Hybrid pipette SWITCH

single-channel

The SWITCH is a hybrid single-channel pipette from INTEGRA that combines the familiar control of a manual pipette with the speed and convenience of repeat-dispense functionality for fast aliquoting.

Key benefits

• No change to manual pipetting habits: retains the precise control and familiar feel of a mechanical pipette while adding electronic functions.
• Fast aliquoting: repeat dispense mode allows dispensing multiple aliquots from a single aspiration without complex setup.
• Reduced RSI risk: optimized plunger height, very low plunger force and effortless tip ejection reduce hand strain.

Design and user features

• Ergonomic plunger always positioned at optimal height for comfortable gripping and consistent control.
• Quick set ring enables one-handed volume adjustment and easy setting of repeat-dispense parameters (dispense volume, number of aliquots, speed).
• Mode switch for seamless transition between manual pipetting and repeat-dispense (electronic) mode.
• Easy-to-read display with large digits that shows aspirated volume in real time (enables measuring unknown volumes directly).
• Curved tip ejector button and GRIPTIPS® compatibility provide exceptionally low ejection forces; GRIPTIPS snap on securely and prevent tip loosening or loss.
• Multiple storage and charging options: long-lasting rechargeable battery (USB-C charging on the handle and contact charging via Flex stand) to support a full day of pipetting.

Consumable & ergonomic details

• GRIPTIPS design: multi-lobe rim, O-ring seal and shoulder provide secure snap-fit attachment, consistent tip height and positive stop to prevent over-tightening.
• Designed to minimize tip attachment/ejection forces and to work with low-plastic consumable options for sustainability.
