The RAPIDO is a ROBUST positive displacement REUSABLE volumetric delivery system utilizing disposable serological pipettes designed to reduce operational costs and prevent sample contamination. Used for non-sterile work.
RAPIDO incorporates a disposable pipette section with a detachable and easily cleanable seal element.
LEVEL OF DISPOSABILITY: Non-sterile DISPOSABLE PLASTIC pipette combines with a non-disposable seal which is exposed and easy to wash by tap after use
SEAL TYPE: Fluoroelastomer, food safe
OPERATION: Manually operated Piston with level marker – seal isolates piston from fluid
PIPETTE SECTION: High density polystyrene - Constructed using a genuine Falcon® pipette body made by Corning and modified by CHEM-NOVUS
ACCEPTIBLE FLUIDS: Not for polar solvents – resistant to most laboratory fluids
What It Replaces
-
Serological pipettes, battery powered pipette controllers, rubber bulb and pipette pumps
Intended Use
Where lab operations have:
-
High overhead costs demanding fast lean workflows
-
Where viscous or difficult to clean fluids are handled
-
Where dangerous fluids are handled
-
For non-sterile fluid handling
