Liquid Handling


Micronic North America has expanded its comprehensive line of Liquid Handling Products with SoftGrip Pipettes and the ML 600 series of Diluters and Dispensers.  Both the Pipettes and Diluters/Dispensers are designed with the user in mind with easy-to-use systems, high comfort and best overall accuracy and precision. 

The SoftGrip Pipettes have an ergonomic design that reduces the risk of repetitive-motion injury as well as lower risk fatigue because of low plunger force.  Comfort was key for the makers of the SoftGrip Pipettes but accuracy and precision were not compromised as accuracy and precision are guaranteed.  These pipettes are designed for all-day use if necessary and they were built to last.  The carousels and stands keep pipettes in easy reach and are constructed of heavy-duty, durable materials.  

               
Some other great features of the SoftGrip pipettes are the fully autoclavable universal tips, the easy maintenance and calibration, and the wide range of volumes available that are coded with bright vivid colors.  SoftGrip pipettes are also made in the USA. 


The Microlab 600, the latest upgrade from the Microlab 500, is a semi-automated liquid handling solution capable of dispensing and diluting repetitive applications.  The ML600 increases both throughput and consistency, while minimizing cost and wasted buffer. 

The ML 600 has a highly precise syringe pump with a graphical user interface designed to quickly and easily dispense and dilute liquids.  Dilutions, dispenses, titrations and more are visually displayed in real-time with just the touch of a button.  Dilution methods are stored on the system and recalled prior to use, ensuring that the same method is followed day in and day out.



Positive displacement system provides better than 99% accuracy, independent of a liquid's viscosity, vapor pressure, and temperature.  Inert fluid path minimizes sample carry over and improves compatibility with harsh chemicals.  

The ML 600 series of Diluters and Dispensers are perfect for a wide range of applications including: environmental, pharmaceutical, industry, mining, liquid scintillation, blood alcohol analysis, scheduled oil sampling, and construction.

Mobile Barcode Reader- PA600

Micronic NA has expanded its line of Barcode Readers with the new PA600 Mobile Barcode Reader.  This device is top of the line and provides optimal organization and benefits for your lab.  The PA600 comes standard with Bluetooth connectivity and WLAN as standard features which is different from old barcode readers that have to be connected to your PC to function.  You can synchronize the PA600 to your existing LIMS or database.  The PA600 offers maximum range and can go as far as your Wifi allows.  

This Mobile Barcode Reader can scan 1D and 2D barcodes along with RFID chips.  You can easily scan on the tubes, caps or racks.  The PA600 stores data captured from the barcodes or RFIDs in the unit itself.  You can scan the information into any Office application (Word, Excel, etc.) right on the device.  The data is very easy to see as well because the PA600 has a full color touchscreen that is easily navigable.  The PA600 also has an ergonomic alphanumeric keypad for simple data entry.  

The PA600 is lightweight, about 300g, and is small enough to fit inside of a shirt pocket.  But don't let the compact design fool you!  The PA600 is a powerful industrial device with a 520mHz processor and IP64 rating.  It can also withstand multiple drops of 4ft to a concrete floor without risk of damage.  This insures that your investment has not gone to waste and lowers the total cost of ownership.  The PA600 is also resistant to dust and moisture so nothing can stand in your way.
