FAQ about Electronic Pipettes
I'm sure that an electronic pipette is much too complicated for me.
Xplorer pipettes were designed for intuitive and easy operation without the need to search through a myriad of submenus. All the modes are quickly accessible via the selection dial and the settings are clearly arranged on the display. Help texts and guidance through the settings are available in nine languages.

I don't have any control over the piston movements with an electronic pipette.
That's not true for Xplorer pipettes. The innovative rocker with the “up is up” (aspiration) and “down is down” (dispensing) principle allows you to move or stop the piston in both directions at any time.

Electronic pipettes are big, heavy and not ergonomic.
We see why you might think that. But at just 157 grams, your Xplorer single-channel pipette with 1,000 μL weighs about the same as a mechanical pipette with eight channels and less than many other electronic pipettes on the market. And while that is still a bit heavier than a single-channel mechanical pipette, weight is not the only factor in an ergonomic tool. Developed according to the principles of the Eppendorf PhysioCare Concept® , Xplorer pipettes feature an ideal balance in both right- and left-hand use, have a convenient handle, and require virtually no operating force thanks to their light-touch rocker and operating buttons. Your arm, wrist and thumb will thank you later!

I've heard the batteries in electronic pipettes are always empty when you need them.
The Li-ion polymer battery in an Xplorer pipette will last hundreds of pipetting steps. Thanks to a separate charging socket, the battery can even be charged while working with the pipette. When not in use, it's best to place the pipette on the Charger Carousel 2 or Charger Stand 2 so that its batteries are always full. And when it's time to replace the battery after three years of use, you need only a minute to do so.
To keep your Xplorer battery in good shape, just follow these simple steps:
1) Fully charge and discharge your new pipette a few times
2) Pull the battery plug when storing the pipette unused for more than four weeks
3) If a pipette is not in use, recharge it every two months

Electronic pipettes are too expensive for me.
Looking at the total cost of ownership, an electronic pipette can often be the most cost-conscious choice: You’ll work faster and more accurately than when you pipette with mechanical instruments. Your productivity will be higher and the increased accuracy allows you to work with lower volumes and therefore use less reagents and fewer consumables. With several modes, an Xplorer pipette can do the work of multiple lab instruments and may be all you need to save valuable bench time – and with it, long-term costs.

But isn't it inconvenient to maintain and clean electronic pipettes?
Regular maintenance, cleaning and calibration is very similar to mechanical pipettes – temporary adjustment is even easier! The three key differences are:
1) You should wipe your pipette with disinfectant instead of spraying it
2) You can only autoclave the lower part of Xplorer pipettes
3) You need to replace the battery after three years of use
