Did you know that lab professionals have twice as much WRULD (Work Related Upper Limb Disorder) as employees in general?

The risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) increases, when pipetting over 1.5 hours/day. Pressing the plunger button as well as ejecting tips with a mechanical pipettor together requires a force of up to 70 N. This corresponds to the weight of 7 kg (15.4 lbs)! Repeating such a task several hundred times per day, it is quite reasonable for lab workers to expect serious fatigue in the muscles of the hand and forearm.

Ergonomics has been one of Biohit’s main concerns in product development for over 15 years. Thanks to the extensive research and development efforts, Biohit is proud to offer the most ergonomic and user-friendly liquid handling products available today.

Take for example the mechanical Biohit mLINE pipettor that offers the latest innovation in manual pipetting. Health & Safety Officers of leading pharmaceutical companies recommend mLINE for ergonomic reasons, as well as for its ease of use. The mLINE features light weight for easy liquid handling and a unique spring mechanism resulting in the lowest pipetting force in the market, regardless of the volume being handled. As the hand doesn’t get tired, this allows for excellent accuracy and consistent results even in long pipetting series.

The force required to eject tips with conventional technologies can vary a lot between different models. However, a special tip loading mechanism in mLINE enables perfect and safe tip sealing to the tip cone(s) with minimum force, as well as light tip ejection. This is an advantage in multichannel models in particular.

Additionally, mLINE is designed for both left and right-handed operations and it fits comfortably in the user’s hand.

Biohit mLINE single and multichannel pipettors cover the full range of 0.1 µl to 5000 µl.
