VIEW RSI AND YOU POSTER The pipetting problem When thinking about ergonomic and pain issues in the lab, is there anything more relevant than pipetting problems, particularly for those labs invested heavily in manual liquid handling and cell culture? Simply put, repetitive motion and hand strain are serious issues. In addition to risk of RSI, accuracy and precision can be compromised and lab productivity can suffer as a result. Proper posture is key Proper posture is the most important element in establishing good ergonomic practices. During repetitive tasks such as…

Why fixed volume pipettes may have a place in your lab
Most research labs only use pipettes with a digital volume adjusting mechanism. These pipettes are easy to set over a volume range and provide a lot of flexibility. So why would you ever use a pipette set for only one single volume? Here are some reasons why you may want a fixed volume pipette: Better Accuracy. Digital pipettes cover a range of volumes but can only be calibrated at one volume, the highest volume in the range, e.g. at 1000 uL for a 100 – 1000 uL pipette. The rest…
