The device incorporates intelligent power management and advanced programming capabilities to enhance reproducibility in laboratory workflows.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Fluid Ease Pro ClipTip electronic pipette, which includes what the company says is the first large, high-resolution pipette touchscreen on the market.
The pipette features intelligent power management and advanced programming capabilities designed to support reproducible pipetting across routine and demanding laboratory workflows. The device is combined with the Thermo Scientific ClipTip attachment, which secures tips through a consistent, reliable seal between pipette and tip.
The company says the system offers one of the widest speed selections available, giving users control over pipetting behavior across applications, liquid types, and workflow demands. The touchscreen approach transforms setup and protocol execution into a visual experience, reducing complexity and shortening training time for both new and experienced users.
“Labs are facing increasing research demands, emphasizing the importance of small, but necessary procedures like pipetting,” says Karolina Pranckevičiūtė, Thermo Fisher global product manager, in a release. “The new Fluid Ease Pro ClipTip is designed to help not only enhance the pipetting process but to help create reproducible results across research teams all at a faster speed.”
Ergonomic Design and User Profiles
The pipette’s ergonomic design helps reduce strain during extended use throughout the workday, supporting both routine and high-throughput applications. The device features electronic tip ejection, reducing the force required during tip removal for safer, more comfortable operation during repetitive tasks.
Fluid Ease Pro pipettes unify operations across users and global laboratory networks with an interface that supports five language options and up to five user profiles. The structured interface includes shared preset protocols and custom calibration options to align performance to specific liquids or laboratory conditions.
Teams can align on workflows and achieve consistent results between regions and sites, supporting scalable laboratory operations worldwide, according to the company.
Applications and Capabilities
Key applications include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies testing drug products in quality control laboratories or conducting micro incubation in research and development labs. Academic laboratories can use the device for stability testing, plant growth studies, and animal hatching experiments. Industrial and applied laboratories can apply it to cosmetics, packaging, and food and beverage shelf life testing.
The Fluid Ease Pro pipette can adapt to various tasks with gentle handling for sensitive or viscous samples. Users can tailor dispense speeds to fit a range of research applications. Flexible charging solutions and power-safe mode functions help protect battery performance while keeping pipettes ready for use in demanding laboratory environments.
The system supports up to five user profiles and shared preset protocols to help ensure consistent execution across the laboratory and reduce user-dependent variability.
