The BEV-1000 combines high-magnification imaging and precise mechanical control to support accurate beveling across a wide range of glass capillary sizes, as outlined
below:

  • Total magnification (optical + digital): 230×
  • 9” TFT panel display resolution: 1024 × 768
  • Beveling operation speed: 0 - 3,000 RPM
  • Flat diamond wheel with a surface variance of <2 μm/cm ensure you get a clean bevel with less tip breakage
  • Compatible with range of glass capillary sizes, up to 3 mm outer diameter
  • Excellent flexibility and control over the finished beveled angle

Benefits

  • Large LCD screen for enhanced visibility, and reduced eye strain vs relying on microscope eyepieces for visualization
  • Adjustable speed and brightness all on one plane for easy adjustment during use
  • Protective tinted shield both defends against residual glass debris during beveling and brightness from light source
  • All-in-one system, all required components are included, no hidden costs or add-ons needed
  • Straightforward axis manipulation for pipette vs camera adjustment

*Note : Very small pipette tips (sub-micron range) may be beveled; however, measurement of the tip outer diameter below 8 µm is not verifiable using the integrated scale. External high-magnification microscopy may be required for smaller measurements.

**Note : The smallest measurement distance is 2.54 µm with 10× eyepieces, and the smallest verifiable tip size using the scale division on the monitor is 8 µm.
