Mettler Toledo Rainin E4 XLS ​electronic pipette

The Mettler Toledo Rainin E4 XLS electronic pipette features high performance and ease of use. The company has drawn on advances in mobile phone and gaming technology, employing a fully functioning joystick, robust processor, carousel-like menu and large 16-bit colour screen. This makes operation highly graphical and far less linear. Navigation is also simplified, as moving between options and settings becomes fast and intuitive.

In addition to basic pipetting functions, the product offers an array of features that range from simple to highly complex. It can be easily programmed for almost any application, from setting up mixing protocols, such as serial dilutions, to volume sequencing, reverse pipetting and titrate. The product also features ‘True Manual’ mode, which gives researchers precise, real-time control over aspiration and dispense speed.

The pipette meets high standards for accuracy and precision. Careful attention has also been paid to the pipette’s balance and weight, making it comfortable and ergonomic. The contoured body, easy-to-reach controls and even balance minimise fatigue, even after hours of use.

The pipette is available as a single-channel, multichannel with eight or 12 channels, and 6- or 8-channel adjustable spacer in a wide range of volumes. All feature the company’s LTS LiteTouch System, which is said to significantly reduce the force required for tip ejection. Single-channel models are also available for traditional shafts.
