for the original, and valuable reagents and unwanted mixing between neighboring wells due to spill-over when filling small multiwell plates.”
Ergonomics is also a priority for Albert and his team: “We often spend hours at the bench pipetting, so having equipment that makes the process more comfortable and efficient is essential for reducing our mental and physical fatigue. The PIPETBOY GENIUS is incredibly light, and I’m impressed that INTEGRA managed to fit all its advanced features into such a compact design. The company’s engineers really took the time to talk with people who work with cell cultures and observe what we actually need. It has substantially improved our workflow and become popular across the cell culture labs. I’d recommend it to anyone in the field,” Albert concluded.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in munich, Germany, are streamlining their cell culture workflows with the aid of four INTEGRA Biosciences PIPETBOY GENIUS serological pipet controllers. These devices offer fast and precise serological pipetting, and their aliquoting function enhances user comfort during repetitive tasks.
The Institute’s Biochemistry department, staffed by approximately 35 individuals, with a third dedicated to two cell culture labs, recently adopted the PIPETBOY GENIUS controllers to improve the accuracy, precision, and speed of their liquid handling. Laboratory technician Albert Ries highlighted the benefits of the new repeat dispense function, which works in conjunction with INTEGRA serological pipets.
“We really appreciate the repeat dispensing function, which we’ve found incredibly useful; it’s so convenient to simply press a button and dispense multiple aliquots from a single aspiration.We don’t have to read the volume every time, and filling wells is fast and accurate,” Ries explained. “Of the many pipetting aids I’ve worked with, PIPETBOY GENIUS controllers are the most sensitive to variations in finger pressure, giving us extremely fine control over dispensing speeds and liquid flow. This is very helpful for avoiding damage to delicate cell monolayers or loss of valuable reagents and unwanted mixing between neighboring wells due to spill-over when filling small multiwell plates.”
Ries also emphasized the importance of ergonomics for his team. “We often spend hours at the bench pipetting, so having equipment that makes the process more comfortable and efficient is essential for reducing our mental and physical fatigue.
