Sartorius Picus 2 Single-Channel Electronic Pipettes

The Sartorius Picus® 2 Electronic Pipettes combines reliability with an unmatched ergonomic design to reduce strain while ensuring reproducibility of pipetting results. Save time in the lab with easily accessible pipetting modes and customizable programs for popular applications. The Picus 2 Electronic pipette is as intuitive to use as a mechanical pipette but offers advanced options for experienced users.

Every user can achieve consistent pipette results thanks to the accurate electronic pipetting technology of the Picus 2 pipettes. Microwell plate dispensing is more reliable due to the integrated plate tracker. Repeated blowout function ensures that every drop of the sample is recovered. Even with challenging liquids, a calibration adjustment feature offers the highest level of accuracy.

With Picus 2's streamlined design and exceptionally light weight (only 100 grams), pipetting is genuinely effortless. Both left- and right-handed users experience reduced muscl strain with the soft-touch operating button's convenient location and electronic tip ejection feature. This pipette's finger hook and comfortable handle design allow it to sit comfortably in any user's hand.

Speed up repetitive, serial dispensing tasks and reduce the risk of manual error by using the multiple pipetting modes. Save valuable time and remove the guesswork with intuitive volume setting and menu navigation using the unique adjustment wheel.

Cleaning pipettes is an essential part of good laboratory practices and Picus 2 pipettes are easy to open to clean. The high-quality materials mean users can decontaminate the lower pipette components by autoclaving (excluding the 1,200µL multichannel models), with UV, or with disinfectants. Exchangeable Safe-Cone filters for the pipette tips cones are a cost-effective solution to cross-contamination between the sample and the internal parts of the pipette. Safe-Cone filters can be used with standard tips as a protective barrier.
