Brand Dispensette S Bottle-Top Dispenser, Digital, 5-50 ml, with Recirculation Valve, DE-M, 4600361

Product information "Brand Dispensette S Bottle-Top Dispenser, Digital, 5-50 ml, with Recirculation Valve, DE-M, 4600361"

Anyone in the laboratory who repeatedly needs media portioning in the microbiology laboratory wants to be able to read the volume without estimating the scale by eye. With 5 to 50 ml, the Dispensette S Digital covers exactly this need and shows the set value on the mechanical counter. The colour code red stands for the standard version, suitable for a wide range of acids, alkalis and solvents, but not for hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid above 20 percent or nitric acid above 30 percent.

Mounting and handling

After screwing on the matching bottle adapter and shortening the telescopic filling tube to the bottle height, the next step is venting: draw in and dispense into a waste container several times until no more air bubbles are visible. The mounting key supplied is used for later valve changes.

Media compatibility

The range of media includes aggressive reagents, highly concentrated acids such as phosphoric or sulphuric acid, salt solutions and many organic solvents. By contrast, hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid above 20 %, nitric acid above 30 %, THF, trifluoroacetic acid, carbon disulphide and explosive liquids must not be dispensed. The yellow Organic variant is intended for concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acid, THF and trifluoroacetic acid; for hydrofluoric acid, Brand recommends the Dispensette S Trace Analysis with platinum-iridium valve spring.

Autoclavability

The complete device is autoclavable: 121 °C, 2 bar, at least 15 minutes to DIN EN 285, cooling time around 2 hours in the closed autoclave. This means the Dispensette S Digital can also be used where sterile conditions are required for reagent dispensing, for example with microbiological culture media.

Distinction within the Dispensette S standard series

Compared with the Fix version of the same series, the Digital variant allows the volume to be chosen freely within the stated range, read from the counter rather than from a scale as with Analog. For workstations with constantly changing target volumes this is the more practical route, whereas for a single fixed value the simpler Fix version is sufficient.

Accuracy and graduation

Accuracy is 0.5 %/250 µl, the coefficient of variation figure 0.1 %/50 µl, the graduation 0.2 ml. These values apply to all volumes set within the range 5 to 50 ml and were determined according to the general test procedure for piston-stroke devices.

Digital counter

The digital counter allows fine, reproducible volume setting via the setting wheel. Unlike a Fix version, the volume can be chosen freely within the stated range, which saves time with changing batches in the same volume window because no second device is needed.

Recirculation function

This version has a recirculation valve. Excess liquid can thus be returned to the stock bottle without opening the discharge tube or removing the bottle. This is practical with expensive or hazardous reagents, for example when a calibration check needs several back-weighings or when too much volume was dispensed by mistake.

Frequently asked questions

Can the counter be reset to zero?
Yes, the setting wheel allows any volume within the stated range to be set, and the counter shows the value currently set.

Which bottle sizes fit the Dispensette S Digital?
According to the accessories table, the adapters GL 32-33, GL 38, S 40 fit. The telescopic filling tube can be shortened to the respective bottle height.

For which work step is the volume range 5 to 50 ml intended?
Typical uses include the preparation of culture solutions and buffers in larger batches, the range thus covers an application window in which a smaller or larger volume of the Digital series would no longer fit.

Typical applications

  • Media portioning in the microbiology laboratory
  • Filling larger quantities of reagent
  • Preparing culture solutions and buffers in larger batches
