Pipette Controllers — Precision and Comfort Combined

Lightweight and cordless, the Midi Plus fits all commonly used plastic and glass pipettes. Users can both adjust the speed manually and achieve precise measurements. All the while, the controller's function will limit the possibility of human error.

The Midi Plus pipette controller is developed by Sartorius, a manufacturer renowned for innovative solutions that enhance laboratory workflows. Established in 1870, the brand has grown to be a global leader in laboratory and biopharmaceutical equipment. Their commitment to quality and precision has made them a trusted partner in the scientific community.

Enhancing Pipetting Efficiency: Key Features and Benefits

When choosing a pipette controller, precision, comfort and reliability are non-negotiable. The Midi Plus is engineered for scientists and lab professionals who demand efficiency without compromising accuracy. Here's what makes it stand out:

1. Intelligent Speed Control

Unlike basic controllers, the Midi Plus offers fine-tuned speed adjustments for aspiration and dispensing, allowing users to configure their workflow based on viscosity, volume and application requirements. This ensures reproducible results across multiple trials and reduces inconsistencies caused by manual handling.

2. Ergonomic and Fatigue-Reducing Design

Prolonged pipetting can cause strain and lead to repetitive stress injuries. Sartorius has designed the Midi Plus with an intuitive grip and cordless operation, making it comfortable for extended use. Unlike manual fillers, which require repetitive squeezing and can lead to hand fatigue, the Midi Plus offers a light-touch, pressure-sensitive trigger for smooth and controlled aspiration.

3. Fits All Commonly Used Glass or Plastic Pipettes

This pipette controller is compatible with all standard pipettes ranging from 1 to 100 mL, making it a versatile tool for various lab applications. The universal fit ensures seamless integration into existing workflows without the need for specialised equipment.

4. Extended Battery Life for Uninterrupted Workflows

Laboratory efficiency depends on tools that can keep up with demand. The Midi Plus features a powerful rechargeable battery, delivering hours of operation on a single charge. This eliminates downtime and enhances productivity in fast-paced environments. It also includes a low battery indicator that alerts users when a recharge is needed.

5. Trusted Sartorius Engineering

With over 150 years of expertise, Sartorius continues to lead in laboratory solutions, setting the benchmark for precision and durability. Their products undergo rigorous quality testing, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Key Laboratory Applications for Pipette Controllers

Cell Culture

Maintaining sterile conditions is crucial in cell culture work, where precision and contamination control directly impact results. Pipette controllers provide smooth and controlled liquid handling, reducing shear stress on delicate cells. Whether transferring media, adding reagents or seeding culture plates, a precise and ergonomic controller ensures reproducibility while minimising hand strain.

Liquid Preparation in Large Volumes

When handling large volumes of liquid, accuracy and speed are essential. Pipette controllers simplify bulk reagent preparation, buffer exchanges and solution transfers, offering consistent and effortless pipetting. This is especially useful in pharmaceutical, biochemical and analytical laboratories, where frequent liquid handling requires efficiency and repeatability.

Working with T-Flasks

Tissue culture flasks (T-Flasks) require careful liquid handling to prevent contamination and ensure uniform cell growth. A pipette controller enables gentle yet precise aspiration and dispensing, making media changes and cell passaging easier. The ability to use both glass and plastic pipettes adds versatility, while the ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during lengthy procedures.

FAQs

What is a pipette controller, and how does it work?

A pipette controller is a laboratory instrument designed to facilitate the precise aspiration and dispensing of liquids using serological or volumetric pipettes. It creates a controlled vacuum to draw liquid into the pipette and release it as needed. The Midi Plus offers electronic control for adjusting the speed and volume of liquid handling with ease.

Are pipette controllers compatible with all types of pipettes?

Most pipette controllers you can buy are compatible with a wide range of glass and plastic pipettes, ranging from 1 to 100 mL in volume.

How do I clean and maintain a pipette controller?

Regular maintenance of a pipette controller involves cleaning the nose cone, silicone adapter and replacing the hydrophobic filter as needed. Many components are autoclavable. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for disassembly and cleaning to maintain optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Can pipette controllers be used for both aqueous and viscous liquids?

Yes. Advanced models, like the Midi Plus, offer adjustable speed settings, allowing users to fine-tune aspiration and dispensing rates to accommodate liquids of varying viscosities. This adaptability ensures accurate and efficient liquid handling across diverse laboratory applications.

Are there any ergonomic features to reduce hand fatigue?

Modern controllers feature lightweight construction, contoured grips and pressure-sensitive buttons for user comfort. The Midi Plus is cordless, reducing the need for arm and hand elevation, decreasing the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

Do pipette controllers require calibration, and how often should it be done?

Pipette controllers do not require calibration, as they function as aids for manual pipettes. However, the pipettes used with the controllers should be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy. It's advisable to follow the pipette manufacturer's recommendations for calibration frequency, which often depends on usage intensity and specific laboratory protocols.

How long does the battery last on a pipette controller, and how is it recharged?

Most controllers are designed for long-lasting use with a rechargeable battery that provides several hours of continuous operation. The exact runtime depends on usage intensity and speed settings.
