Independently Verified Precision

Precise results drive the best science. That’s why we recently partnered with Artel Technology to quantify the microPro 300’s pipetting accuracy across three instruments. We’re delighted by the results! Even at the microPro’s lowest volume, accuracy was better than we advertise. Read our blog post to learn about the verification process and results.

MicroPro in the Lab: Meet the Avidien Giveaway Winner!

MIT researcher, Dr. Tami Lieberman, is the winner of Avidien’s microPro giveaway contest! In 2019, participants submitted entries in hopes of winning a free microPro for their lab. The Lieberman lab already owns a microPro 300 that is heavily used in their human microbiome research. We interviewed Dr. Lieberman about her research and how the microPro supports her lab’s work.

A Protocol for Magnetic Bead-Based Experiments

Magnetic beads for biological research applications have transformed many common laboratory protocols for the better. However, the success of bead protocols depends heavily on the effectiveness of bead cleanup steps. Avidien and Mount Sinai cancer researchers have collaborated to develop a semi-automated bead cleanup protocol using the microPro 300 for more efficient and effective cleanups.

Eliminating Common Pipetting Errors for Repeatable Results

Pipetting errors are a common hazard of lab work that contribute to variation within and between experiments. Most handheld pipettors are air displacement pipettors. Air displacement can be a highly precise method of liquid handling. However, factors that impact air pressure or pipette tip function can lead to volume errors. Learn how you can maintain high levels of consistency in your experiments.

Using the microPro 300 to Save Time and Increase Consistency During Cell Culture Media Changes

Tissue culture is a common component of many biological research programs that demands time, experience, and skill to carry out. Researchers often maintain small batch cell lines in 96 well plates with growth media. Cells that are being grown for more than a few days require regular media changes to replenish nutrients and maintain the correct pH for optimal cell health.
