The i-Pipette Pro series offers high-performance pipetting for the lowest investment, bringing multichannel pipetting into reach for any laboratory.
These 96 or 384 channel high performance pipettors are ideal for low-volume or high-volume multichannel microplate pipetting and for serial dilution applications. Three models are available: The i-PP96-500 for working with higher volumes, the i-PP96-125 for lower volumes and the i-PP384 for low volumes with full 384 channel capability. The microprocessor-controlled pipetting mechanism provides accurate and precise pipetting of microliter volumes of samples into 96 or 384-well microplates. The high-speed pipetting system provides short processing times by delivering liquids through up to 96 or 384 channels simultaneously with precise volume control.
The Personal Pipettor (PP) is a popular series of affordable liquid handling systems with the versatility and reliability required for today’s demanding laboratory environment. The PP series offers the majority of automated features that many laboratories need at a reasonable price, making it possible for each technician to truly have their own “personal” pipettor.
The PP-M series uses Apricot Designs’ unique head design which employs high-precision manufacturing to produce reasonably-priced heads that are independent of the pipetting mechanism. The PP-M electronically clamps the pipetting heads in a manner of seconds, allowing simple and easy set-up for the task at hand. It will automatically index the pipetting head via software programming if necessary for accessing 384-well plates with a 96-channel version or 1536-well plates with a 384-channel version.
