide Selection of Volume Ranges and Channels
8, 12, or 16 channel models are available for performing everything from microvolume pipetting in a PCR plate to filling microplates.
Allows you to automate anything you would do with a manual multichannel pipette. For example, you could aspirate 1200µL, and then dispense 50µL to the first two rows, then 100µL to the next 10 while setting specific dispense speeds for each. Or, aspirate 20µL and then 200µL of diluent, then repeat per each row of a plate for an in-plate serial dilution. 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, depending on your needs.
Comprehensive Warranty/Calibration Services
Matrix Multichannel 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.
