Socorex Acura® electro 936 electronic macropipette
The macropipette presented here is designed for use in demanding laboratory environments and combines a wide volume range from 0.1 to 10 ml with outstanding precision. It is particularly suitable for fast and reliable dispensing of large volumes of liquids, as is often the case in biotechnological, chemical or pharmaceutical laboratories. Thanks to its ergonomic design and a powerful, microprocessor-controlled motor, it offers a user-friendly and precise alternative to conventional pipetting solutions.
Overview and key features
This electric pipette is characterized by a variety of sophisticated features that are specially designed for professional use in the laboratory. A large illuminated screen ensures that all relevant parameters are easy to read - for both right-handed and left-handed users. In addition, the rechargeable handle battery can be replaced quickly, which is a big plus, especially in continuous operation. The product is supplied with an individual inspection certificate and is usually manufactured in accordance with CE and ISO standards to guarantee consistently high quality. Additional flexibility is provided by interchangeable volume units and optional adapters for Pasteur pipettes, which can be used to efficiently cover different applications.
Most important technical data at a glance:
- Precise microprocessor-controlled motor control
- Dosing range adjustable from 0.1 ml to 10 ml
- Battery operation with fast charging option and long running time
- Adjustable tip ejection for common standard tips
- Protective filter for replacement during intensive use
- 3 models: 0.1-2 ml, 0.25-5 ml and 0.5-10 ml
- Very low imprecision (< 0.15-0.6 % depending on volume)
In addition to these points, the pipetting cycle counter is another special feature. It provides the user with specific information about the number of pipetting processes already carried out, which is of great importance for many documentation applications - for example in QC laboratories or research. To minimize cross-contamination, the user can also exchange the volume unit or use straw tips and Pasteur pipettes with the help of appropriate adapters.
Specific application scenarios
This pipette really comes into its own in areas where high accuracy and large volumes are required. For example, it can be used for measuring buffer solutions in molecular biology laboratories or in the production of cell culture media. In chemical laboratories, it is ideal for dispensing reagents such as ethanol, methanol or acetone, while in pharmaceutical environments, sterile solutions and test reagents often need to be prepared precisely. The device also proves to be extremely time-saving when preparing dilution series, as the motor-controlled pipetting guarantees a consistent process.
Handling and ergonomics
One of the device's key features is its user-friendly ergonomics. Thanks to its low weight and optimally shaped handle, the instrument is comfortable to use even after long pipetting series. The intuitively designed software provides a total of six different pipetting modes, including standard step, multiple dispenser and reverse pipetting, so that different laboratory requirements can be met flexibly. All settings are controlled via a user-friendly menu that is very easy to learn.
Those who do not want to compromise on safety and reproducibility will benefit from the robust design of the electronic macropipette. The precise control prevents uncontrolled dripping and thus reduces the risk of errors. A replaceable precision filter protects the inner workings from damage caused by liquid backflow.
FAQ
How can the pipette be used in sterile environments?
In sterile environments, it is recommended to regularly change the volume unit and replace the protective filter. Due to the smoothness and stability of the materials used, the external parts can be easily disinfected. This ensures sterility is maintained.
Which tips are suitable for the device
An adjustable tip holder enables the use of common standard tips up to 10 ml. For larger or unusual formats, straw tips or Pasteur pipettes can be used via appropriate adapters. This means that special applications can also be covered.
Can the device also be used precisely for very small volumes?
Yes. Thanks to the microprocessor-controlled motor and high-quality manufacturing, the device is even suitable for sensitive dosing tasks from 0.1 ml. The imprecision always remains minimal, especially from 10% of the nominal volume.
What happens when the battery is empty
The quickly replaceable handle battery allows you to work without interruption. You can either have a charged replacement handle ready or charge the device in the charging station for a short time to continue working quickly.
What maintenance tasks are regularly required
Regular visual inspection, cleaning of the outer surfaces and occasional replacement of the protective filter are standard. With intensive continuous use, a functional check of the motor unit is also recommended to ensure accuracy.
Conclusion
The Acura® electro 936 offers a convincing combination of precision, ergonomics and versatility. Anyone who depends on reproducible and reliable dispensing results will find this electronic macropipette a powerful partner for a wide range of laboratory applications. Its flexible modular system with interchangeable volumetric units and adapters allows smooth adaptation to changing requirements, while the ergonomic design and modular battery operation ensure long periods of uninterrupted use.
