A. INTRODUCTION
The IMPACT is lightweight and cordless. It provides the
convenience of a manual pipettor, with the programming
capabilities of an electronic pipettor. It runs on rechargeable
batteries and can be used while recharging. The pipettor also has
an automatic shutoff feature to extend battery life.
The IMPACT uses a "paced dispense" feature that performs repeat
pipetting steps while the trigger is depressed.
The IMPACT uses integrated circuit technology to store its
programming information. It will hold up to 40 steps in a program.
The program information is retained in memory, even if the
batteries are fully discharged or removed.
The IMPACT

is the second generation of the IMPACT pipettor
family. It is capable of performing all of the same pipetting
protocols available with the IMPACT, plus a few NEW features. The
expanded capabilities include:
§ Expanded memory for storing up to five pipetting programs.
Each program can hold a maximum of 40 steps.
§ “Scratch Pad” programming mode which allows for fast and
simple program changes that are not stored into memory.
§ Enhanced speed control which offers slower aspirating and
dispensing of viscous liquids. Excellent for Gel loading!
§ “EASY” CAL which simplifies in-lab calibration verification by
using distilled water.
