The Tacta pipettes are the premium line of mechanical pipettes from Sartorius. They have superb comfort and reliability, making pipetting effortless and safe, while producing accurate and reliable results even over lengthy pipetting periods. The Tacta pipettes allow for calibration adjustment to provide accurate results for various liquid types and have a 4-digit display for accurate and easy volume setting. They’re also easy to clean with only three parts to disassemble, and they’re fully autoclavable.
Sartorius focuses on ergonomics, user-friendliness, high accuracy and efficiency, when developing tools for pipetting. Their developers aim to design pipettes which cause as little strain on the user’s hand as possible yet ensuring highest accuracy and precision. The forces you need for operating and holding Sartorius pipettes are very low. The handles are designed to fit for various hand sizes and for different holding positions, to ensure the most comfortable grip for both right and left-handed users. Their sophisticated and compact design makes Sartorius pipettes to feel a natural extension of the arm and reduces the stress leading to injuries like RSI (repetitive strain injury).
Most of our equipment
is used and refurbished. Upon receipt of an order, we send pipettors to a service center for thorough cleaning, repair if necessary, and calibration. This adds about a week to the lead time, and is at no additional cost to you.
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
