INTEGRA Biosciences is excited to announce the launch of its new SWITCH hybrid pipette, available from September 2025. The SWITCH is designed to eliminate the long-standing compromise between pipetting control and speed, allowing scientists to transition seamlessly between manual liquid handling and electronic repeat dispensing with a single ergonomic device.<\/p>\n
Manual pipettes offer the control needed for delicate tasks – such as mixing or supernatant removal – but typically fall short in repetitive workflows like aliquoting. Electronic pipettes solve this problem with programmable repeat dispensing functions, but often involve complex set-up, shared usage and a less intuitive user experience.<\/p>\n
The SWITCH solves these challenges by combining the familiar feel of a manual pipette with the aliquoting speed and efficiency of an electronic device, all without changing how users work.<\/p>\n
The SWITCH hybrid pipette can be operated manually for a familiar handheld pipetting experience, or switched to repeat dispense mode for efficient electronic aliquoting.<\/p>\n
The innovative hybrid pipette features a thumb-operated plunger that stays at the same height across all volume settings – eliminating excessive thumb stretching – and lowers further in repeat dispense mode for effortless, button-like operation. This ergonomic design reduces strain while enhancing comfort, control and precision. A quick set ring allows one-handed volume adjustments, and an easy-to-read display shows the volume aspirated in real time. It uses GRIPTIPS\u00ae pipette tips for secure, strain-free tip loading and ejection, and includes USB-C charging – even while in use – to ensure all-day operation. The SWITCH is also compatible with the Flex charging stand, which can securely hold and charge up to 6 SWITCH pipettes simultaneously – keeping them upright and organized – and is available in rotary and linear formats to suit any workspace.<\/p>\n
The SWITCH is a tool for the future that simplifies complex workflows, reduces hand strain and fits seamlessly into existing lab practices<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INTEGRA Biosciences is excited to announce the launch of its new SWITCH hybrid pipette, available from September 2025.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31251,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[30079,111,139,69,30080,147],"class_list":{"0":"post-31250","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-liquid-handling","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-pipetting","13":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
