The lightweight, ergonomic pipette controller features two main function buttons for complete control over filling and delivery. An integrated speed control dial allows you to adjust continuously how slowly or quickly you want to take up liquid, while a simple flick of a switch changes the dispensing method from power assisted to non-power assisted.
Built-in non-return valve combined with a membrane filter protects against penetration of liquids. To protect the controller from internal corrosion, vapors are expelled from the front of the unit, away from the operator and not through the pump. The silicone adapter included with the controller provides a tight fit for all graduated and volumetric glass or plastic pipettes in the volume range of 0.1 mL to 200 mL. The adapter along with the filter and nosepiece are autoclavable at 250°F (121°C).
A rechargeable NiMh battery provides up to 8 hours of nonstop pipetting on a 4-hour charge. LED indicator flashes when 2 hours of pipetting time remain.
