Proline Plus is a mechanical liquid handling device with a robust design
suitable for all types of applications. The new pipettor allows for accurate
and precise results with low pipetting force. The slim tip ejector collar fits
also narrow tubes.

The new Proline Plus is fully autoclavable and resistant to UV light and a
wide range of chemicals. It is also easy to maintain and calibrate, as no
opening tools are needed and only 3-4 parts need to be cleaned. Additionally,
the pipettors are equipped with replaceable tip cone filters that give
additional protection against contamination thus improving the quality and
safety of pipetting.

Proline Plus is available in both adjustable single and multichannel
models and fixed volume single-channel models, in volume ranges from 0.1 micro
litres to 10 ml. Like all other mechanical pipettors from Biohit, also Proline
Plus is CE/IVD marked and comes with a 3-year warranty.

The new Proline Plus will be showcased at Medica, Dusseldorf, Germany,
14th to 17th November, hall 2, booth 2A49.
