The most ergonomic pipettes I have ever used
Application Area:SARS-CoV-2 RNA Extraction and Testing
"I love my new Ovation ESC Pipettes. The reason these pipettes were bought was because I got acute tendinitis from pipetting so many RNA extractions for SARS-CoV-2 PCR. I was using another brand of electronic pipette but the manual ejection of the pipette tip was really hurting my thumb. My wrist was also hurting due to the angle at which I had to hold the pipette. I heard about these pipettes from a lab member at another lab that owns them when I was complaining about my injuries. Since using the Ovation Pipettes, my tendinitis has gotten a lot better and I'm able to finish more extractions than I was before. My favorite thing about these pipettes is how little force it takes to do everything, especially when compared to other pipette brands."

Great accurate pipets (electronic) at same cost of a regular pipet-man. Excellent
Application Area:Education
"Ovation electronic pipets I have been using for over ten years. They have saved me hundreds of hours over those years. They are quick, repeatable, highly accurate, and the ergonomics are fantastic. With the hundreds of thousands of aliquots over these years, I do not know what shape my hands would be in if I did them all manually."

Application Area:Small Molecule Quantification by LC-MS/MS
"I transitioned to these pipettes about 8 years ago. After pipetting for a decade my thumb joint started hurting daily to the point I was going to have to find a different career. I met with an ergonomic specialist who found these pipettes for me to try. Ovation was and continues to be excellent to work with, they were very helpful in picking out the pipettes for my work. My lab does small molecule quantification by LC-MS/MS so we need highly accurate and precise pipettes- and these work significantly better than the standard pipettes! These pipettes can also be calibrated quickly and easily- no longer needing to send pipettes out for calibration."

Application Area:Liquid Handling
"I bought the 25-1250 (purple) and the 5 to 250 (blue) sizes. The design is ergonomic and easy to use with no strain on my hands. I really like to use these for making serial dilutions of virus because it does the trituration for me in a motorized way, saving me the wrist stress. However, the attachment point is so narrow that you can't use off-brand tips for it, and the tips are both expensive and too short - I like to have tips that are long enough to reach into a 15 mL or 50 mL conical tube without the barrel of the pipette touching the walls of the tube, and this is not possible with their tips. Thus, I am restricted to using these pipettes only in shorter tubes (5 ml or smaller)."

We would recommend this product to any lab looking to replace plunger-style pipettes
Application Area:Perform dilutions of acid-digested mineral samples, industrial concentrates, and process solutions
"The pipette is very easy to use, eliminates the need for calibration and maintenance of multiple traditional pipettes over a wide volume range, and effectively standardizes the action of dispensing a sample aliquot relative to a plunger pipette which can vary between users. The range of the pipette used (50-10,000 uL) was not entirely reproducible for all samples given the high-acid matrix, but was adequate for larger aliquot dilutions. In summary, the pros far outweighed the cons for our application, we would recommend these pipettes to any lab for replacing traditional plunger-style pipettes."
