Description

The Air-Z Mini is TriContinent's most economical and compact air displacement pipette.

This model is an ideal pipettor for low-duty cycle applications and was designed for easy installation and replacement. Use of the Air-Z Mini results in prevention of cross contamination and carry over during sample transfer and reagent aliquoting.

By implementing the Air-Z Mini in your instrument you eliminate tubing and priming that is normally required for liquid handling.
