- Open connections for increased lab efficiency and setting new standards for electronic pipettes
- Fully motorized operation, paired with an app, ensures a repeatable workflow
- Ergonomic design, visual operation interface, and a comprehensive upgrade of pipetting experience
SHANGHAI, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Life sciences group Sartorius has launched the Picus® 2, a new member of its family of electronic pipettes. The Picus® 2 sets a new standard for electronic pipettes with advanced connectivity and superior pipetting performance for efficient, reproducible dispensing in biopharmaceutical and quality control applications.
When a pipette has real-time data logging and can be integrated with other devices, it will dramatically improve the productivity and data quality of the lab in a connected lab. Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the Picus® 2 electronic pipette has the flexibility to seamlessly connect to any data management system. Launched in conjunction with the Picus® 2, the pipetting app is a comprehensive pipetting solution designed for mobile devices.
Joni Åke, Product Manager Liquid Handling at Sartorius, said: "With the Picus® 2, we have transformed the pipetting experience by creating an electronic pipette that is the ultimate in connectivity. With its open connectivity, users can integrate the Picus® 2 into existing systems or pair it with the Sartorius pipetting app to access a vast and configurable library of workflows that enable step-by-step process guidance, software updates, and pipette management to streamline their daily lab work. "
Building on the success of its predecessor, the Picus® 2 combines sophisticated ergonomics, a wide range of pipetting modes and precise electronic pipetting performance. Its top-down ergonomics, light-touch operation, and electronic tip ejection not only improve overall comfort and efficiency, but also reduce the risk of strain. The large digital display and intuitive menus make daily operations easier, while secure password protection and customizable calibration reminders meet compliance needs.
"We designed the Picus® 2 to maximize usability and comfort, two key factors for reliable pipetting results." Sandra Söderholm, Sartorius Laboratories Application Development Scientist for General Products. "Although the Picus® 2 is capable of performing complex functions, it is as easy to operate as a manual pipette. The pipettes of the Picus® family are also synonymous with excellent ergonomics and strive for effortless and error-free pipetting. Ergonomic design, ease of use, and flexible connectivity combine to ensure accurate and reproducible pipetting workflows. "
The introduction of the Picus® 2 further establishes Sartorius as a leading supplier of laboratory products that streamline laboratory workflows and accelerate the evolution of the modern connected laboratory. The Picus® 2 pipette is available in single-channel models (volume range from 0.5 μL to 10,000 μL) and 8 multichannel models (volume from 0.5 μL to 1,200 μL). Sartorius also offers high-quality standard and filter tips. These tips are validated for use with the Picus® 2 in a wide range of experimental applications.
