“The qualities that really convinced me to switch to Biohit mLINE are its light weight, the lowest pipetting and tip ejection forces, easy to read display, locking mechanism to prevent accidental volume changes and finally, its compatibility to tips currently used at our company.”

Did you know that pipetting over 300 h/year (1.5 h/day) exposes to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)? To fight this problem, Biohit mLINE pipette comes with a patented spring mechanism resulting in the lowest pipetting force on the market. This, together with light tip ejection force and ergonomic design of the handle, reduces the risk of RSI. Enjoy your work. With mLINE you can.

Pipetting and tip ejection force comparison of mLINE and other mechanical pipettes. The mLINE provides significantly lighter pipetting and tip ejection forces than any other mechanical pipette, making the total force for one pipetting cycle (pipetting to tip ejection) the lightest on the market.

It is extremely difficult to get consistent results after several hours of pipetting with conventional mechanical pipettes due to heavy pipetting force. The light – and patented – spring mechanism of mLINE, however, allows high accuracy and consistent results even in long pipetting series, as hand doesn’t get tired..

Performance test of Biohit mLINE (blue line) and a conventional pipette (orange line). Pipettes were tested over a 5-hour period with sets of 5 repeat weighings of 500 microlitres 180 times by the same trained operator. As shown, it is very hard to meet the specifications (red line, ISO 8655-2) with a force demanding pipette after prolonged pipetting hours, whereas the light action of mLINE allows the same reproducibility over the whole period.

Benefits of the tension spring mechanism used in Biohit mLINE pipettes
• Light pipetting forces
• Starting force is always constant regardless of the volume
• Almost 4-fold difference in comparison to conventional technologies
