- Environmental chamber for humidity control
- Programmable air pressure
- Memory storage for up to 100 programs
- Write protection and date stamp for each program
- Two symmetrical pipettes with each pull
- Two cooling modes: time and delay
- Preprogrammed sample programs for intracellular and patch pipettes. Special programming on request
- Ramp test - self test for establishing program heat settings when a new filament or glass is introduced
- Vacuum fluorescent display
