Product Description
The Labnet FastPette™ Pro P2004 is a lightweight, ergonomically shaped electronic motorized pipet controller — designed for work with glass or plastic serological pipettes from 0.5 to 100 mL range. Conveniently positioned switches allow choosing different operation modes and speed depending on the volume of the serological pipette and liquid viscosity. Aspirating and dispensing speed is controlled through two comfortable finger triggers. Liquids can be dispensed by gravity or by blow-out using the motorized pump. When fully charged, the Li-ion battery enables up to six hours of continuous use. The large LCD display indicates battery status along with the pipetting mode and speed selected. To protect the device against overfilling, the FastPette™ Pro is equipped with a 0.2 µm PTFE hydrophobic filter. The filter, pipet holder, and nosepiece are fully autoclavable. Supplied with 0.2 µm PTFE filter, Li-ion battery, universal charger with adapter set (EU, USA, GBR, KOR, and AUS), and wall hanger. Catalog # P2004.
P2004 vs. P2002 — Li-Ion vs. NiMH: The Key Distinction Between FastPette™ Pro Models The FastPette™ Pro is available in two models — the P2004 and P2002 — identical in design, features, and compatibility with one critical difference: the battery system.
| P2004 | P2002 | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Type | Li-ion (lithium-ion) | NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) |
| Battery Life | Up to 6 hours continuous use | Up to 8 hours continuous use |
| Best For | Labs preferring Li-ion battery technology and modern charging | Labs requiring maximum battery duration per charge |
| Charger | Universal charger with adapter set | Universal charger with adapter set |
| Filter | 0.2 µm PTFE autoclavable | 0.2 µm PTFE autoclavable |
| Display | LCD | LCD |
The P2004 is the preferred choice for labs that prefer Li-ion battery technology — providing a modern, rechargeable battery with excellent cycle life, no memory effect, and a compact energy-dense form factor. For labs requiring maximum battery duration per charge, the P2002 NiMH model provides up to 8 hours per charge.
Dual Finger Trigger Speed Control — Precision Aspiration and Dispensing The two finger trigger design of the FastPette™ Pro P2004 provides intuitive, responsive speed control for both aspiration and dispensing operations. The amount of pressure applied to the trigger adjusts the aspiration speed — allowing fine-tuned control for different pipette volumes and liquid viscosities without mode switching. For high-viscosity liquids that require slower, more controlled aspiration to prevent foaming, splashing, and incomplete fill, the pressure-sensitive trigger allows real-time speed adjustment throughout the aspiration stroke.
Multiple Operation Modes — Adaptable to Any Workflow Conveniently positioned switches allow choosing different operation modes and speed depending on the volume of the serological pipette and liquid viscosity. The FastPette™ Pro P2004 supports multiple pipetting modes including standard aspiration and dispensing, high-speed mode for low-viscosity aqueous solutions, low-speed mode for high-viscosity reagents, and blow-out mode for complete pipette emptying. The mode selection switches are positioned for one-hand operation — accessible without repositioning the hand grip during active pipetting.
Gravity and Blow-Out Dispensing — Two Dispensing Methods in One Controller Liquids can be dispensed by gravity or by blow-out using the motorized pump. The dual dispensing capability of the FastPette™ Pro P2004 provides flexibility for different application requirements:
- Gravity dispensing — allows controlled, precise dispensing at the natural flow rate of the liquid, ideal for sensitive reagents and cell culture media where gentle dispensing prevents bubble formation
- Blow-out dispensing — uses the motorized pump to fully empty the pipette with a positive pressure blow-out step, ideal for complete delivery of viscous liquids, gels, and any reagent where gravity dispensing would leave residual volume in the pipette
Large LCD Display — Real-Time Status at a Glance The large LCD display indicates battery status along with the pipetting mode and speed selected. The real-time LCD readout of battery level, operating mode, and speed setting eliminates the need to interrupt pipetting to check instrument status — allowing continuous, uninterrupted workflow with full instrument status visibility at all times.
Li-Ion Battery — Up to 6 Hours Continuous Use When fully charged, the Li-ion battery enables up to six hours of continuous use. Should the charge run low during work, the universal charger can be connected and the FastPette™ Pro P2004 continues to operate while charging — eliminating workflow interruption from battery depletion. The Li-ion battery is protected against overcharging by thermal and timing protection systems. The battery is easily accessed for replacement when required using the optional SP29096 Li-ion battery set.
0.2 µm PTFE Hydrophobic Filter — Overfill Protection To protect the device against overfilling, the FastPette™ Pro is equipped with a 0.2 µm PTFE hydrophobic filter. The hydrophobic PTFE filter prevents liquid from entering the motor and internal components of the FastPette™ Pro P2004 in the event of pipette overfill — protecting the instrument from liquid contamination damage. The 0.2 µm pore size also provides sterile filtration of air drawn into the pipette during aspiration — preventing airborne contamination of the pipette interior. An additional 0.2 µm PTFE filter is included in the box for immediate replacement when needed.
Fully Autoclavable Components — Contamination-Free Pipetting The filter, the pipet holder and the nosepiece are autoclavable. The three critical contact components of the FastPette™ Pro P2004 — the PTFE filter, silicone pipet holder, and nosepiece — are fully autoclavable, enabling complete decontamination between applications and between users. Each component is individually replaceable using the available accessories (SP9143, SP29052, SP29054) — eliminating the need to replace the entire instrument when a contact component reaches end of life.
0.5 to 100 mL Range — Complete Serological Pipette Compatibility Designed for work with glass or plastic serological pipettes from 0.5 to 100 mL range. The FastPette™ Pro P2004 is compatible with all standard serological pipette volumes from the smallest 0.5 mL format through the largest 100 mL pipette — covering the complete range of serological pipette sizes used in cell culture, media preparation, reagent preparation, and general laboratory liquid handling. The silicone pipet holder (SP29054) provides a secure, airtight seal across the full range of pipette sizes within this volume range.
Universal Charger — Compatible with All Major Electrical Standards Supplied with a universal charger with adapter set (EU, USA, GBR, KOR, and AUS). The universal charger included with the P2004 is compatible with electrical standards in five major regions — making the FastPette™ Pro P2004 suitable for international use and international shipping without requiring a separate power adapter purchase.
