1. INTRODUCTION
DISCOVERY PRO pipettes are designed for general
laboratory use. Pipettes can be used for measurement
and transfer of aqueous solution, acids, bases and
enzyme assay applications.
These variable volume pipettes cover the range from
0.1 μl to 1000 μl in 6 models.
DISCOVERY PRO pipettes operate utilizing the air cush-
ion principle, i.e. the aspirated liquid has no contact with
the shaft or plunger of the pipette. Liquid is aspirated into
disposable tips put on the pipette.

Pipettes are equipped with a four-digit counter displaying
the set volume, and the aspirated volume is set by
means of the adjustment knob (fig. 1B). The pipette
design allows the user to lock the volume setting.
