Pipet-Aid® XP
The industry standard for laboratory sample handling. With an easily accessible 9-volt (Ni-MH) rechargeable battery and the ability to accommodate most pipettes from 1 to 100 mL, you'll have the flexibility to work wherever while sampling whatever.
The XP's speed settings for pipet filler and dispenser modes provide precise control and accuracy. The fast speed mode delivers up to 50 mL in 5 seconds, while the slow speed mode is ideal for using small pipettes or when you need more precise delivery. The double membrane filter prevents cross-contamination, and the EZ Grip nosepiece allows for quick and easy filter replacement should over-pipetting occur.
You can also opt for the gravity drain model, which substitutes a gravity drain function for the fast mode on the dispense button.
Upgrade your pipetting game today with the Pipet-Aid XP and experience why users worldwide make Drummond Scientific their sample handling partner.
Portable Pipet-Aid®
A must-have precision device for technicians and specialists worldwide. This reliable and durable tool ensures consistent and accurate results, making it an indispensable part of any laboratory. With cordless functionality and a flow rate of better than 25 mL in 5 seconds when using a 100 mL pipette, the Portable Pipet-Aid® is the go-to choice for professionals who demand the best.
Pipet-Aid® XP Gravity
Similar to our standard XP model but has two key differences. In addition to the burgundy-colored buttons, clip, and nosepiece, it features a gravity (G) setting that allows for the dispensing of contents without activating the motor. This method is commonly used with volumetric pipettes.

Operation - A standalone qPCR system with 10.3” touchscreen interface
Optics - 3 or 6 dye channel filters with LED based excitation for multiplexing
Speed - Fiber optic detection system scans 16 wells simultaneously
Durability - Tested reliability for over 1000 continuous runs
Connectivity - Easily export data via Wi-Fi, ethernet, USB or LAN
Capacity - 96-well format for semi-skirted or un-skirted plates and tubes
Thermal Performance - Marlow Peltier based block with 12 temperature gradient zones, ramp rates up to 6.0°C/sec

Sensitivity - Detect 2-fold differences in target quantities in singleplex reactions and up to 1 copy of amplified DNA, 10 logs of dynamic range
Competitor Q uses a single light source to excite all samples.
Differences in light path length lead to differences in excitation, which requires normalization. Though Competitor Q has said that they do not require normalization dyes, this is not reflected in the data as the data CV values for replicates is significantly higher.
Why doesn’t the Cielo™ require ROX dye?
The Cielo does not require ROX dye because it uses in-well detection technology. The light path for excitation and reading emission are collimated directly into the well. As such, the light path length is always the same for each well, so there is no need to normalize for varying light path length. The data from the Cielo is consistently uniform and reproducible.
