(Mettler-Toledo: Greifensee, Switzerland) -- With the introduction of its new E4 XLS line of pipettes, Rainin Instrument LLC, a division of Mettler-Toledo, has raised the bar on electronic pipetting performance and ease of use. Featuring a large color screen, precision joystick, and carousel-like menu, the E4 XLS makes moving between options and settings extremely fast and highly intuitive.

Before the E4 XLS, complexity has been the bane of electronic pipettes and the primary reason many researchers avoid them. Electronic pipettes with advanced features aren’t new, but with small data screens and complex navigation schemes, their appeal among researchers has been limited. In fact, most major electronic pipette manufacturers have sacrificed features and capabilities in their latest models as a tactic to reduce complexity.

Rainin has taken an entirely different approach, instead drawing on advances in cell phone and gaming technology to simplify navigation and make operation fast and easy. The E4 XLS employs a fully functioning joystick, robust processor and large 16-bit color screen that transform pipette operation, making it highly graphical and far less linear.
