VistaLab Pipettes for Accurate Measurement of Liquids

Used to accurately measure and deliver volumes of liquids, pipettes are an indispensable tool in clinical laboratories and research facilities. This lab device features a piston that moves in a cylinder. It works by creating a vacuum above the chamber that holds the liquid and releasing the vacuum in a selective manner to draw up and distribute the liquid.

Vista Lab Ovation pipettes are amongst the most popular products in their class. They feature a unique ergonomic design, setting them apart from other models available in the market. These high-value pipettes come as fixed volume, variable volume and single channel and multi-channel devices and allow the user to maintain an ergonomically correct posture at each stage of the task. Single channel devices use one tip at a time whereas the variable volume models can be used for wide range of applications as it is possible to change the tip from standard to wide bore for more accurate dispensing of viscous liquids. The multi-channel instruments are used in ELISA, PCR, cell culture and other microplate applications.

Top Models

Ovation

Fixed Volume - These are ideal ergonomic choice for clinical or research settings where pipetting volumes never deviate from an exact protocol. They include both single stroke and two stroke (overblow) models in different volume ranges. Single stroke models are available in volume ranges starting from 5µL to 100µL and two stroke models in the 1µL - 1000µL volume range.

Adjustable Volume - Adjustable volume models features a low-force, form-fitting plunger that manually controls aspiration and dispensing speeds with minimal effort. These models allow the laboratory to set up and store five of its most frequently-used volumes for routine use and later recall. They are ideal for samples containing cells with fragile membranes that can be easily disrupted, or fluids that tend to bubble. These adjustable volume devices are available in the following volume ranges: 0.2-2µL, 1-10µL, 2-20µL, 10-100µL, 20-200µL and 100-1000µL.

Electronic Single Channel - Featuring fully electronic operation, this model is suitable for a comprehensive range of automated liquid handling functions. Easy-to-read display and simple-to-operate keypad allow fast recall and set up of user-defined pipetting protocols and selection of operating modes, volumes and speeds.

Electronic Multichannel - Electronic Multichannel models are suited to handle the complex demands of research and higher throughput testing environments. An intuitive user interface enables easy set up and use of liquid handling functions for pipetting and other related procedures.

MLA

MLA D-Tipper - Available in over 30 fixed volumes, from 5µL to 1000µL, the MLA D-Tipper is ideal for laboratories conducting repetitive pipetting procedures. It features a built-in tip ejector and low spring forces reduce thumb muscle activity. With a slim, tapered design along with detipping mechanism allows easy access to narrow diameter tubes.

MLA Micro D-Tipper - Built with aluminum and stainless steel, this model is quite easy to use and includes a built-in-tip ejector. It utilizes a smooth two-stroke action (with overblow) to achieve repeatable results and dependable performance on micro volume sample sizes.

MLA Digital - Ideal for use in laboratories that perform multiple or non-standard volume testing, this device features simple dial-in settings with "click stops" that provide fast and easy volume selection. Single-stroke operation makes this model easy to use.

MLA Precision - Suitable for performing a wide range of lab procedures requiring precision and accuracy, this model is factory calibrated for accurate volume delivery. It can be easily adjusted to obtain accurate performance on dense or vicious liquids.

MLA Macro Volume - This model features extra length and allows convenient aspiration from tubes, flasks and bottles. With relaxed grip design, low weight, and electronic operations, this model makes repetitive pipetting effortless.
