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:

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) |
