CellTreat's VistaLab™ - ALI-Q™ 2 Aliquoting Pipette Controllers - with Aliquote (Repeater) Pipetting function (5ml and 10ml units now available)
CellTreat's VistaLab™ - ALI-Q™ 2 Aliquoting Pipette Controllers
Most functional Controllers on the Market - 1.) Aliquote, 2.) Aspirate, and 3.) Dispense
More accurate and more precise. When using the aliquote function (repeat pipetting), you
can Aliquote without the need to “eyeball” the meniscus on the pipet. Push one button
to aliquot a selected volume. For 5ml capacity units, choose from 0.5mL to 5.0mL increments. For 10ml capacity unit, choose from 1mL to 10 mL increments CHOOSE: Fixed High speed
(1 speed), Fixed Low Speed (1 speed), or Variable Speed (7 speeds) ali-Q Aliquoting model.
The Ali-Q Pipette Controller series are the only pipette aids on the market with a separate function for performing aliquots (aka repeat pipetting). Never before has it been so easy to blow through routine aliquoting with this level of precision. The ali-Q pipette controller can be used as a standard pipette aid with the familiar two-button technique. Set the special dial for aliquoting any volume repeatedly from 0.5 to 5.0ml(for 5mL models) and 1.0 to 10mL (for 10mL model). Using the special aliquot button, a simple press is all it takes to distribute the correct amount time and again. Now faster with computerized onboard calibration. Also includes a handy and helpful kick-stand.
- Highly accurate and precise (programmable) aliquoting, without the need to “eyeball” the pipet's meniscus - everytime
- Push one button to aliquot • Aliquot any selected volume from 0.5 to 5.0mL (5mL models) and 1.0 to 10mL (10mL model) • 4 models: Low speed, High speed, Variable speed
- Compatible with all brands and sizes of serological pipets; optimal performance when using our Wobble-not serological pipets
- Intelligent measuring system = real-time corrections for varying environmental conditions- No adjustment necessary!
- Accuracy and precision maintained at any dispense angle for more comfortable body positions, especially beneficial in the hood
- Ergonomic shape design for optimal grip comfort • Self-standing, or use optional kick-stand • Use either glass or plastic pipets
TESTIMONIAL:
"I’ve used the ali-Q for about one year now and it saves me a lot of time in cell culture. I do a lot of cell culture in smaller dishes but in high numbers. Pipetting liquids in large numbers, especially when using volumes such as 2.3 ml, instead of 2.5 ml or 3 ml, as required, can be challenging. With the ali-Q I just pre-select the amount I need and can continue to pipette without calculating in between or having to pull up a fresh dose." -Dr. Denise Kemler Department of Physiology and Functional Genomics, University of Florida
What are the accuracy and precision performance specs?
When using ali-Q as a standard pipet controller, the accuracy and precision (CV%) is determined by the graduations on the serological pipet used, which are typically 1-2%, as well as the user’s ability to consistently eyeball the meniscus and control the liquid dispense. When using ali-Q as an aliquoting pipet controller, accuracy and precision (CV%) specifications are as follows: Using any brand serological pipet (any size) - 3% accuracy and 2% CV @ 5.0 mL ; 4% accuracy and 3% CV @ 0.5 mL
Battery life and warranty:
The ali-Q takes three hours to charge fully, and will operate for 40 hours on a single charge! The lithium battery has a life-span of 10+ years. One-Year full warranty.

ALI-Q 2 ACCURACY AND PRECISION PERFORMANCE SPECS
When using ali-QTM2 as a conventional pipet controller, the accuracy and precision (CV) is determined by the graduations on the serological pipet used, which are typically ±1-2%, as well as the user’s ability to consistently eyeball the meniscus and control the liquid dispense.
When using ali-QTM2 as an aliquoting pipet controller, accuracy and precision (CV) specifications are as follows:
With Wobble-not™ serological pipet (any size)
ali-QTM2 and ali-QTM2 VS ( at speed 7 )| VOLUME | ACCURACY | PRECISION (CV) |
|---|
| 5.0 mL | ±2% | ±1% |
| 0.5 mL | ±2% | ±2% |
ali-QTM2 LS| VOLUME | ACCURACY | PRECISION (CV) |
|---|
| 3.0 mL | ±2% | ±1% |
| 0.3 mL | ±3% | ±3% |
With any other brand serological pipet (any size)
ali-QTM2 and ali-QTM2 VS ( at speed 7 )| VOLUME | ACCURACY | PRECISION (CV) |
|---|
| 5.0 mL | ±3% | ±2% |
| 0.5 mL | ±4% | ±3% |
ali-QTM2 LS| VOLUME | ACCURACY | PRECISION (CV) |
|---|
| 3.0 mL | ±4% | ±3% |
