Description
VistaLab 1057-0200 Ovation QS Pipette – 20–200 µL, Adjustable Volume
The VistaLab 1057-0200 Ovation QS (Quick Set) is a precision manual pipette engineered to redefine ergonomic comfort and accuracy in the laboratory. Featuring a revolutionary contoured shape, the Ovation allows for a neutral wrist position and low arm elevation, significantly reducing the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The 1057-0200 model provides an adjustable volume range of 20 µL to 200 µL, with a high-resolution micrometer for rapid and precise volume setting. Its unique “stand-alone” design prevents the pipette tip from touching the benchtop when the unit is set down, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Built for durability and accuracy, the Ovation QS is fully autoclavable and features a calibrated stroke for consistent liquid delivery across all laboratory applications.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Ergonomic Neutral Grip: The patented offset design allows the hand to remain in a natural position, requiring minimal muscle force for aspiration and dispensing, which dramatically improves comfort during long pipetting sessions.
-
Quick-Set Volume Adjustment: Features a smooth-turning analog micrometer that allows for rapid volume changes while preventing accidental drift during use.
-
Low-Force Tip Ejection: Equipped with a dedicated button that utilizes a high-leverage mechanism to eject tips with minimal thumb pressure, further reducing physical strain.
-
Self-Standing Base: The unique geometry allows the pipette to stand upright on the bench without a rack, keeping the tip elevated and sterile between pipetting steps.
