Description
Hand switch for akku-drive® and opus® is a remote trigger accessory that initiates the dosing process on compatible laboratory dispensers. It enables operators to start dispensing from a convenient handheld control, improving workflow ergonomics during repetitive titration or liquid-handling tasks. Designed for use with both akku-drive® and opus® dispenser systems from manufacturer Hirschmann, the hand switch supports clear, deliberate actuation of the dosing cycle without needing to operate the instrument panel directly. Supplied as 1 pc with a net weight of 0,075 kg, it is a compact add-on for analytical and routine laboratory setups. The control is useful wherever hands-on positioning of vessels or burettes is required while dosing is triggered separately. Packaging remains modest for easy storage with other dispenser accessories. Laboratories standardising on akku-drive® or opus® platforms can equip workstations with this hand switch to streamline start-of-dose commands and maintain consistent handling practice across users and benches.
This article belongs on Pipette stands, calibration & accessories, in Liquid handling.

Questions about HAND-OPERATED KEY
What is this article?
HAND-OPERATED KEY is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hirschmann for laboratory use. It sits in Pipette stands, calibration & accessories, inside Liquid handling, in Instruments de précision.
A pipette stand holds piston pipettes upright so liquid does not run into the piston. Calibration accessories and certificates are how a pipette's delivered volume is shown to be inside tolerance. A stand is also a carousel. The certificate belongs to one pipette, identified by serial number.
A piston pipette delivers a set volume of liquid by air displacement or, for viscous and volatile liquids, by positive displacement. A single channel is the ordinary tool. A multichannel repeats the same volume across a row of a plate. A bottle-top dispenser meters reagent from the bottle it sits on. The accuracy is a property of the pipette and of how it is used, which is why calibration and a certificate exist. Piston-operated apparatus is treated under ISO laboratory apparatus. The volume unit sits with the BIPM and NIST.
