Intended Applications
This multichannel pipette is designed for high-throughput liquid handling in laboratory environments. It is particularly suited for applications such as:
- Pipetting in multi-well plates (e.g., 96-well formats) for assays, ELISA, PCR setup, and serial dilutions.
- Pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics requiring precise and efficient sample transfer.
- Genomics, proteomics, and cell culture workflows where multiple samples need to be handled simultaneously to improve productivity and reduce pipetting time.
Compatible Systems
- Tips: Exclusively compatible with Rainin LTS (LiteTouch System) tips, which provide a secure seal with minimal insertion force. Standard universal tips are not recommended, as the LTS design ensures optimal performance and reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
- Accessories: Works with Rainin hanging racks, stands, and calibration tools. Compatible with standard lab automation systems that support manual multichannel pipettes.
- Maintenance: The lower assembly is autoclavable, and it integrates with Rainin service kits for routine maintenance.
