Thermo Enhances the Finnpipette Novus Range
World's first electronic pipette with backlit display
MILFORD, MA (September 29, 2006) - Thermo Electron Corporation, the world leader in analytical instruments, today announced an enhancement to the Finnpipette® Novus range, with the introduction of a backlit display.
The Finnpipette Novus is the first electronic pipette in the world to have this new feature, which uses similar backlight technology to that of mobile phones. By eliminating surrounding light reflections and improving contrast in low light conditions such as safety cabinets and fume hoods, the integral backlit display ensures that the high-resolution menu characters are shown with more clarity than ever before.
The addition of the backlight feature - together with Thermo's market-leading two year warranty for all its electronic pipettes - means that the Finnpipette Novus range is now even more user friendly, improving productivity, precision, ergonomic operation and peace-of-mind.
The Finnpipette Novus range consists of flexible and powerful electronic pipettes that combine simplicity, comfort and functionality in exceptionally intuitive, ergonomic and lightweight designs. Built on the results of recent independent ergonomics studies and customer feedback, each pipette has been designed to fit comfortably and securely to keep muscle strain and exertion to a minimum. Its advanced lightweight construction also helps to prevent upper body stress and strain, allowing the user to work longer without fatigue, reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) that are frequent with manual pipetting.
The Finnpipette Novus has 10 different pipetting functions and 9 pipetting speeds to choose from. The instantly familiar text-guided graphical display and simple button layout allows users to choose any of these pipetting functions quickly and easily. With the unique two year warranty and the backlight feature, Finnpipette Novus pipettes are an outstanding investment, suitable for both routine use as well as quality conscious laboratories demanding the highest level of pipetting performance.
