Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces the World's First Electronic Pipette with a Six Language Interface Further enhancements to the Thermo Scientific Finnpipette Novus Range

MILFORD, MA., (February 26, 2007) – Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, today announced the Thermo Scientific Finnpipette® Novus range to be the first electronic pipette to offer its graphical interface in six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The large, clear text-guided graphical display is easy to read and the simple button layout allows users to select the desired language from the easily accessible two-level menu. Users can also choose from 10 different pipetting functions and 9 pipetting speeds, enabling fast and efficient usage for all pipetting applications. The availability of these six languages reduces the chances of user errors for non-native English speakers. Together with the backlight display and market-leading two year warranty for all Thermo Scientific electronic pipettes, the Finnpipette Novus range is now even more user-friendly, improving productivity, precision and peace-of-mind.

The Thermo Scientific Finnpipette Novus range consists of flexible and powerful electronic pipettes that combine simplicity, comfort and functionality in exceptionally intuitive, ergonomic and lightweight designs. Built on the results of recent independent ergonomics studies and customer feedback, each pipette has been designed to fit comfortably and securely to keep muscle strain and exertion to a minimum. Its advanced lightweight construction also helps to prevent upper body stress and strain, allowing the user to work longer without fatigue, reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) that are frequent with manual pipetting. With comfort, precision and ease-of-use, Thermo Scientific Finnpipette Novus pipettes are suitable for both routine use as well as quality conscious laboratories demanding the highest level of pipetting performance.
