With Pipetus, Hirschmann offers a battery-operated pipetting aid for all pipettes from 0.1 to 200 ml.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, laboratory courses were difficult to conduct due to lack of access to specialized equipment for remote learners. To overcome this challenge, researchers designed a laboratory exercise to teach students how to use micropipettes, through remote learning, using at-home kits.

Four additional variants have been added to Eppendorf’s line-up of Move It adjustable tip spacing pipettes. With adjustable cone distances, these pipettes allow scientists to accelerate and simplify their workflow when pipetting between different vessel formats such as from tubes to plates.

Eppendorf has developed the brand new Visionize pipette manager and is on its way towards digitalization in manual pipetting.

Tecan has expanded the range of pipetting options for its Cavro Magni Flex OEM liquid handling framework with the creation of the Air Restriction Pipettor (ARP).

The adjustable tip spacing pipette Voyager and the Viaflo lightweight electronic pipette from Integra were designed to meet the demands of labs engaged in the field of agricultural research into microbial evolution.

Tecan has launched the Fluent Mix and Pierce Workstation to provide end-to-end automation for whole blood pipetting in clinical environments. This newly developed instrument configuration is intended to standardize pre-analytical sample handling and mixing, and is part of an ongoing collaboration with Qiagen to optimize sample preparation for latent tuberculosis (TB) testing with the Quanti Feron-TB Gold Plus assay.

The 2021 SLAS Conference and Exhibition, the international trade fair for laboratory automation, will be held completely digitally this year. Analytik Jena will be there, offering participants of the online trade fair the opportunity to experience products, solutions and expert knowledge up close, despite the physical distance.

Getting good and consistent results for trace element analysis can be a daily challenge. For a start, contamination lurks everywhere, ready to trip you up. Next, there is the problem of sample-to-sample washout/memory effects randomly popping up to frustrate you. Then there’s the issue of interferences, which of course are at their worst for those elements that are most important to you.

Life scientists, in particular, spend a great deal of time pipetting and required more productive tools. Integra turned its attention to driving innovation in this niche market, and offers novel solutions such as the Voyager adjustable tip spacing pipette, Grip Tips and the Assist Plus pipetting robot.
