VistaLab QS Ovation Pipette 1000 ul Single Channel Adjustable Volume

VistaLab 1057-1000 Ovation QS Pipette – 100–1000 µL, Adjustable Volume, Blue

The VistaLab 1057-1000 Ovation QS (Quick Set) is a precision-engineered manual pipette that combines superior ergonomic design with high-volume accuracy. Featuring a patented contoured shape, the Ovation allows the user to maintain a neutral wrist position and low arm elevation, significantly reducing the mechanical stress on the median nerve and shoulder joints. The 1057-1000 model provides an adjustable volume range of 100 µL to 1000 µL, utilizing a high-resolution micrometer for rapid, "quick-set" volume adjustments. Its unique self-standing design prevents cross-contamination by keeping the pipette tip elevated off the benchtop surface. Fully autoclavable and built for high-reproducibility, the Ovation QS Blue is the premier choice for laboratories performing high-frequency large-volume liquid handling.

Technical Performance and Design

• Ergonomic Neutral Grip: The non-axial, contoured handle allows the hand to remain in a natural "handshake" position, requiring minimal muscle force for aspiration and dispensing compared to traditional vertical pipettes.

• High-Volume Precision: Engineered for exceptional accuracy at the 1 mL level, ensuring consistent performance for buffer preparation, cell culture media handling, and large-scale dilution series.

• Mechanical-Advantage Tip Ejector: Features a high-leverage ejection button that requires significantly less thumb pressure to discard large 1000 µL tips, a common source of joint strain in standard pipettes.

• Stand-Alone Geometry: The pipette is designed to stand upright on its own, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated racks and ensuring the nozzle and tip remain sterile between pipetting cycles.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Occupational Health & Safety: Specifically designed for lab personnel suffering from, or looking to prevent, Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) like Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis.

• Cell Culture Media Prep: The 1 mL capacity is ideal for adding antibiotics, sera, and growth factors to culture flasks with one-handed ease under a laminar flow hood.

• Molecular Biology: Provides the steady, low-impact control required for high-volume reagent master mixing and sample pooling where accuracy is paramount.

• Universal Tip Fit: While optimized for VistaLab Blue tips, the robust nozzle provides an airtight, secure fit with most standard high-quality 1000 µL universal pipette tips.
