Good experience with SWITCH
"SWITCH is super easy to use and has both manual and repeatedly dispensing functions integrated into one. It is not only cost efficient but really help improve my work."

Why choose? Have it all.
Three reasons you never have to compromise again.
01
Less back and forth
One aspiration, multiple dispenses. Stop cycling between tools and stay focused on your experiment, not your pipette.
02
Reduced fatigue
Ergonomic design based on research in partnership with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences — the lowest total plunger force tested. Your hands will notice.
03
One tool, not two
Manual precision and electronic repeat dispensing in one instrument. Less equipment on the bench. Less complexity in your workflow.
FAQ
Questions before you get in touch
The INTEGRA SWITCH is ergonomically designed, to reduce hand strain and RSI risk (based on research in partnership with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences), and had the lowest total plunger force tested — 8.4 N at 200 µl - as well as low loading and ejections forces. The electronic repeat dispense mode reduces repetitive manual aspiration-dispense cycles, significantly lowering cumulative thumb and wrist strain.
Yes. The INTEGRA SWITCH is a hybrid handheld pipette that toggles between manual and electronic repeat dispense mode without programming. A physical quick set ring controls volume, aliquot count, and dispense speed; all through the control of your thumb - no software or configuration required.
Switching to a hybrid pipette like the INTEGRA SWITCH reduces fatigue in many ways. For example: the electronic repeat dispense mode eliminates repeated manual aspiration during aliquoting, and the ergonomic design (based on research in partnership with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences) delivers the lowest total plunger force tested among comparable pipettes.
A hybrid pipette combines manual and electronic pipetting in one instrument. Unlike a standard electronic pipette, the SWITCH requires no programming. It defaults to manual pipetting and switches to electronic repeat dispensing via a toggle — making it as intuitive as a manual pipette with the efficiency of electronic aliquoting.
The SWITCH is available in ranges from 0.2 µl to 1000 µl. It uses INTEGRA GRIPTIP tips and is designed for aqueous liquids under standard laboratory conditions.
Applications
Workflows this solves
Daily pipetting
Mixing, resuspending, measuring unknown volumes, transferring samples — all with the familiar manual control and precise feel you already know.
Serial dilution
Precise manual mode for dilution steps. Toggle to electronic for plate transfers. No instrument change mid-protocol.
Reagent distribution
Set count and volume on the quick set ring. Distribute the same aliquot across tubes in seconds without returning to a separate tool.
