Biohit launches a new autoclavable mechanical pipette range: Proline® Plus
Biohit, a leading manufacturer of liquid handling products, today announced the
launch of its new autoclavable mechanical pipette range, the Proline Plus
family.
In the new Proline Plus pipettor, Biohit has combined the basic functionalities
of the traditional Proline mechanical with new, state-of-the-art pipettor design
and technology. Particular emphasis has been put on safety, ergonomics, and
efficiency in pipetting, as well as on the high quality of the device. Novelties
- compared with the regular Biohit Proline - include a more ergonomic design,
reduced pipetting force, autoclavability, and improved UV light resistance, as
well as easier and faster maintenance.
Proline Plus is a mechanical liquid handling device with a robust design
suitable for all types of applications. The new pipettor allows for accurate and
precise results with low pipetting force. The slim tip ejector collar fits also
narrow tubes.
The new Proline Plus is fully autoclavable and resistant to UV light and a wide
range of chemicals. It is also easy to maintain and calibrate, as no opening
tools are needed and only 3-4 parts need to be cleaned. Additionally, the
pipettors are equipped with replaceable tip cone filters that give additional
protection against contamination thus improving the quality and safety of
pipetting.
Proline Plus is available in both adjustable single and multichannel models and
fixed volume single-channel models, in volume ranges from 0.1 µl to 10 ml. Like
all other mechanical pipettors from Biohit, also Proline Plus is CE/IVD marked
and comes with a 3-year warranty.
The new Proline Plus will be showcased at Medica, Düsseldorf, Germany, 14th to
17th November, hall 2, booth 2A49
