1 - INTRODUCTION
The SWIFTPET pipetting aid is a device intended for pipetting liquids with the use of meas-
uring pipettes. It can work with all types of glass or plastic pipettes in the volume range
from 1 ml to 100 ml.
The SWIFTPET is equipped with replaceable membrane filters, which protect the mechanism
of the device from contamination by the vapours of solutions being drawn into the pipette.
The two-step drawing speed control system enables both very fast dispensing of large
volumes and precise measuring of small volumes.
Fig. 1 shows the external parts of the pipetting aid with a description of the materials used.
