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

Excellent purchase! This instrument is now integral to our workflows.
Rating: 5.0

  • 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!"

Easy to use, small footprint, great service.
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."

A huge timesaver!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Molecular biology, microbiology, any wet bench work

"We use this for pretty much any application where we use 96-well plates and previously used a multichannel. If the manipulation is being done to every well on the plate, the Avidien is extremely easy to use for aspirating, dispensing, mixing, etc. You can pre program the heights that the head of the device should go to, which makes it simple to use for mass amounts of plates. We have multiple Avidiens now because they're so popular in the lab, and can be used both aerobically and anaerobically (can fit into our glove box pass through). We've found the pipette to be reliable for reproducible results as long as you stay within the recommended volume range (which is reasonable for most protocols). Occasionally we get a faulty tip cartridge where one or a few tips are misformed, but Avidien always replaces those free of charge for us. The filter tips also have a color indicator in the filter for when liquid is absorbed, so it's easy to see when something's gone awry. Whenever we've needed service, Avidien's been very responsive and come on site to fix the problem most times. Occasionally, the equipment has to be sent off site briefly for more extensive repairs. Would highly recommend this portable pipette!"

Reliable, easy to use, flexible, versatile, great service, excellent value.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:In vitro whole blood assay involving stimulation, RBC lysis and staining for flow cytometry

"I find MicroPro 96/384 very easy to use. The machine is well built and very reliable. The volume transfer is very accurate. The feature I like the most is the ease, flexibility and versatility of the programming that any types of liquid transfer possible. It saves me time and produces more accurate results. They also provide excellent after sales services. The only limit is the max volume of 300 uL. I hope they develop a model that can handle larger volume (up to 1 mL)."

Fantastic ease of use and has been a tremendous help for optimization of experiments.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Custom experiments for development of new a new sequencing assay

"We were planning to use a Tecan robot to set up 96-well experiments. However, the Tecan system was not easy to use as we had to schedule time for use and after hours were not supported. Having the avidien microPro in the lab conferred great flexibility. It is easy to program and run and has never caused any kind of malfunction over the course of last two years. Very happy with the product. More importantly, the service provided by the sales team has been fantastic. Rich has been always available despite being the President of the company. I caused a small problem by shutting down the ipad while it was in simulation mode and they arrived in the lab within two hours and fixed it. Never have I seen such commitment from manufacturer. I will not hesitate to buy any products from Avidien in future."

Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Next generation sequencing library preperation

"The iPad makes programing very easy compared to other similar equipment. The tips are easy to load and the tip design prevents any loose tips. It would be a little more versatile if the head could raise a little higher but if you are using mostly 96/384 well plates the instrument is great!"

Great instrument, decreasing my hands-on time & increasing assay reproducibility.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Sample dilutions and plate transfers for MesoScale discovery assays

"The MicroPro has become essential to my work-flow, decreasing my hands-on time & increasing assay reproducibility. It is a great instrument, easy to use, easy to program for many different applications. I like that the programs are saved for future use and that the program generates prompts for operating in a step wise fashion, ensuring that I don't forget a step in my process. I like that the tips come attached together in a big block for easy loading without worries about tips dropping.I also like that the MicroPro has such a small footprint and is easy to move into and out of a tissue culture hood for work under sterile conditions."

Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Yeast two-hybrid screening (PCR reactions, yeast manipulation, luciferase assays)

"Our lab uses this instrument to help process our yeast two-hybrid interactions. Since our work is in 96-well format, this instrument has been extremely helpful for serial dilutions and follow-up assays - it really speeds up the work flow! The application is easy to use and gives the user a lot of freedom for their needs. Since the purchase of our instrument, my experience with the Avidien team has been great. They have been very responsive to any questions or concerns regarding our MicroPro. I'm glad we have this instrument in our lab."
