Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic pipette comprising a piston actuated by a motor, a control system, a user interface (1, 2) and a display (3). The control system comprises at least two pipetting setting arrays, each comprising at least one setting, such as a calibration setting or a pipetting function setting acting over the entire volume range, which setting can be changed for each array of settings, with the desired setting array being selectable for use each time. This enables the pipette to be readily used for various purposes of use without having to adjust these settings separately.

8. An electronic pipette comprising
a piston actuated in a cylinder by a motor, a control system enabling the piston to be moved a distance such that a dose volume of liquid selected from a given volume range is aspirated into or dispensed from the pipette, wherein the control system comprises at least two pipetting setting arrays, each comprising at least one setting that acts over the entire volume range and that can be changed separately for each array of settings, whereby a desired setting array can be selected for use in each case, a user interface (1, 2) and a display (3) included in the user interface.

13. A control system for an electronic pipette, allowing actuation of a piston in a cylinder moving a distance such that a dose volume of liquid selected from a given volume range is aspirated into or dispensed from the pipette, characterised in that at least two pipetting setting arrays can be stored in the control system independently of each other, each of the arrays comprising at least one setting acting over the entire volume range, whereby a desired setting array can be selected for use in each case.

14. An electronic pipette comprising
a piston actuated by a motor in a cylinder, a control system allowing the piston to be moved a distance such that a dose volume of liquid selected from a given volume range is aspirated into or dispensed from the pipette, N a user interface (1, 2), and a display (3) pertaining to the user interface, characterised in that the control system has a lock function allowing restriction of the use of the pipette or of changes of its settings so that only an authorised person may release the locking.
