As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the ali-Q 2 is proving to be a vital asset for those performing crucial repetitive procedures in the laboratory to develop vaccines. Dr. Julie McAuley, Senior Research Officer at the Doherty Institute, reached out to VistaLab because she needed a repeat pipet controller that could deliver consistent aliquots with minimal manual labor. “I am currently doing SARS-CoV-2 research (the virus that causes COVID-19) and am having to do a lot of repetitive overlaying for my anti-viral neutralization testing and for our vaccine studies.“* Different applications…
Relieve Pipetting Pain With Ovation Pipettes
Unlike any other, Ovation pipettes were designed with user comfort and health in mind. Ergonomics is a Science, not a slogan. “I did my whole Ph.D. with “normal” pipets, resulting in greater and greater levels of wrist pain over the course of 5 years. By my second year of postdoc, it was bad enough that I would procrastinate experiments that involved pipetting…” – Daniel Dickinson, Ph D, University of Texas at Austin Read more about the Ovation pipettes that Dr. Dickinson switched to that helped him avoid giving up experimental…
ali-Q 2 Helps Scientists Prepare VTM Tubes for COVID-19 Response
For labs involved in COVID-19 research and testing, supplies, staff, and time can be extremely scarce and yet speed and efficiency are paramount in this battle. This includes the very time consuming and labor-intensive process of preparing Viral Transport Media (VTM) tubes; aliquoting/repeat pipetting 3 mL of VTM into hundreds of thousands of 15 mL tubes. Isabel Ott, a COVID response Lab Tech at Yale New Haven Hospital performs this tedious task and sought out a pipet controller that would help her reduce the manual strain and accelerate the process…

Transforming Aliquot Preparation from Tedious to Effortless
Preparing aliquots with a serological pipet is time-consuming, subject to operator error, and poses ergonomic challenges. ali-Q’s innovative pipet controller design make aliquoting a more efficient, accurate, and ergonomically friendly process. Liquid handling tasks, such as preparing aliquots, are part of the daily routine in many laboratories, especially for those whose primary application is cell culture. Preparing numerous aliquots can be a tedious, time-consuming task, often necessitating hours spent performing repetitive movements in uncomfortable postures. Aliquoting also requires skill and attention to ensure the accuracy and consistency critical to successful…
