Tacta

Description

The ergonomic design of the Tacta mechanical pipette enables lab staff to pipette several thousand times a day effortlessly. Thanks to its finger hook, there is no need to grip the pipette tightly; instead, it rests lightly in the user’s hand. To take the strain off muscles and joints, Sartorius also minimised the manual force needed for pipetting and ejecting used pipette tips. The pipette volume can be adjusted using just one hand.

Statement of the jury

A device that has been expertly designed with its place of use in mind, the Tacta makes laboratory work significantly easier and is thus a noteworthy example of outstanding design in this field.
