Awesome instrument, can't live without it!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Bioassay liquid transfer from plate to plate

Small and light weight, easy to maneuver and fit nicely in BSC; easy to use and program with iPad, and saves enormous time and prevents human error. Most value for the price, and excellent after sales care.

Speeds up pipetting compared to using multichannels, has reduced cross-contamination.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

High-throughput bacterial culture and passaging

The software is easy to use. The fact that the instrument connects to the iPad via bluetooth is convenient, allowing you to place the instrument in a hood or anaerobic chamber and leave the iPad outside. The small size of the instrument makes it portable and easy to move between locations. Compared to using a 12-channel multichannel 8 times, the MicroPro is faster, and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. The tips are slightly more expensive than tips used for a multichannel pipette, but only by a factor of 2 or so, and the convenience is worth it. It can only pipette up to 300uL at a time, but if I need a higher volume I just do 300uL multiple times. Have had for about a year and no issue with instrument yet.

Great instrument, definitely a time-saver!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

High throughput culture, expression, and assaying of protein variants

The MicroPro 300 has allowed our lab to rapidly generate high quality, reproducible results for our high throughput screening of protein variants. The software has a user-friendly interface and the customization of pipetting programs enables the user to create programs that satisfy any of their pipetting needs. It has been very reliable over the last four months of use with no issues.

Easy to set up, easy to use!

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

High throughput protein purification

One of the nicest features of the Avidien MicroPro 300 is the ease of setup. The app-based program control makes everything very intuitive. Given the small footprint of the instrument, it is perfect for tight work benches. We routinely use it to handle bacterial cultures and to perform high-throughput (96 well) protein purification. The only thing to keep in mind is that the lids for the Avidien boxes have a little bulge in the centre, so the pipette head needs to be adjusted to account for that, if the lids are being used as reservoirs or troughs (but it's very easy to do that using the software). The customer service is top notch (a special mention to Andrew Langlois here!) and the team is super responsive to any troubleshooting queries. The only limitation would be the volume range, but there are a range of applications that the current model can accommodate, despite that.

Analyze bacteria in sugars

The MicroPro 96/384 Well Benchtop pipettor was a great addition to our lab. The customer service and after care was amazing. We had one on one meetings with the representative. She showed us how to use the different functions. The functions were very useful. I was able to complete my experiment in a timely matter thanks to this device!

Immunology research

I can't work without this instrument. Small footprint, easily fits into a BSC. The software on the ipad is easy to program and very versatile. The instrument needs very little maintenance and has been very reliable. Service is excellent with quick responses and resolution. Look forward to updated versions which can handle >300 uL volumes.

Application Area:

Protein engineering workflow

This instrument has improved reproducibility, speed and throughput of the experiments we're able to do in the lab. It's a perfect balance of automated and manual for molecular and protein biology. Using the instrument is extremely intuitive. Customer support is unparalleled; I can't speak more highly of Avidien in this regard. The instrument is very very small; able to easily fit on the benchtop. Since purchasing, we have come up with many more uses for the instrument than we previously thought of. It makes for an excellent purchase!

Analyze functional antibodies in human serum

Amazing instrument especially with the improved tips. Easy to use with one touch ipad control; small footprint fits inside BSC easily; precise and reproducible; excellence service and after sales care just a phone call away. Both Rich and Brian are extremely responsive to any questions you might have. Thanks to both for delivering these instrument in person to expedite the installation. You rock!

Enzyme assay

Consistently accurate and easy to use. The tip racks are essentially flawless and high quality. My team loves it too.

Easy to use, small footprint, great service.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

High throughput screening

We purchased the Avidien MicroPro to use in medium throughput work, particularly in anaerobic chambers or lab spaces where an investment in higher level automation was not yet needed. The Avidien MicroPro is easy to program, easy to use and, crucially, does not drop tips like the Liquidator does. It also has a small footprint, which makes it great for use in anaerobic chambers. The Avidien sales and technical support staff have also been very responsive and fantastic to work with.
