Just when you think you know it all about hand-held pipettes - BOOM! This training truly dials in your technique and even highlights where your technique fails you in the lab! I highly recommend this course!

Vince Ranieri

“One of the best technical trainings I have ever had. The entire experience from the moment I reached out, to the coordination of the training, to the equipment set up, to the training itself has been a joy. The knowledge and skills my entire team gained will not only improve the accuracy of our pipetting but also contribute to the overall quality and reliability of our laboratory results.”
