Biohit launches a new autoclavable mechanical pipettor range: Proline<sup>®</sup> Plus

30 Oct 2007

Biohit today announced the launch of the new autoclavable mechanical pipettor 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.
