Drummond Scientific's Pipet-Aid XP - the industry standard for laboratory sample handling. With an easily accessible 9-volt (Ni-MH) rechargeable battery and the ability to accommodate most pipettes from 1 to 100 mL, you'll have the flexibility to work wherever while sampling whatever.
The XP's speed settings for pipet filler and dispenser modes provide precise control and accuracy. The fast speed mode delivers up to 50 mL in 5 seconds, while the slow speed mode is ideal for using small pipettes or when you need more precise delivery. The double membrane filter prevents cross-contamination, and the EZ Grip nosepiece allows for quick and easy filter replacement should over-pipetting occur.
You can also opt for the gravity drain model, which substitutes a gravity drain function for the fast mode on the dispense button.
Upgrade your pipetting game today with the Pipet-Aid XP and experience why users worldwide make Drummond Scientific their sample handling partner.

Operations & Service
Speed Controls: The XP has three settings on each button to set the desired speed range (S=slow, M=medium, F=fast). The fill and empty buttons are independent and can be set at different speeds. The speeds are changed by simply rotating the button until a detent is felt and the letter is upright when held in the right hand. The buttons are also proportional. As with all other Pipet-Aids, the further you depress the button, the faster filling or dispensing will result. With both buttons set at “M,” the XP will operate at the same speed as the Portable Pipet-Aid. Rotating the button to “S” will reduce the speed to approximately half of the medium speed, while rotating to “F” will double the medium speed. DO NOT CHANGE SPEED RANGES WITH LIQUID IN THE PIPETTE.
Changing the Filter & Nosepiece Removal: Unlike other Pipet-Aids with the T.C. nosepiece, the XP has a one-piece nosepiece that contains the filter and rubber insert. This nosepiece locks into place and will not loosen when removing the pipette. To remove the nosepiece, slide the nosepiece release button towards the handle and turn the nosepiece one-quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Battery Replacement: The battery is in the handle's upper portion. Removal of one Philips screw (B) will enable you to remove the battery compartment door, which will give you access to the battery. Use only Drummond replacement batteries (4-000-035). Under normal conditions, these batteries should last approximately two years.
Charging the Battery: The Drummond replacement battery is a Ni-MH battery that should be charged overnight following use. No “memory” will be developed, and overcharging is not a problem.
Use of the Removable Stand: This lightweight stand slides onto the top of the XP, enabling the user to set the Pipet-Aid XP down without removing or emptying the pipette. The stand will prevent liquid from running back into the nosepiece and prevent the pipette tip from contacting anything, thus maintaining sterility. When not needed, the stand is easily removed.
