PR1MA™ Long-Neck Pipet Controller
The PR1MA™ Long-Neck Pipet Controller is an advanced controller designed specifically for enhanced comfort and ergonomic pipetting, especially when working under hoods or in biosafety cabinets. Its extended neck design allows users to rest their elbow on the benchtop or work surface while pipetting—significantly reducing strain on the shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
This ergonomically engineered pipette controller helps prevent repetitive strain injuries by eliminating the awkward angles commonly required during extended pipetting sessions under the hood.
The PR1MA™ Long-Neck Pipet Controller also features a retractable kickstand, which folds out to support the pipette at an optimal angle when not in use and automatically returns to a neutral position to avoid interference during operation.
With a pressure-sensitive speed control, 8-hour rechargeable lithium battery, and compatibility with 1 mL to 100 mL serological pipettes, the PR1MA™ Long-Neck Pipet Controller is the ideal solution for lab professionals seeking comfort without sacrificing performance.
Key Features
- Long-neck design ideal for use under hoods and biosafety cabinets
- Promotes ergonomic posture – rest your elbow on the bench
- Reduces risk of repetitive strain injuries
- Retractable kickstand supports pipette when not in use
- Cordless and rechargeable – up to 8 hours of continuous use
- Pressure-sensitive speed control for precise aspirating and dispensing

PR1MA™ Touch Power Supply
- Touch screen control
- Bright color display
- Dual orientation, auto-rotating display
The PR1MA™ Touch is a workhorse electrophoresis power supply, ideal for the efficient separation of nucleic acids and proteins as well as basic western blotting applications. Four pairs of output jacks are wired in parallel for connecting multiple electrophoresis tanks. A color touch screen allows quick setting and monitoring of all run conditions, including run time, voltage, and current. Users can select “Constant Current” or “Constant Voltage” during an electrophoresis run, keeping the chosen parameter fixed as resistance changes. The dual orientation design with a rotating display allows the PR1MA™ Touch to be installed in the most convenient location, on a shelf or bench, saving valuable space.
The PR1MA™ Touch features a logical user interface.
Setting up an electrophoresis run couldn’t be easier; simply touch the parameter to select it, press the “up” and “down” arrows to adjust the value, and then touch “Start”. All parameters are always displayed, with no need to toggle between Time, Voltage, or Amperage. In addition, the run status is always displayed.
