The most ergonomic pipettes I have ever used
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
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.

I highly recommend these pipettes over the standard lab pipettes.
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.

Use these daily
Micro lab
We use these in our lab on a daily basis. We have many of them and they are very reliable. When they do break they are relatively inexpensive to send out for repair.

Best ergonomic pipettes on the market.
Microbiology
Been using these for 15 years; this is the only design that alleviates RSI and carpal tunnel from pipetting for me. There is barely any force required to depress the plunger, and the preset electronic volumes mean that you don't have to rapidly twist dials to reset the volume.

Great value for money and quality.
Bio analytical
The pipette are ergonomic, less strain on the hand and very useful for a fast-paced lab environment. The pipettes passes quality all the time and they meet ISO calibration standard in their calibration.

Ergonomic pipette but not very durable
Trace Metals
We purchased 7 of these pipettes and one of them was always being sent back in for repairs. We need all of them working and do not have time for the shipping and repair.

How to choose the right pipette for less pain
In this poster, VistaLab Technologies highlights the common causes of pipetting pain and how to avoid it with proper pipetting posture.
RSI and you: Is your science career at risk from pipetting?
When thinking about ergonomic and pain issues in the lab, is there anything more relevant than pipetting problems, particularly for those labs invested heavily in manual liquid handling and cell culture? Simply put, repetitive motion and hand strain are serious issues. In addition to risk of RSI, accuracy and precision can be compromised and lab productivity can suffer as a result.
VistaLab Ovation Ergonomic Pipettes
VistaLab set out to address the #1 cause of pain and discomfort in the laboratory - pipetting. After a few years of market research and assembling a team of ergonomists, followed by another few years of product development, the result: Ovation! The patented design is unlike any other pipette and is truly ergonomic. The Adjustable , was the first of many Ovation pipettes. Since then, the Ovation line has expanded to include a full range of mechanical and electronic, single and multi-channel models.
Ovation Pipettes: A New Design for Ergonomic Dispensing
In this SelectScience.tv interview at AACR 2011, VistaLab demonstrate the Ovation pipette line. The range includes manual, electronic, fixed or adjustable volume, and single or multi-channel options. The unique shape and ergonomic design improve the user’s posture whilst pipetting. Other features include a digital display, multi-dispense options, a precise, motor driven volume setting with 5 “one button” pre-sets and an easy tip acquisition and discard mechanism.
