Ovation® Electronic Multichannel Pipettors
Patented, ergonomic self-standing design.
Ovation® Pipettors are engineered for comfortable, accurate, and consistent liquid handling. These pipettors have an audible “click” tip attachment to ensure consistent loading and are self-standing, keeping attached tips elevated off benchtop surfaces. An easy spring-loaded “flick” tip ejection keeps necessary thumb force low, reducing strain on users. Each volume of pipettor is color-coded for easy identification.
These pipettors also offer superior precision and protection, with nozzles featuring a filter to protect against fluid contamination. Ovation® Pipettors are available as single-stroke "to deliver" or two-stroke "to contain" operation. Each pipettor is individually serialized and comes with a calibration certificate and a two-year warranty.
Ovation® Electronic Multichannel Pipettors are available in 8- and 12-Channel and are fully electronic. Each Pipettor has three custom programmable volume presets.
Programmable functions for:
- multi-dispensing
- serial dilutions
- mixing
- reverse pipetting
- pipetting speed
Ovation® Electronic Multichannel Pipettors come with a power supply and shelf hanger.
