4.4.1 Air Displacement Pipetting Arm (Air LiHa)
The PyroTec™ PRO is equipped with an Air LiHa which is a robotic arm having multiple pi-
pette tip for general pipetting tasks. The Air LiHa working principle is based on air displace-
ment technology where a Plunger Drive, directly mounted on top of a pipetting channel,
varies the volume of an air chamber for aspiration and dispensing. The Air LiHa is designed
for use with disposable tips only.
