As one of the most frequently used tools in the lab, pipettes are often exposed to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, as well as normal wear and tear from repeated use. The materials used in the construction of the Ovation M (Mechanical) pipette were specifically chosen to withstand the harshest lab conditions and to minimize the lifetime maintenance costs. Pipette Materials Main Body, Counter wheels, Plunger Button = Special Grade Nylon 6/12 with reinforcing, lubricated additive. Hook and Top Cover = High impact, drop resistant Polyphenylsulphone Volume Display Window…
Get ahead of RSI and save your career
The strain of triturating cells using normal pipettes caused a repetitive strain injury in my right hand… to the point that I could no longer perform simple tasks like writing with a pen or pencil. My doctor told me to stop pipetting…” –Read Margarete’s full RSI cautionary tale – scroll to the bottom Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and tendonitis are just some examples of repetitive strain injury (RSI) that can result from extensive manual pipetting. Get ahead of these conditions before they begin to compromise your ability to do…
Transforming Aliquoting Tasks from Tedious to Effortless
Cell culture is a significant component of many labs. Seemingly mundane tasks such as plating and feeding cells is often a large part of a scientist’s day. Aliquoting samples, cells for cryopreservation, or reagents for media prep, and similar repetitive activities, are necessary and can be tedious. The ali-Q™ 2 innovative technology and unique pipet controller design, allows for more efficient, accurate, and easier aliquoting. The ali-Q’s 2-in-1 capability of repeat pipetting plus conventional aspirating and dispensing provide a one-stop solution for serological pipetting needs. Pipetting liquids using a…
3 reasons why Wobble-nots help you pipette with 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: Less worry of drops that will affect accuracy of the dispensed volume. Less worry of contamination of samples and/or work surfaces by inadvertent drops. Less worry of arm fatigue when having to move slowly for fear of dripping with a wobbly pipet….
3 Reasons why using the ali-Q 2 pipet controller will pay for itself
We know that scientists are constantly under pressure. Between staying up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in their field, devising the “best” experiments to get data for proving their hypotheses, and performing the many tasks to complete their experiments, scientists don’t have a lot of spare time on their hands. From gathering/acquiring the necessary reagents and supplies, to having the proper equipment before actually carrying out the many steps in an experiment, the process is jam-packed with tasks that take a lot of thought, attention, and time. If you…
