Introduction

When creating new products, HTL always focuses on ergonomics, accuracy and precision. The new single channel DISCOVERY PRO pipette series is uniquely dedicated to the three key features. The contoured shape of the handle and finger-hook guarantee correct grip, reducing wrist strain and fatigue. The tip ejection force is reduced by more than 30% thanks to the unique pushbutton-lever system. In addition to the outstanding comfort, the new DISCOVERY PRO pipette offers quick and easy volume setting even when using gloves. All DISCOVERY PRO pipette models are fully autoclavable (121oC/100kPa/20 minutes) and can be safely sterilised with UV radiation. The DISCOVERY PRO is available in a full range of sizes, offering volumes of 0.2 – 2µl through to 100 – 1000µl. As well as individual pippettes, the DISCOVERY PRO is also available in a Starter Kit.

Remove the colour cap using the calibration key. Set the calibration switch to its upper position. Insert the calibration key into the ejector position. Turn the key so the volume indicated by the counter is equal to the average calculated volume. Remove the calibration key and set the calibration switch in the lower position. Place the cap on the ejector button.

  Pushbutton-lever system - reduces ejection force by over 30%!

  Easy maintenance - thanks to the revolutionary internal construction. All pipettes require periodic maintenance, depending on the applications performed and intensity of use. The subassemblies subject to action of aggressive solution vapors, such as shaft elements, should be regularly inspected and cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help to ensure the continuous performance of a pipette. The DISCOVERY PRO has been designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. External surfaces of the handgrip, knob and pushbuttons may be cleaned with a tissue dipped in isopropyl alcohol. The remaining elements removed from the pipette during disassembly can be washed with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol. It is not necessary to disassemble the entire set to inspect and clean the shaft.*  

Unscrew the shaft from the shaft holder set. When the shaft is removed, the seal and the o-ring are automatically moved out of the shaft holder set to make maintenance as easy as possible.
