Pipette Doctor UK is pleased to announce that it is the official service company for Sartorius-Biohit's new "Roboline" in the UK market. The following is an extract from Sartorius-Biohit's release.
"More efficient R&D and production processes are leading to increased liquid handling automation in many laboratories. Industrial laboratories in particular are seeking to move away from handheld pipettes towards computer-controlled analysis systems and liquid handling equipment that makes use of robotics.
To meet the growing demand, Sartorius-Biohit is now launching a new type of tool for automated pipetting. The Sartorius-Biohit Roboline is a simple, small and easy-to-use automated liquid handling instrument that enables the user to automate a single work stage or a whole application. The Sartorius-Biohit Roboline is
•Easy to use thanks to the simple working area and easy programmability
•Flexible and will adapt nearly any tubes plates and applications
•Reliable due to liquid level-sensing tips and a precise and reproducible dispensing module.
•Safe and ergonomic and will protect you from RSI and hazardous liquids.
•Environmental friendly with low energy consumption and durable design
Contact Sartorius-Biohit for launch schedule in different markets
Sartorius-Biohit Roboline, the automated liquid handling instrument is now available in the UK, France and Finland.

DON'T BE FOOLED!
This news release is an item that has caused us some concern. If you are a user of Sartorius-Biohit electronic pipettes or another make of electronic pipette then this may affect you.
Sartorius-Biohit is the world leader in electronic pipetting and these tools, like their counterparts from competing manufacturers, are specialised tools that require both training and the requisite tools and spares to service correctly. It has recently been brought to our attention that some third party companies have written off a number of these units through lack of knowledge and substituted these pipettes for other brands.
A number of the units however have been returned to Pipette Doctor Ltd (the only authorised and trained company for Sartorius-Biohit products) for inspection. 90% of those units returned to us required a simple repair using the correct components and tools, or a simple battery replacement. These units have been returned to the laboratories and are now back in the working environment.
We would like to hear from you if you use Sartorius-Biohit electronics and will be more than happy to advise on correct service and repair.
