Integra Biosciences has introduced the Pipetboy vacuum tweezers, a handheld suction device for manipulating small or delicate items that cannot be touched.
Designed as a low-cost accessory for the popular Pipetboy pipettor, the new vacuum tweezers let the user pick up, move and position small, delicate and hard-to-hold objects that weigh up to 50g.
Pipetboy vacuum tweezers benefit from an ergonomic, lightweight and easy-to-use design.
They allow safe and fatigue-free operation.
Supplied with a set of interchangeable suction nozzles, Pipetboy vacuum tweezers are the perfect tool for handling items such as microscope slides, cover slips, optics, small mechanical parts, electronic components and biological specimens.
Uses include assembly or handling of items where contamination by finger oils must be avoided or for parts that are so small that conventional mechanical tweezers may cause loss or damage of parts.
Integra Biosciences is promoting the introduction of this product by giving away for free the first 100 vacuum tweezers accessories.
Each Integra Biosciences Pipetboy pipettor can be used with plastic or glass pipettes with volumes of 1-100ml.
Precise and reliable pipetting is achieved by applying varying finger pressure to the operating buttons and by adjusting the pump speed.
The Pipetboy is powered by a high-performance NiMH battery that alerts the user when it needs recharging.
To avoid internal contamination, a hydrophobic filter blocks accidentally aspirated liquids before entering the pipettor.
The Pipetboy comes in several different colours that can be assigned to a particular application or user, thereby avoiding mix-ups.
