Integra SWITCH - the hybrid pipette that does it all
Finding the right pipette often means choosing between control and efficiency. Manual handheld pipettes offer the necessary control over liquid handling – making them ideal for tasks such as mixing, dissolving pellets or removing supernatants – but typically fall short for repetitive steps like aliquoting. Electronic or repeater pipettes simplify these workflows and reduce the hand strain associated with manual workflows, but come with several limitations: higher costs, the need for user set-up and a less intuitive feel than manual options. The SWITCH hybrid pipette replaces individual manual and electronic pipettes with a single solution, eliminating the need to compromise. No need to change your manual pipetting habits Maintain precise liquid control for every application, comparable to a traditional mechanical pipette. Less time needed for aliquoting Dispense multiple aliquots from a single aspiration in repeat dispense mode, without the need for complex user configuration or training. Reduced RSI risk An optimized plunger height, super low plunger force and effortless tip ejection help to minimize hand strain.
