Ovation M – a micropipette like no other!

March 22, 2022 by VistaLab

Focus on the science instead of the pain

Let’s face it, pipetting takes stamina and precision. If your body is uncomfortable or worse yet, in pain, both are compromised and your accuracy will suffer, not to mention your health.

To be ergonomically correct, real differences in traditional pipetting postures are crucial – like minimizing awkward wrist positions, keeping a low arm and elbow height, and relaxing the shoulders and upper arms. This is virtually impossible when using pipettes with elongated, completely vertical axial designs. Simply decreasing button pressure or changing a grip doesn’t make a pipette ergonomic – an entirely different type of device design is needed in order to truly minimize the risk factors so common with traditional pipettes.

Ovation® M is a pipette like no other! It has the easy mechanical operation that you’re familiar with but with unique design features to significantly reduce repetitive strain injury (RSI).

Better for your health and better for your work. Maximize your comfort and accuracy!

Ovation M Micropipette Features and Benefits

Key Ovation M Ergonomic Features:

Reduce hand and grip stress:
• Unique contoured body shape to be held comfortably
• Adjustable hook to “hang” on your hand for feather-light feel

Reduce wrist pain with angled (non-vertical) pipette orientation:
• Lower arm position
• Natural wrist rotation

Reduce thumb force and stress:
• Low force plunger action
• Easy “click” tips on and spring-loaded “flick” tips off

Stop putting up with the pain of traditional axial pipettes. “Pounding” tips to secure them onto your pipette is unnecessary and causes additional strain on your hand and arm.  Eliminate thumb pain from using excessive force during tip ejection. Stop the “this is how it’s always been” and “everybody does it” attitude. Save yourself from RSI with Ovation M mechanical, ergonomic micropipette from VistaLab. We design products for your health so you can focus on the science.


You Deserve a Standing Ovation

Most comfortable pipette I’ve ever used.

This is the most comfortable, ergonomically-designed pipette I’ve ever used. I wish every lab had these. Application Area: Reconstitution of reagents

These pipettes are absolutely hand savers. I have been in research for over 20 years. Carpal tunnel and arthritis have become an issue with my hands especially my thumbs. These pipettes really decrease hand strain. Have allowed me to continue to work. Self standing feature as well as being lightweight, easy tip ejection and a slot to pry open tubes all contribute to the ergonomic design. They are priced similarly to classic manual pipettes. They do need brand specific tips.
Application Area: Effect of steroids in brain development

Efficient and accurate.

These pipettes have proven to be very accurate. I’ve been a user of ovation pipettes for the last 15 years (starting out with their first generation electronic single channel pipettes). I’m glad they now have a manual variety as well.

These pipettes have proven to be very accurate. I’ve been a user of ovation pipettes for the last 15 years (starting out with their first generation electronic single channel pipettes). I’m glad they now have a manual variety as well. Can be used with different tips which is great for single ecosystem labs.

As someone suffering from prior wrist injuries with a high susceptibility to RSI and a constant need to pipette samples, I cannot recommend this pipette enough! We purchased the instrument in October 2016 and it has been a very great experience. The pipette has a short, easy-to-depress plunger, but it isn’t as such an angle that it is easy to accidentally depress. The volume adjustment is done by turning the plunger, but it isn’t one that you have to turn a billion times in order to get the volume that you want; it takes about 5 quarter turns to go from 180uL to 360uL on ours (we have the 100-1000uL/ purple variety). While at first unusual, the grip is quite comfortable and keeps your wrist in a neutral position, no matter what you are pipetting into. We have purchased a lot of repair parts for the pipette in case of an emergency, but all we’ve really had to work on have been the filters, which isn’t usual, I imagine. I do like that the parts are all readily available on the manufacturer’s website, along with guides as to basic maintenance and repair. We’ve had our pipette for just under two years and we ran a pipette test on it just this past week (more to test my techs’ skills in a friendly competition than to check on the pipette) and, although we ran the test using a thick oil standard, we got similar results to the manufacturer’s specifications, which are based on using DI water. I think we’ve got it for the long haul! We use this instrument several times daily to run ASTM D7279 and I couldn’t recommend it more.
Application Area: Oil Sample Injection for Viscosity Test

Must have! (Especially if you have any sort of hand pain)

These are incredibly easy to use and hand friendly! I have had surgery on my wrist twice and very quickly was able to use these to get back to work without pain that I would otherwise have from traditional pipettes.

As a pluripotent stem cell researcher, I routinely spend a lot of time dissociating and passaging cells. The strain of triturating cells using normal pipettes caused a repetitive strain injury in my right hand. The pain got worse and worse over time, to the point that I could no longer perform simple tasks like writing with a pen or pencil. My doctor told me to stop pipetting, but of course, that is not a feasible solution in my profession. He then suggested using ergonomic pipettes instead of regular ones. I switched to Ovation M Manual pipettes and after only one week of using them the pain substantially reduced. The pain in my right hand is now completely gone and I feel normal again. These ergonomic pipettes are not a compromise in any way. Pipetting is accurate and reproducible. The tube opener in the bottom is also quite useful. I would suggest heavy pipettors to switch to ovation BEFORE they develop strain injuries the way I did.
