Yes. Thermo Scientific™ E1-ClipTip™ Electronic Adjustable Tip Spacing Multichannel Equalizer Pipette has up to 87% lower tip attachment and up to 93% lower tip ejection forces compared to the other adjustable tip spacing pipettes.

Several companies claim their pipettes have the lowest tip attachment and ejection forces, but fail to prove it with data. We have tested the adjustable tip spacing pipettes available on the market today to show that due to the unique ClipTip technology and the electronic tip ejection the E1-ClipTip Equalizer Pipette requires the lowest forces to operate.

The force needed to attach and eject tips plays a crucial part in Good Laboratory Pipetting (GLP) for accuracy and precision, as well as in avoiding the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) to the user, which should be taken into consideration when selecting a pipette. Adjustable tip spacing pipettes are often used to save time when pipetting samples between different labware formats. By reducing the amount of time and number of repetitive motions, pipetting is more efficient and less likely to have accidental errors. With the E1-ClipTip Equalizer Pipette there is the added benefit of interlocking ClipTip technology, which ensures secure tip attachment with a light touch. Combined with

electronic tip ejection, index-finger operation and an adjustable finger rest, the E1-ClipTip Equalizer Pipette offers a more comfortable experience and improves ergonomics in pipetting.

The E1-ClipTip Equalizer Pipette requires 87% lower tip attachment forces and up to 93% lower tip ejection forces compared to other pipettes tested due to the unique ClipTip technology and the electronic tip ejection. This, combined with a personalised and versatile user interface, makes E1-ClipTip Equalizer Pipettes an ideal option for higher throughput and more complex

applications by offering increased efficiency and improved pipetting ergonomics. The Thermo Scientific ClipTip Pipetting System is available in both manual and electronic pipettes.
