Where can one find pipettors?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a stockist of variable volume micropipettors (and the pipettor tips).
At the moment I'm after a good 20-200uL size one.
I'm located in Germany, so a UK/Europe supplier would be preferred.

I've encountered the usual problem in the most places seem to either sell shite quality ones, or don't sell to private individuals.

Thanks in advance

The ODIN (Open Discovery Institute) is good, I like theirs.
They are not Gilson, but they feel as nice to use, and $40 each lets you put together a set for $120. They also sell boxes of suitable tips in tip autoclavable containers for $5 a piece. Some of their DIYBIO stuff such as CRISPR kits look good too, but I have yet to figure if they can be brought into my country (although there was a rumor that they could).

Their attitude and philosophy is close to that of ours (this board), and I admire that.

Quick shipping and good service too, internationally. I really can't think of anything that they could improve.

I have some Gilson and other brand pipettors, have lots of 200 ul ones, which do 20-200 ul, even have some tips. The shipping to Germany might be a little high, but they are not too heavy so might be practical.
