Pipet-Plus pipettes are manufactured underU.S. Patent Nos. 5,364,596, 5,614,153, 5,700,959, 5,792,424, and5,849,248. Other U.S. and national patents pending.
IntroductionRAININ Pipet-Plus pipettes redefine manual pipetting. Pipet-Plusdiffers from conventional manual pipettes by using a latch triggermechanism and aspiration rate controller. These featuresimprove precision from sample to sample and from technician totechnician.Designed as a system with thin-wall RAININ tips, Pipet-Plushelps reduce the risk of cumulative trauma disorders by reducingthe number of thumb strokes by 50% and by using light springand tip ejector forces.Piston Latch/Trigger Release: The patented piston latchsecures the piston at the zero point. A light touch on the triggerrelease starts the pick-up stroke.Aspiration Rate Controller: Pick-up stroke speed is governedby a patented aspiration rate controller that can easily be setfor fast or slow operation, depending on sample viscosity. Evenat the fastest setting, piston speed is constrained to prevent samplesplash.Volume Lock: The variable-resistance volume lock preventsinadvertent changes to the volume setting. The volume settingcan be locked or unlocked by turning the control wings.Plunger button /volume adjustmentTrigger release forpiston latchDigitalvolumeindicatorAspiration RateControllerVolume lockTip ejectorbuttonBody:high-impact,low thermalconductivityplasticShaftStainless steel tipejector armDisposable tipFigure 1Pipet-Plus 200 µL1
