Supreme Security
• The identification of installed reagents and media allows
full traceability, including patient ID and test protocols
performed. It also prevents errors such as the use of
incorrect or expired ID-Cards, microplates or reagents.
Standardized Pipetting
• Following the given test protocols precisely,
Swing standardizes the cell suspensions and
the pipetting volumes.
Pipetting of ID-Cards
Compact and Quick
• Swing requires little bench space, but it unites all the
features of larger automates, such as liquid level
detection. It is able to perform all routine and most
specialist tests for ID-Cards and DiaMed microplates.
• Its compact design makes Swing a fast and efficient
pipettor.
Bi-Directional
• Connected to a host computer, Swing automatically
imports a worklist, performs the tests accordingly and
provides the pipetting data to a reader.

User-Friendly Operation
• The intuitive software of Swing guides you through the
different steps and provides all relevant information
whenever you need it.
• This helps to save time while using Swing and reduces
training time.
Customize or Extend
• Swing is compatible with DiaMed readers, pipetting/full
automates or can be used stand-alone. This enables you
to customize your laboratory according to your current
and future requirements.
