How it works New technology improves speed and accuracy for repeat pipetting using serological pipets. Is there an affordable solution that improves both the speed and accuracy of repeat pipetting? A standard pipet controller is used to aspirate and dispense macro volumes of liquid. While it is possible to repeatedly pipet the same volume over and over, the accuracy of each multi-dispense depends on the skill of the user to carefully observe the graduation lines on the pipet. Loss of efficiency and productivity result. Positive displacement repeat pipettors may be…

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…
