Electronic Pipette Dispenses Volumes of 0.1 µL - 5 µL

A new electronic pipette accurately dispenses small volumes of liquid. The pipette is suitable for handling 0.1 µL - 5 µL of liquid and is targeted especially for molecular biology laboratories. It is especially useful for applications such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and microplate pipetting.

The liquid is dispensed from the pipette tip very rapidly, which ensures that the tip is completely emptied. There is no need to touch the receiving vessel wall during pipetting and no drop of liquid is left at the tip. As a result, the handling of the liquid is contamination free, more precise, and faster than with other pipettes.

The biotechnology company Biohit (Neptune, NJ, USA) launched the electronic pipette under the commercial name eLINE 0.1–5 µL. The new pipette has a Super Pipetting (SP) feature and its rapid piston movement allows complete emptying of the tip, making it possible to dispense very small volumes from the air.

Pipetting small volumes against receiving vessel wall or under the liquid surface to get all liquid out of the tip causes contamination risk, decreased precision, and slow pipetting work. Usually contaminations can be avoided by changing the tip between dispensing, but with the eLINE 0.1–5 µL dispensing from the air enables continuous work with the same tip, as there is no need to touch the vessel or liquid.

Biohit Inc. is a subsidiary of Biohit Oyj (Helsinki, Finland) a company that develops, manufactures, and markets liquid handling and diagnostic products for use in health care, research, and industrial laboratories.
