Introduction
The Jencons Powerpette
®
Pro has been carefully designed and manufactured as a lightweight, cordless
pipetting aid for use with all plastic or glass pipettes from 1–100ml.
This new Powerpette is constructed in recyclable materials and operates on two rechargeable, long life,
environmentally friendly, 1.2V nickel metal hydride batteries. Powerpettes have uniquely formed finger
triggers to minimize any high pressure points. These triggers also control intake and dispense speeds.
A battery warning light (4) is triggered whenever the charge in the batteries is low and they should then
be recharged. Pipetting with Powerpettes can also take place while the units are connected to their
chargers (5).
Powerpettes have a conveniently located slide switch (3) which allows the user to select between three
modes of operation:
Slide switch position 'High' (top)
Slide switch position 'Low' (middle)
Slide switch position 'G' (bottom)
