Hi,

First post so I don't want to be controversial. Our lab uses the gel system and I like it. What I don't like is the equipment. The pipettes are troublesome (erratic display, vibration) and the centrifuges are bad. One of ours won't close easily.

There must be a question here. Do you find that the equipment isn't as well made as it should be. That seems to be the consensus in our lab.

I don't use the biohit pipets (electronic). We use the MTS pipet, it is manual and works great. Only problem is sometimes the tips don't seat well. Not a big deal. If you close the centrifuge by pushing on opposite corners (top R/bottom L or vice versa) it closes easily.

Thank You for the reply.

I had asked to have MTS pipettes specifically for BB but no luck there. I will continue trying though.

Our lab bought a new BIOHIT.

We have been told that the pipettes are specific to their charger, Has anyone else been told this?

when i worked at my previous job, we also had the biohit pipet. we too were told that it was charger specific. we went through 4 biohit pipets in the first year.
