To rapidly increase the throughput of sample transfers from tube racks to microplates, we have created the Thermo Scientific Matrix EXP Pipette. This unique electronic pipette increases productivity with an innovative adjustable tip system. Simply pull the rod to expand the tips to access test tube or microcentrifuge tube racks, 24 or 48 well plates, and then push the rod to compress the spacing to pipette into 96 well microplates. This feature allows you to transfer up to eight samples at once, and saves many motions of your arm and thumb when compared to performing this routine with single channel pipettes.
Allows you to automate anything you would do with a manual multichannel pipette.
Expandable Tip Spacing
The Matrix EXP pipette's tips can be expanded to access test tube racks, 24 well plates, and 48 well plates, or closed to work with 96 well plates. The Matrix EXP pipette facilitates sample transfers and enables them to be done much faster than pipetting one tube at a time with a single channel pipette. The Matrix EXP pipette can also be used as a standard pipette for 24 or 48 well plates.
If you require equal tip spacing between 9mm and 14.15mm, or would like to go down to 4.5mm spacing, see the Matrix Equalizer Pipettes.
Custom Spacing Available
If the current selection of Matrix EXP (or Equalizer) pipettes does not fit your particular needs, we can develop a custom EXP pipette with the exact tip spacing you require for your specific labware. Contact a sales representative for more information.
Light Tip Application and Ejection
Designed in conjunction with Thermo Scientific Matrix pipette tips, ensure superior tip fit with minimal application/ejection forces. Whichever Matrix EXP pipette you choose, you can be sure it includes all the other great features of Matrix Electronic Multichannel Pipettes.
