SARTORIUS BIOHIT ePET Electronic Pipette – 5–100 µL

The Sartorius Biohit ePET Electronic Pipette (5–100 µL) is a precision liquid-handling instrument developed for laboratories that require accurate, repeatable and convenient transfer of small liquid volumes. It is suitable for routine laboratory operations involving microlitre-scale liquid measurement, aspiration and dispensing. The electronic operating system helps reduce the manual effort associated with conventional mechanical pipettes and supports consistent liquid-handling procedures.

The ePET electronic pipette operates using the air-displacement pipetting principle. It uses disposable pipette tips to aspirate and dispense liquid samples. Its microprocessor-controlled piston movement helps improve the consistency of pipetting operations and reduces the possibility of errors associated with manual operation. The instrument is particularly useful when repetitive pipetting tasks are performed during laboratory testing, sample preparation and analytical procedures.

This model has a visible operating volume range of 5 to 100 microlitres (µL), making it suitable for handling small quantities of reagents, buffers, biological samples, chemical solutions and other laboratory liquids. The electronic control system allows the user to select operating parameters through the integrated keypad and digital display. The display provides information about selected settings, programmed volumes and operating status.

The instrument features an ergonomic handheld design with a comfortable grip and convenient operating controls. Its lightweight construction is intended to reduce hand fatigue during extended laboratory work. The conveniently positioned operating mechanism allows users to perform aspiration and dispensing procedures with less repetitive manual effort compared with conventional mechanical pipettes.

The ePET series supports different liquid-handling functions, including standard pipetting, multiple dispensing, dilution and mixing, depending on the selected operating mode. These functions make the instrument useful for laboratories performing routine analytical and experimental procedures.

Another important feature is its rechargeable battery system. The manufacturer's documentation describes a rechargeable NiMH battery and an AC/DC charging adapter. This allows the electronic pipette to operate without being continuously connected to an external power source. The direct charging arrangement also makes it convenient to use in laboratories where instruments are frequently moved between workstations.

The Sartorius Biohit ePET is suitable for pharmaceutical research laboratories, biotechnology facilities, educational institutions, clinical research laboratories, chemical testing facilities and quality-control departments. It can be used for reagent preparation, sample dilution, assay preparation, biochemical testing and other applications requiring controlled liquid transfer.

The instrument is designed to work with compatible disposable pipette tips. Sartorius Optifit tips and SafetySpace filter tips are recommended by the manufacturer to support proper compatibility and pipetting performance. Appropriate cleaning, maintenance, calibration verification and handling practices are important for maintaining reliable operation.

The Biohit ePET electronic pipette is a practical solution for laboratories looking for an electronic alternative to conventional manual pipettes. Its combination of digital controls, programmable liquid-handling functions, ergonomic construction and rechargeable operation makes it a useful instrument for everyday laboratory applications.

For laboratories handling small liquid volumes, this instrument offers convenient operation and helps standardise repetitive pipetting procedures. Before purchasing or putting a used instrument into service, its battery condition, display, keypad, aspiration and dispensing functions, calibration status and overall physical condition should be checked.
