Product Name:

Stripettor™ Ultra Pipet Controller

Catalog Number:

4099

The pipet controller does its job of accurately pipetting out the amount we want and it doesn't leak. It also allows options for how to dispense the solution and the speed.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Sterile transfer of media

Protocol Overview

This can transfer media quickly and in sterile conditions. Our lab uses maximum 35 mL; therefore, it is effective. The buttons and small LCD panel is very helpful for knowing what settings you are on and monitoring the battery life.

Tips

Make sure to clean the pipet-aid if you accidentally pipet liquid through the filter, otherwise the pipet-aid will not work.

Features Summary

It has buttons and an LCD monitor for easy control and for viewing the settings.

Summary

The Good

Very user friendly and reliable

The Bad

The pipet-aid dispenses rather haphazardly; therefore, using it for layering techniques would disturb other layers.

The Bottom Line

This is a great and reliable pipet-aid for daily use but not great for stable dispensing like Ficoll or Percoll.
