The EP-Series 12-Channel Electronic Pipette (5 – 50 µL) combines the throughput advantage of 12-channel parallel dispensing with the precision of fully motorized electronic control — eliminating both the per-well variance that breaks single-channel reproducibility AND the operator-fatigue variance that compounds across long manual pipetting sessions. 12 channels dispensing simultaneously means 8 strokes per 96-well plate instead of 96. High-performance motor assures high precision and consistency. Wide choice of pipetting modes — pipette, dispense, mix, multi-aspirate, repeat-dispense, and reverse pipetting. Adjustable aspirate and dispense speeds. Large-capacity two-battery configuration with easy-to-remove external lithium-ion battery for extended operation. Optimized display screen reduces repeat operations. ISO 8655 calibrated with individual factory test certificate shipped with each unit.
Why Electronic Multichannel Pipetting Is the Production-Bench Standard for Microplate Workflows
Manual multichannel pipettes solve part of the microplate-throughput problem — 12 channels in parallel beats single-channel 1-well-at-a-time dispensing. But manual multichannels have a hidden tax: operator plunger-speed variance multiplied across 12 channels. When the operator's thumb fatigues across hours of plate setup, the variance shows up as per-channel volume drift, well-to-well CV scatter, and ELISA standard-curve outliers. The motor that drives a manual multichannel pipette is the operator's tired thumb, and tired thumbs aren't ISO 8655-compliant.
The EP-Series 12-Channel flips the math entirely. The motor takes plunger-speed variance to zero across all 12 channels simultaneously. The repeat-dispense mode turns 8 sequential aspirations into a single aspirate-then-dispense-12-times routine — even faster than manual 12-channel + far more consistent. The multi-aspirate mode lets the operator pre-load multiple volumes for sequential dispensing across a complex protocol. The reverse pipetting mode handles viscous and foaming reagents (glycerol, surfactants, BSA solutions) more accurately than any manual multichannel can. The adjustable aspirate and dispense speeds match the motor pace to the liquid type — slow for foaming surfactants, fast for water-thin buffers — without operator fatigue. The optimized display screen eliminates the menu-fumbling that turns simple dilutions into multi-step button-presses on cheaper electronic pipettes. Add the large-capacity dual-battery configuration with easy-to-remove external lithium-ion pack for extended runtime, the self-calibration capability for routine maintenance, and the ISO 8655 individual factory test certificate shipped with each unit, and the EP-Series multichannel becomes the production-bench standard for high-throughput microplate workflows.
12-Channel × 5 – 50 µL
12 parallel motorized channels in the 5 – 50 µL range. 8 strokes per 96-well plate instead of 96 — the throughput multiplier that defines microplate workflow speed.
Multi-Mode Motorized
High-performance motor with adjustable aspirate and dispense speeds. Wide choice of pipetting modes — pipette, dispense, mix, multi-aspirate, repeat-dispense, reverse pipetting. The motor takes operator-variance to zero across all 12 channels.
Dual-Battery Lithium-Ion
Large-capacity two-battery configuration enables longer operation time. Easy-to-remove external lithium-ion battery — swap a fresh battery in seconds when one drains during long sessions, no charging-cradle delays.
ISO 8655 + Self-Calibration
Individually calibrated to ISO 8655 standards with individual factory test certificate shipped with each unit. Self-calibration capability for routine maintenance. Optimized display screen reduces repeat operations.
"12 channels of motorized 5 – 50 µL precision. 8 strokes per 96-well plate instead of 96. The motor takes operator-variance to zero across all 12 channels simultaneously — production-bench throughput with ISO 8655 reproducibility."

Ideal Applications
ELISA Antibody Dispensing
ELISA antibody dispensing at 25-50 µL/well across 96-well plates in full-row strokes — 12-channel format means 8 strokes per plate vs 12 for 8-channel format — measurable throughput advantage on high-volume immunoassay benches.
96-Well Cell Culture Workflows
Transfection reagent dispensing into 96-well plates, drug treatment additions, cell-culture media additions — the standard ELISA / cell-culture mid-volume range in 12-channel format for maximum plate-throughput.
Protein Assay + Drug Screening
BCA / Bradford protein assay dispensing in 12-channel format, multi-replicate protein quantification, drug screening dose-response setups — workflows where the 5-50 µL × 12-channel combination is the throughput sweet spot.
