Congratulations!
You have purchased the state-of-the-art in precision pipetting. The
IMPACT
®
is the first cordless electronic pipettor that "understands"
the myriad of liquid handling protocols typically performed in
today's laboratory.
Ergonomically designed and balanced to reduce fatigue, the
IMPACT functions so intuitively, that you may need no more than a
quick survey of this manual to use it.
The IMPACT allows you to accomplish your liquid pipetting tasks
quickly, accurately, and with less risk of developing repetitive
motion related injuries that are typical with manual pipettor use.
Laboratory results will become more standardized, while less time
is expended on tedious bench procedures.
Delivering power, precision, and performance.
is the latest word in liquid handling technology.
