Typical Volume Range

Units of this type are commonly compatible with pipettes from 0.1 ml to 200 ml.

Power Supply

This class of equipment typically operates on rechargeable NiMH batteries, with an inductive charging station requiring a standard mains connection (e.g., 230V AC, 50Hz for UK).

Dispensing Mechanism

Features fine dispensing valves, often with ceramic components for chemical resistance.

Speed Settings

Typically offers multiple adjustable speed stages for both aspiration and dispensing.

Filter Protection

Commonly includes a hydrophobic PTFE diaphragm filter (e.g., 0.2 µm) to prevent contamination.

Pipette Compatibility

Designed to securely seal with most standard measuring, volumetric, and Pasteur pipettes.
