Volume Adjustment

Large, Clear Display

Calibration Adjustment

Use the Sartorius Optilock feature toprevent accidental volume changes
during pipetting. Either hold down thevolume lock button with one hand andadjust the volume with the other, thenrelease to lock, or with just one hand,slide the volume lock up, adjust thevolume and slide down to lock again.
The choice is in your hands.

The large, easy-to-read display helps
you to see all four digits of the set
volume from a distance withoutstraining your eyes. The volume is easy
to read even when the pipette is angled– eliminating the need to turn yourhead into an uncomfortable position.

Tacta® is very easy to adjust, forvarious types of liquids, using
a simple adjustment key. Theadjustment scale shows the degreeof adjustment. By noting this value
for a specific liquid, you can return tothat setting any time. Easy calibration
adjustment ensures accurate resultswith a variety of liquids.

Low Pipetting, Tip Loadingand Ejection Forces
The forces needed for a pipetting
cycle, from tip attachment topipetting and finally tip ejection,
are exceptionally low with Tacta®,
protecting you from strain injury.
The Optiload feature, with springloaded tip cones in both the single
and multichannel models, secures
tip loading with perfect sealing

Optiloadand minimal force. Consequently,
Optiload also ensures light tip
ejection to protect your hand.
The light tip ejection is further
enhanced by Sartorius Optiject,
the soft, levered tip ejection featurethat lets the tip detach in a smooth,controlled way with little force.

Safe from Contamination
Easy Cleaning
Tacta® is the quickest and easiest
pipette, on the market, to clean, with
only three parts to be disassembled
for cleaning and no tools are neededfor disassembly. Tacta® can also be
steam-sterilized or autoclaved as-is,
without disassembly. It has also high
UV and chemical resistance.

The clever design of the Tacta® requires only
three parts to be disassembled for cleaning,making the Tacta®’s disassembly time
significantly shorter than its competitors’.
This makes pipette cleaning an easy andconvenient task for anyone and simplifies
routine maintenance. Regular cleaning will
ensure reliable results and prolong the life of thepipette.
The test was carried out using 1000 μl pipettes.

Safe-Cone Filters
The exchangeable Safe-Cone Filters,
used in pipette tip cones, act asbarriers to prevent sample aerosols
and fluids from contaminating theinternal components of the pipette.
The unique Safe-Cone Filter
ejector enables the removal of usedfilters without human contact withcontaminated filters.

Safe-Cone Filters are available for
all Tacta® models greater than 10 µl
and offer a cost-effective method toreduce contamination. Filters should
be changed regularly, and always
after over-aspiration.

Achieve Reliable Results
Proven Precision
The following graph illustrates how
the precision of pipetting results
is impacted over time when using
various pipettes. Tacta®, which isdesigned down to the last detailto create a comfortable pipetting
experience, produced consistently
precise results during a three-hour
test period.

Precision of results tested over a three-hour period using four pipettes from various
manufacturers. The test was performed by an independent laboratory in accordancewith the ISO 8655 standard using 1000 µl pipettes with 1000 µl tips from thecorresponding manufacturers.
