Liquid handling instruments

Your partner in precision volumetry

Socorex Isba SA is a Swiss manufacturer of highly reliable laboratory instruments used for measuring, dosing, transferring, dispensing, and injecting liquids in a large number of applications. Manual and electronic micropipettes, single and multichannel pipettors, repeater pipettes, dispensers, pipette controllers, and re-usable syringes, together with pipette tips, consumables, and accessories, constitute the heart of the programme. The company is committed to manufacturing the most reliable products and to offering the best services. “A to Z” Quality Management includes quality checks and individual instrument performance control in the metrology laboratory, attested by an individual ISO 8655 certificate. Warranty coverage is three years on all manual pipettors and two years on electronic pipettes, dispensers, and repeaters.

The efficient service centre offers a global maintenance programme in its Ecublens-accredited laboratories. The selection ranges from basic checks to ISO 17025 accredited calibrations of all micropipettes and dispensers – whatever their brand.

Selected amongs the best laboratory equipment suppliers, an international network of distributors carries a stock of products and provides technical support, repairs, and calibration services.

Key products for biotech labs

Acura® manual micropipettes – exceptional ergonomics The adequate shape of the finger rest maintains the micropipette in position without hand stress. The adjustment button allows easy volume setting, even when using a glove. Located at the front of the instrument, the display window is visible at all times during pipetting.

The soft springs and tightness ring with PTFE sleeve reduce friction and make plunger activation smoother than ever. Ergonomically positioned, the large-surface,

soft-padded ejector button allows low-pressure activation. In addition, JustipTM shaft height adjustment system allows a wide selection of tips to tightly fit the nozzle.

Qualitix® – pipette tip programme Made from virgin polypropylene and free from DNAse, RNAse, pyrogens/endotoxins, and ATP, the tips provide for a very high purity degree. In addition, sterile tips are certified free of human DNA. Intended for accurate liquid delivery, the Qualitix® ideally combines with the Socorex® and all major micropipette brands. The tipfill rack filling system enables easy rack loading. Each insert is instantly transferred into an empty rack without risk of contamination. Its simplicity of use makes tipfill a convincing choice. Handling of viscous liquids is facilitated when using low-protein binding tips. Certified protease free, they are well adapted in the proteomic field. Sterile tip users now have the choice between models with and without a protection filter.

Bottle-top dispensers – excellent chemical resistance Intended for safe and reproducible liquid distribution, the CalibrexTM dispenser line includes 7 different sizes: 0.1–1 / 0.25–2.5 / 0.5–5 / 1–10 / 2.5–25 / 5–50 / 10–100 mL.

› CalibrexTM organo 525 suited for organics and noncrystallising solutions. › CalibrexTM solutae 530 for trouble-free distribution of salt solutions, weak and strong acids, and bases.

Volume setting with a spring-loaded sliding cursor, softly moving up and down along the dual scale. Thanks to the optional flow control stopcock for priming dispenser, reagent is recycled without loss or contamination. Valves, plunger, barrel, and delivery jet are removable in seconds for cleaning. The printed QR code allows instant access to the chemical resistance chart. Fully autoclavable at 121°C. Access to calibration mechanism is protected by a safety seal sticker. The integrated key is located under the plunger cap.
