Introduction
The Jencons POWERPETTE, POWERPETTE Plus and POWERPETTE have
been carefully designed and manufactured as lightweight, cordless pipetting aids for use with all
plastic or glass pipettes from 1– 100ml.
These new POWERPE T TES are constructed in recyclable materials and operate on two
rechargeable, long life, environmentally friendly, 1.2V nickel metal hydride batteries.
POWERPE T TES have uniquely formed finger triggers to minimize any high pressure points.
These triggers also control intake and dispense speeds.
A battery warning light (4) is triggered whenever the charge in the batteries is low and they
should then be recharged. Pipetting with POWERPE T TES can also take place while the units
are connected to their chargers (5).
POWERPE T TES have a conveniently located slide switch (3) which allows the user to select
between three modes of operation:
Slide switch position ‘High’ (top) Suction and dispense at full speed (Blow-out)
Slide switch position ‘Low’ (middle) Suction and dispense at reduced speed (Blow-out)
Slide switch position ‘G’ (bottom) Suction at reduced speed, dispense by gravity (To Deliver)
