Reliable and easy to use
Molecular biology and drug discovery
Easy to use and program different aspiration volumes for repeat dispensing with minimal tinkering while wearing gloves as well as adjusting tip spacing which is very useful when transfering from 1.5mL tubes on a rack (with the inevitable side tilting) to PCR strips. We also had to recalibrate/service some of our pipettes and arranging shipping and servicing in a short timeframe was easy and straightforward. Pipetting is consistent and when using grip-tips we have no issues with incorrect tip loading or variable aspiration volumes. Pre and post dispensing are also super useful when performing aspirations from low volume mastermix as we are certain we don't take any bubbles in. We have also used these pipettes on an integra robot and attaching and programming them was easy and straightforward.

A real game changer in our lab
Plate based assays
An easy to use robust electronic multichannel pipette. The automatic tip spacing adjustment allows for ease of movement between different plate formats. We use it frequently to move from 96-well stock blocks into 384-well assay plates and this avoids quadrants, making plate mapping easier. The motor drives are quite light and the clip tips mean that low pressure adding and ejection of tips is minimal force, making it much better for avoiding repetitive strain.
