| AUTOMATIC 4-BARREL OR 7-BARREL PIPETTE PULLER |
| With just pressing one key, a 4 or 7-barrel pipette can be successfully pulled by the PMP-100 Programmable Multipipette puller. Equipped with a microcomputer, pneumatic pulling arm, pneumatic rotator and optical-digital ruler, the PMP-100 can automatically heat, twist and pull a multibarrel pipette. There is no need for any manual rotation or any inconsistent timing interrupt control. The whole pulling processing is programmable and under control of a preset sequence. The PMP-100 is a new generation of sophisticated multipipette puller. |
| EXCLUSIVE OPTICAL-DIGITAL RULER MEASUREMENT |
| There is an exclusive optical-digital ruler in the PMP-100 to perform precise taper length setting, real-time measurement and tip sensing. With this feature, a user can easily handle taper and tip pulling. |
| COMPUTERIZED REAL-TIME FEEDBACK HEATER CONTROL |
| In the PMP-100, there is an advanced microcontroller to perform real-time heater monitoring and controlling. If a heating level is selected and preset, the microcontroller will measure the actual heating power during heating power on. The measurement will be real-time displayed and feedback to the control unit to match the set point dynamically. As a result, the PMP-100 always provides precise heating power, despite of many times of pipette pulling or thermal/electrical characteristic changing. Under a microcomputer controlling, the heater is smart and reliable. |
| PROGRAMMABLE AND SAVABLE SEQUENCES FOR CREATION AND REPRODUCTION |
| There are 25 user programmable and savable pulling sequences with 18 steps in each sequence. Users can easily program different taper length, tip shape for 4 or 7-barrel pipette. Time number, heat level, heat control and action parameters can be individually set in each step. After a special sequence setting up, a multibarrel micropipette will be automatically produced by just pressing the Start button. |
| MANUFACTURE PRESET PULLING PROGRAMS FOR 4 AND 7-BARREL MICROPIPETTES |
| Every PMP-100 will be well tested and installed sample
pulling programs for 4 and 7-barrel . A new user will easily select the
right program or just change a few step parameters to fit their special
need. The preset programs are convenient and important, not only because
they can pull the 4 and 7-barrel pipettes which are supplied by the manufacture,
but also as templets to make other programs with only minor parameter change
for other applications. |
| PNEUMATIC PULLING FORCE AND VERY COMPACT SIZE |
| Comparing with other pipette puller using gravity or magnetic field as pulling force, the PMP-100 applies precise controlled pneumatic pressure as the pulling force, which gives more controllable, even and consistent dragging characteristics. Within a very compact size, the PMP-100 can precisely and automatically perform twisting and multiparameter multi-pulling without inconsistent manual interrupt. A precision micro-linear ball bearing rail and advanced pneumatic components are used to provide no fault pulling movement. A simple 4x4 keypad and full information display LCD let users control easily and read all pulling parameters directly, which include sequences, steps, time, timing, heater level, heater control, tip length and actions. With an intelligent PMP-100, pulling a multipipette is no longer an uncertainty of hand skill, but a reproducible automatic processing. |
