mLINE® Manual Pipettes
Advanced Design for Excellent Ergonomics and Perfect Performance
The mLINE® range offers a unique combination of novel features in an ergonomic design for effortless accuracy and precision.
mLINE has significantly lighter pipetting forces than other mechanical pipettes. It's recommended by Health & Safety officers as an effective way to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries.
Key Features
Lightest Pipetting Forces
The mLINE has significantly lighter pipetting and tip ejection forces than other mechanical pipettes. This is due to patented technology which means that the complete pipetting cycle from aspiration to dispensing and tip ejection can be achieved with superb control and minimal effort.
Effortless Accuracy
Due to the ergonomic nature of the mLINE, users find it easy to maintain optimum pipetting technique, even with multichannels over long sequences. This results in consistent accuracy and precision time after time - ideal for high throughput laboratories.
Multi-channel Models
The multi-channel range includes 8 and 12 channel models, all of which have a full 360°swivel head.

Applications
mLINE pipettes are ideal for:
High throughput work & long pipetting tasks
When consistency of results is paramount (low hand fatigue even after several hours)
High accuracy applications
Low volume PCR work
Handling biological fluids (fully autoclavable without disassembly)
RSI sufferers
Perfect Tip Sealing with Optiload Tip Loading Mechanism
All mLINE pipettes are equipped with spring-loaded tip cones – the Optiload mechanism secures even tip sealing and simultaneously allows tips to be loaded and ejected with minimum force. This is a particular advantage with multichannel models, where tip loading and ejecting generally requires more force. Using less force reduces the risk of hand injuries.
mLINE Safety
Minimised risk of contamination with Safe-Cone Filters for models >10μl and full autoclavability (steam sterilisation)
Volume-lock button prevents accidental volume changes while pipetting, for error-free results
Ergonomics & Performance
mLINE pipettes have a patented spring mechanism (plunger technology) resulting in exceptionally light pipetting forces. The tension spring mechanism makes the pipetting force almost 4 times lighter than conventional compression spring operated pipettes. Light pipetting force improves pipetting precision in long pipetting series. Thanks to the device’s unique spring mechanism, the starting force is always constant, regardless of the set volume, which improves pipetting results especially for small volumes.
If comfort is of prime importance or you are using your pipette for lengthy repetitive tasks, you will want to be sure of its handling features.
Likewise, if your accuracy and precision of your results are critical, the performance aspects will be key.
