VistaLab QS Ovation Pipette 10 ul Single Channel Adjustable Volume

VistaLab 1057-0010 Ovation QS Pipette – 0.2–10 µL, Adjustable Volume, Orange

The VistaLab 1057-0010 Ovation QS (Quick Set) is a high-precision, single-channel manual pipette designed to provide maximum ergonomic comfort for ultra-micro volume liquid handling. With an adjustable range of 0.2 µL to 10 µL, this model is ideal for sensitive molecular biology applications that require absolute accuracy at the sub-microliter level. The patented contoured design maintains the hand in a neutral, low-stress position, effectively mitigating the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs). The "Orange" color-coded 1057-0010 features a high-resolution micrometer for rapid volume settings and a unique "stand-alone" geometry that prevents the pipette tip from contacting the benchtop. Fully autoclavable and engineered for long-term calibration stability, the Ovation QS is the premier choice for laboratories prioritizing both precision and user well-being.

Technical Performance and Design

• Ergonomic Contoured Grip: The non-axial design allows for a natural "handshake" grip, significantly reducing arm elevation and wrist extension during repetitive high-frequency pipetting.

• Ultra-Micro Precision: Optimized internal piston travel ensures superior accuracy and reproducibility when dispensing volumes as low as 0.2 µL, which is critical for qPCR and sequencing master mixes.

• Low-Force Tip Ejector: Features a mechanical-advantage ejection system that requires significantly less thumb force than traditional pipettes, protecting the user from joint strain.

• Contamination Control: The self-standing base keeps the pipette upright and the tip elevated away from the work surface, eliminating the need for a separate pipette stand and reducing cross-contamination risks.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Genomics & PCR Prep: The 0.2–10 µL range is specifically tailored for adding primers, dNTPs, and DNA templates where precise micro-volume delivery determines assay success.

• Ergonomic Safety Programs: A preferred tool for laboratories looking to implement "Healthy Lab" initiatives and reduce workers' compensation claims related to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

• Single-Cell Analysis: Provides the steady, low-force control required for picking and dispensing single cells or microscopic droplets without hand tremors.

• Universal Micro-Tip Fit: While optimized for VistaLab Orange tips, the nozzle is engineered to provide a secure, airtight seal with most standard high-quality 10 µL universal-fit pipette tips.
