Ovation Pipettes For Your Comfort & Health
Unlike any other, Ovation pipettes were designed with user comfort and health in mind. Many pipette manufacturers mention user comfort and ergonomics. However, these important aspects typically come as afterthoughts, often following descriptions of pipette performance metrics and features. VistaLab has turned this trend on its head with the design of the Ovation Series of pipettes. These innovative devices were developed with an ergonomic engineering-first strategy – placing user comfort paramount in the design – and coupling this with high-end performance features and quality. The results are unique, innovative, high-performance…
Pipette Forces – Facts and Fiction
Force, simply defined, is the energy required to accomplish a task and there’s a lot more to pipette forces than meets the eye (or in reality, the thumb). In fact, aspirating and dispensing is only one function of pipetting that requires the use of the thumb muscles. Tip acquisition and ejection usually requires excessive forces that contribute significantly to muscle fatigue. A strong interrelationship also exists between posture and force – the need for additional exertion increases as posture deviates from neutral positions. Therefore, when considering forces while choosing a…
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…
