The experimental plan is drawn up. The new reagent you ordered is in solution and ready to go. You seeded your cells into dishes the day before, and they are growing as expected. All of your calculations are in order. Everything is in place and looks great. You set up and run your experiment without any issues or hiccups and collect your samples 48 hours later. You complete your downstream analyses, pull up the data on your screen, and your heart sinks. Your baseline values are well above average, obscuring…
Relief for tedious repeat pipetting using serological pipets
The ali-Q™ 2 aliquoting pipet controller features never-before-seen dual pipetting technology. Repeat pipette using serological pipets and this 2-in-1 pipetter. When you have to dispense the same volume over and over again, a repeat pipetter used with your serological pipets can help decrease the time you have to spend in the hood. The ali-Q 2 is a unique repeat pipetter with innovative aliquoting technology using sensors and proprietary software that provides semi-automatic accurate multidispenses. Because of this computer controlled feature, you don’t have to watch the graduations on the serological pipet….
Balancing tubes for ultracentrifugation a tedious task? ali-Q 2 can help with the struggle
Scenario: You need to balance your sample tubes for ultracentrifugation. Application: Preparative ultracentrifugation is a high-velocity centrifuge used in the separation of small submicroscopic particles. This process requires an ultracentrifuge machine to rotate rapidly, at extreme high speeds, to generate enough centrifugal force to separate the solution. This force will magnify any slight weight differences within the spinning samples. The struggle: It’s critical to properly balance your sample loads to avoid uneven distribution of weight that can cause rotor damage, uncontrolled heavy vibration, or other imbalance errors. Typically, samples are…
Transforming Aliquoting Tasks from Tedious to Effortless
Cell culture is a significant component of many labs. Seemingly mundane tasks such as plating and feeding cells is often a large part of a scientist’s day. Aliquoting samples, cells for cryopreservation, or reagents for media prep, and similar repetitive activities, are necessary and can be tedious. The ali-Q™ 2 innovative technology and unique pipet controller design, allows for more efficient, accurate, and easier aliquoting. The ali-Q’s 2-in-1 capability of repeat pipetting plus conventional aspirating and dispensing provide a one-stop solution for serological pipetting needs. Pipetting liquids using a…
3 Reasons why using the ali-Q 2 pipet controller will pay for itself
We know that scientists are constantly under pressure. Between staying up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in their field, devising the “best” experiments to get data for proving their hypotheses, and performing the many tasks to complete their experiments, scientists don’t have a lot of spare time on their hands. From gathering/acquiring the necessary reagents and supplies, to having the proper equipment before actually carrying out the many steps in an experiment, the process is jam-packed with tasks that take a lot of thought, attention, and time. If you…
