ali-Q Aliquoting Pipet Controller
I am a PhD student working in a neurotechnology lab at MIT to develop new methods to bridge between brain structure and brain function in small organisms like zebrafish. We use antibody staining methods to map the brain structure;… Read more “”
Very good alternative for a pipette controller, with the repeat dispensing!
The Ali-Q2 does exactly what it promised. Aliquoting and dispensing in the same piece of equipment, at a comparable cost to other “dispensing only” units. The Ali-Q2 is bulkier, but not problematic to handle. The precision is very good and… Read more “Very good alternative for a pipette controller, with the repeat dispensing!”
Wonderful.
The first one was great but this is even better! The ability to control the force/speed at which the aliquots come out have been pivotal in making this equipment usable in most/all scenarios. It’s generally easy to control the speed… Read more “Wonderful.”
Accurate and convenient for multi-purpose usage.
It has a simple design but many functions. Easy to change speed and amount. Application Area:General laboratory
A valuable asset to the team!
This has been a wonderful addition to our team. It has made some large scale tasks much quicker and easier for all involved. Application Area:Laboratory
Great value for functionality!
I was impressed with the increased functionality of the ali-Q variable speed aliquoting pipet controller considering the cost was not all that much higher. So far it is working great! Application Area:Microbiology
Great product, can’t live without it!
Product is very easy to use and streamlined our production of samples. Application Area:Molecular diagnostics
It has its uses.
It is efficient for mass amounts of samples but is cumbersome to work with for a few samples at a time over a regular battery operated pipette. Application Area:Food science
Great product – makes work faster and easier!
This product has been a great addition to the lab! It makes many standard tasks both easier and faster and I have been very satisfied with the level of precision this instrument has Application Area:Cell Culture
Efficient!
Simple but efficient because of its many functions and a new removable kickstand and on-board calibration, plus lighter in weight than the original. Application Area: Laboratory
For sure we recommend it
It was a big change in the lab. Now we can dispense the same volume without the need of different and expensive tips
Life saver when aliquoting hundreds of vials with mls of volume.
Initial product had issues with charging port. Customer service team immediately sent a shipping label, replaced the dysfunctional component and returned the product within 72 hours of receiving. Excellent service. Application Area: Protein production
Great product, I cannot live without it
This pipettor is fantastic as it allows me to dispense the exact volume of medium per well without the need of paying attention to the serological pipette. Saves lots of time and is really convenient. Super recommended. Application Area:Stem cell… Read more “Great product, I cannot live without it”
I’d buy ali-Q2 VS in a heartbeat. Great lab gadget!
It helps makes life easier aliquoting solutions and preparing buffers and also, aliquoting cells suspended in media in multi-well plates. It’s such an accurate tool. I don’t even need to look sometimes as I know it’s dispensing the right volume… Read more “I’d buy ali-Q2 VS in a heartbeat. Great lab gadget!”
Ovation Pipettes
Most Comfortable Pipette I’ve Ever Used! And it’s Accurate too!
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 Read more “Most Comfortable Pipette I’ve Ever Used! And it’s Accurate too!”
This is my favorite lab tool.
Best pipette for my money hands down. Ergonomically superior. Equivalent to standard pipettes in terms of accuracy/precision. Application Area: Pipette Molecular Biology

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
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.… Can be used with different tips which is great for single ecosystem labs. Application Area: Immunology Read more “Efficient and accurate.”
Hand savers.
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 Read more “Hand savers.”
Completely eliminated pain from my repetitive strain injury.
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. Application Area: Pluripotent stem cell differentiation Read more “Completely eliminated pain from my repetitive strain injury.”
