Your advantages:

+ High viscosity, high density, high vapor pressure – no problem, thanks to the positive displacement principle

+ Compatible with BRAND PD-Tips and other positive displacement tips

+ Robust, stable and functional

Repetitive pipette HandyStep® S

HandyStep® S – the repetitive pipette for so many applications! Ideal for routine or research applications in diagnostics, molecular biology, environmental analysis, and many more.HandyStep® S and PD-tips work on the direct displacement principle. This offers the highest-precision dispensing of liquid media with high viscosity, high density, or high vapor pressure. Direct displacement permits contamination-free operation, since no aerosols are formed. More data and facts: increased chemical resistance through innovative plastic materials easy tip mounting – PD-tip is now simply inserted from below dispensed volume range from 2 µl to 5 ml up to 49 dispensing steps weighs only 108 g suitable for use with BRAND PD-tips, Encode™ tips, Repet tips, Combitips®, Combitips® plus and other compatible dispenser tips. Einsatzgrenzen: Operating temperature of instrument and reagent should be between +15 °C and +40 °C (59 °F to 104 °F) (other temperatures upon request) Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar Viscosity: At 50 ml PD-Tip: 20 mPa s; at 5 ml PD-Tip: 260 mPa s; at 1,25 ml PD-Tip: 977 mPa

Ergonomic finger rest relieves strain on the hand

Its balanced weight distribution and the practical ergonomic positioning of operating elements makes work more efficient, even when pipetting long series. The positioning of the dispensing lever is easy on the thumb and the stroke can be set with one hand, even while wearing gloves. Tips can be ejected with the press of a button, without having to touch the tips, making tip ejection contamination-free.

 

The HandyStep® S repetitive pipette works with the original BRAND PD-Tips II. Tips from many other manufacturers can also be used, providing maximum flexibility.
