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…
12-channel reservoirs for multi-purpose multichannel pipetting
VistaLab 12-channel reservoirs are in high demand and with good reason! With the need to get results quickly and high throughput assays being run more and more, multichannel pipetting is increasingly commonplace. 12-channel reservoirs provide a solution for easier, faster, and more efficient filling of your 96 well plates when you have different samples or reagents to add in each row or column. They are also extremely helpful in creating and then pipetting serial dilutions with their 5 mL capacity per channel and numbered wells. Our 12-channel reservoirs are made…
MLA Pipettes Sent to Space Station
A blast from the past! If there was ever a true testament to the high quality and performance of MLA pipettes… a trip to space takes the cake. 10 years ago, NASA chose MLA pipettes for a number of planned experiments on the International Space Station. VistaLab’s MLA D-Tipper pipettes were chosen for the mission because of their convenient size and precision engineered metal alloy construction being ideally suited for the challenging environment found in space. The snapshot above captures a glimpse of our pipettes wrapped and ready for action….
