  • Electronic pipettor with improved accuracy
    Patent number: 8122779
    Abstract: A hand-held electronic pipettor is designed particularly to be programmed and operated with one hand for the convenience of the user. It uses a capacitance touchpad control for programming, and a separate run button for the operating mode. Internal components are located so that the center of gravity of the pipettor is located within the palm of the user. Flash memory stores an empirically derived table that correlates aspiration volume to motor steps and a separate empirically derived table the correlates dispensing volumes to motor steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2012
    Assignee: Integra Biosciences Corp.
    Inventors: Gary E. Nelson, George P. Kalmakis, R. Laurence Keene, Joel Novak, Kenneth Steiner, Jonathon Finger, Gregory Mathus, Richard Cote
  • Pipettor software interface
    Patent number: 8033188
    Abstract: A hand-held electronic pipettor includes menu driven software for controlling the information displayed on the user interface display, for inputting information to program the pipettor and for controlling the operation of the pipettor.
