"Pipet-Lite XLS is a stylish, authoritative and sturdy pipette with a smooth action."
Having a reliable and easy to use set of pipettes is essential for every researcher and, although they are the unsung heroes, they are undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of equipment used in everyday research. Inaccurate and cumbersome to use pipettes can make life difficult at more than one level and therefore, choosing the right pipettes is crucial. Having tried almost every pipette on the market, my lab seems to be divided between the Eppendorf, Finnpipette and Gilson brands. Ignoring special offers, all three can be purchased for essentially the same price and so it’s all down to personal preference. Having started in the lab in the early eighties, I was a traditional Gilson user but I was keen to test the accuracy, reliability, and robustness of the new Pipet-Lite XLS series to determine if they were as good as they looked.
The range of liquid handling from 0.2 μL (L-2XLS) up to 20 mL (L-20MLXLS) is impressive to say the least and covers every possible experimental need. I was particularly pleased to see the pipette range include volumes not catered for by the other brands e.g. L-300XLS and L-2000XLS. The accuracy was excellent and I experienced no shift in the pipette volume because of the locking system even after a large number of samples. The Pipet-Lite XLS is certainly not cheap and flimsy but a stylish, authoritative and sturdy piece of equipment with a smooth action and easy to read display that is remarkably easy to use and clean. The only downside I noted was the fact that the metal plunger and spring were uncoated making the pipette unsuitable for use with corrosive fluids, so maybe there should be a warning to unsuspecting users or an alternative model could be sold for such applications. These pipettes come with radio frequency identification as standard and, although a nice idea, I didn’t see it as a particularly useful feature but it might have its uses in another lab. After having used the Pipet-Lite XLS for an hour, I switched back to my Gilson pipette and was amazed at the difference in resistance and how much pressure I had to exert to dispense and the stiffness of the Gilson tip ejection.
I fully recommend the Pipet-Lite XLS as a nice to handle, low resistance pipette for everyday use and I am sure that once you have tried them you will assign your old ones to the drawer - just as I have.

EDP1 offers index finger trigger action for pipetting activation
Accuracy:
The micro-computer in Rainin electronic pipettes improves accuracy and precision as piston movements are automatically controlled and become operator independent.
Stepper Motor Technology - offers greater precision and accuracy over pipettes that use DC motors with optical systems.
EDP1 pipettes self-calibrate by resetting to the zero position at the end of each dispensing sequence.
Battery:
EDP1 is powered by a wall power supply or Ni-Cad rechargeable battery pack providing 1000 pipetting cycles.
Rapid charge stands are available for all models.
Convienience:
Minimum force required to load tips
Fastest tip loading for multichannel pipettes
Intuitive easy to use software. EDP-1 has full numeric keyboard to set volumes instantaneously
Pipette Modes:
Pipet: triggers aspirate or dispense
Multidispense: automatically calculates (or manually select) number of aliquots to dispense for the total volume aspirated
Dilute: diluent and sample are aspirated individually, separated by a fixed air gap, and dispensed together
Titrate: partially dispenses under trigger control to desired endpoint. Total volume dispensed shown on display
Mix: mixes by repeated movement of liquid in and out of the tip
Volume Sequencing: picks up and dispenses up to 12 stored volumes
Replacement Parts and Accessories:
To order interchangeable liquid ends for EDP-1 pipettes add 'LE' to end of part no. for corresponding pipette size eg. SE1-10LE = 10µl traditional format liquid end
