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…
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
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 experimental outcomes. The ali-Q ™ aliquoting pipet controller is designed to address these challenges, and enables rapid, accurate aliquoting while maximizing user comfort and ease of operation.

A versatile all-in-one solution for conventional and repeat pipetting
The ali-Q™ 2 Series features new technology for increased versatility, without sacrificing affordability. Liquid handling tasks, such as aliquoting reagents or media for cell culture, are part of the daily routine in many laboratories. Such tasks require a fair amount of skill and attention to ensure accurate and consistent volumes for successful experimental outcomes. Hours spent pipetting and aliquoting/multi-dispensing can also be physically demanding given the repetitive movements and uncomfortable postures associated with working in a hood. The innovative, revolutionary ali-Q™ technology provides fast, accurate, and more comfortable pipetting, offering…
