The Electronic Pipette (dPette) by DLAB is a motor-driven, digitally controlled single-channel electronic pipette designed to combine the lightweight, ergonomic feel of a manual pipette with the precision and effortlessness of an electronic system. Powered by a high-precision stepper motor, it delivers exceptional accuracy (with a systematic error of ≤ ±1.0% and precision (CV) of ≤ 0.8%, as validated in performance tests) and repeatability, eliminating common manual errors.
For the clinical laboratory scientist and molecular biologist, the dPette is an essential tool for high-throughput workflows, from PCR and qPCR setup to ELISA sample addition and serial dilutions. Its intuitive interface, with a large LCD screen and dual rotary knobs, makes setting parameters and switching between modes (pipetting, mixing, stepper, and dilution on the dPette+ model) exceptionally easy. The lightweight construction (approx. 110 g) and ergonomic design significantly reduce hand fatigue, helping to mitigate the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) during extended use.
For the laboratory manager and patient, the dPette's advanced features ensure efficiency and reliability. The rechargeable Li-ion battery and user calibration via a USB-enabled computer dramatically reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs. The ability to autoclave the lower head components ensures a sterile working environment, and the device's precision, with a documented relative standard deviation (RSD) of ≤ 0.5% for parallel sample pipetting, directly translates into more reproducible and trustworthy test results, accelerating clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes.
