The experimental plan is drawn up. The new reagent you ordered is in solution and ready to go. You seeded your cells into dishes the day before, and they are growing as expected. All of your calculations are in order. Everything is in place and looks great. You set up and run your experiment without any issues or hiccups and collect your samples 48 hours later. You complete your downstream analyses, pull up the data on your screen, and your heart sinks. Your baseline values are well above average, obscuring…
Ovation M – a micropipette like no other!
Focus on the science instead of the pain Let’s face it, pipetting takes stamina and precision. If your body is uncomfortable or worse yet, in pain, both are compromised and your accuracy will suffer, not to mention your health. To be ergonomically correct, real differences in traditional pipetting postures are crucial – like minimizing awkward wrist positions, keeping a low arm and elbow height, and relaxing the shoulders and upper arms. This is virtually impossible when using pipettes with elongated, completely vertical axial designs. Simply decreasing button pressure or changing…
Repetitive Strain Injury in the Laboratory – Pipetting doesn’t have to be painful
Article by Angelo dePalma originally published on Biocompare Ergonomic pipettes help scientists avoid RSIs. Repetitive stress injury (RSI) is a common occurrence in laboratories, and is closely related to the ergonomics of operating instrumentation and equipment, and conducting simple but repetitive laboratory processes. Types and extents of injury vary, for example neck or back pain from sitting or bending a certain way for long periods. The key to avoiding RSI is to assume natural, strainfree posture while conducting experiments, for example using anti-fatigue floor mats and sitting supported by your…
4 reasons why pipetting with Wobble-not serological pipets means less worry
Serological pipets are practically ubiquitous in research labs. Do you use serological pipets every day? If so, do you find yourself thinking “drip happens” more often than you’d like? Does the worry of dripping affect your work? Well, you can alleviate worry when pipetting with Wobble-not™ serological pipets. Wobble-nots lessen worry of: Strain in your wrist from constant jamming Drops that will affect accuracy of the dispensed volume Arm fatigue when having to move slowly for fear of dripping with a wobbly pipet Contamination of samples and/or work surfaces by…
Relief for tedious repeat pipetting using serological pipets
The ali-Q™ 2 aliquoting pipet controller features never-before-seen dual pipetting technology. Repeat pipette using serological pipets and this 2-in-1 pipetter. When you have to dispense the same volume over and over again, a repeat pipetter used with your serological pipets can help decrease the time you have to spend in the hood. The ali-Q 2 is a unique repeat pipetter with innovative aliquoting technology using sensors and proprietary software that provides semi-automatic accurate multidispenses. Because of this computer controlled feature, you don’t have to watch the graduations on the serological pipet….
