The Acura Electro

Micropipettes

• Reduced shaft length and conical end improve driveability
• Easy access to microtubes and microplates
• Optional longer volumetric modules
• Simple conversion by user at any time
• Unsurpassed metrological performance and stability

Macropipettes

• Interchangeable nozzle protection filter
• Adapters for Pasteur pipette and straw tips
• Outstanding accuracy and precision

Multichannel

• Large selection of 8- and 12-channel models
• Light weight and perfect hand fitting
• Sequential tip ejection
• Also fit any single channel volumetric module

Nozzle protection filter

Macro models accommodate a filter protecting instrument against liquid overflow and contamination. Located in the nozzle, it can be removed and changed easily.

Pasteur pipette - straw tip adapters

Optional accessories fit 2 mL glass Pasteur pipettes or 5 mL straw tip instead of Polypropylene tips.

Optimal working position

360° rotation of multichannel volumetric modules allows selection of the best working position.

Time efficient maintenance

Pipette construction limits maintenance to a minimum - no tool required to remove volumetric module. The pipetting cycle counter facilitates maintenance monitoring.

Initial package

Recommended when purchasing an Acura electro for the first time, each initial package contains one electronic pipette, QC certificate and operating instructions, charging stand, power supply, additional battery pack, Qualitips pipette tips samples. Thereafter, additional pipettes can be purchased alone and charged on existing stand.

The Acura Manual 825

The Acura manual are precision pipettes combining high-tech materials with exceptional, user friendly ergonomics. There is a choice between 825 model, the classic one for all applications and 826 XS micropipette specially dedicated to research. Both lines bring much more than superior performance and make pipetting safe and agreeable. Three-year warranty.

Product advantages

• Smart and reliable volume adjustment
• Single-handed volume setting
• Precision digital display visible at all time
• JustipTM adjustable tip ejector fitting most tips
• Swift-set user calibration system
• Shock, UV-light and autoclaving resistance
• CE certified IVD 98/79 EEC

Most comfortable pipetting

The Acura Manual fits everybody’s hand with or without glove. Ergonomic shape, light weight and soft plunger travel care for better comfort.

Ejector button

Ergonomically positioned, the large surface, soft padded ejector provides for low-pressure activation.

Adjustable tip ejection

Ejector shaft height adjustment system called JustipTM allows a wide selection of tips to tightly fit the nozzle.

Minimum maintenance / sterilisation

Easy disassembling for thorough cleaning. Sterilisation achieved by autoclaving instrument fully assembled (121°C / 250°F)

The Acura Manual XS 826

Derived from the Acura manual 825, the 826 XS line was designed with the research scientists in mind. Shorter, smoother, lighter in weight, the eight models offer key features aiming at excellence in pipetting.

Added advantages, distinct from 825 line

• Excellent ergonomic shape and size ratio
• New springs and tightness seal for extra-smooth activation
• Reduced weight - lighter than leading brands (see weight chart below)
• Increased drivability with short, narrow shaft
• Conical shaft end for easy reach in smaller microtubes

Instant calibration

Swift-set user calibration system - with integrated key and locking mechanism - makes tedious procedures a thing of the past. Easy and precise, it is in full compliance with international standards and recommendations.

Safetyseal

Though easily removed when needed, the switch protection seal is autoclaving resistant.

Extra smooth activation

Unique tightness lip seal and new springs provide for ultra-soft pipetting, reducing hand fatigue while working. Above forces, measured on a 20 - 200 μL model, are indicative of very limited finger efforts. Yet, the overshoot stop offers a clear tactile indicator.

The Acura Manual 835

Instruments combining high-tech materials with user-friendly ergonomics. Optimal for in- and outdoor environmental analysis, clinical chemistry and cell culture applications, they offer superior performance and make pipetting safer than ever. Three-year warranty.

Product advantages

• Smart and reliable volume adjustment
• Single-handed volume setting
• Interchangeable nozzle protection filter
• JustipTM adjustable tip ejector* fitting most tips
• Swift-set user calibration system
• Shock, UV-light and autoclaving resistance
• Pasteur pipette fitting 2 and 5 mL models

Display always visible

Located on the front of the instrument, the display window allows set volume to be visible at all times during pipetting. A comforting reassurance for the user.

Smart and reliable

Volume adjustment State-of-the-art micrometric volume setting is performed smoothly and precisely by turning push button. Finely machined click-stops and free rotating cap prevent any unwanted volume alteration.

Patented tip ejection system

Ergonomically positioned, the large surface, soft padded ejector provides for low-pressure activation. In addition, the shaft height adjustment system called JustipTM allows optimal distance setting between ejector and tip.

Nozzle protection filter

Protection against liquid overflow and contamination.

Pasteur pipette adapter

Adapter nozzles allow fitting of Pasteur pipette on Acura manual 2 and 5 mL models in addition to Polypropylene tips. The adapters have two O-rings guaranteeing proper holding and tightness of standard 2 mL Pasteur pipettes (Ø 7 mm).

The Acura Manual 855

Built with the users in mind, these pipettes combine high-tech materials with exceptional, user-friendly ergonomics. They extend pipetting possibilities in 96-well microplates and guarantee outstanding performance and results. Three-year warranty.

Product advantages

• 8- and 12-channel models up to 350 μL
• Light weight and perfect hand fitting
• Precision digital display visible at all time
• JustipTM adjustable tip ejector fitting most tips
• Swift-set user calibration system
• 360° rotation of volumetric module

Most comfortable pipetting

Ergonomic shape, lightweight and ultra- soft plunger travel are key elements of the Acura manual pipettes.

Optimal working position

Revolving over 360°, the volumetric module (lower assembly) helps reaching the appropriate hand position.

Adjustable tip ejector

Position of tip ejector can be adjusted in no time within a 4 mm span to perfectly match with tips used. Bowed shape of ejector head guarantees effortless, easy sequential tip removal.

Multichannel reservoirs

Well adapted for multichannel pipettes, the reagent reservoirs offer various shapes and volumes.
