Get better data when you become a better pipette operator

Data quality starts the minute you pick up a pipette, but ensuring accurate and precise liquid transfer requires good technique. Designed to meet the needs of all laboratory personnel who use pipettes, this training overcomes the gaps by teaching:

• Pipette Mechanics
• Proper Technique
• How to Identify Causes of Pipette Failure
• How to Recognize Ergonomic Risk Factors and Sources of Stress.

Participants are awarded a Gold, Silver, or Bronze pipetting medal and an official Artel Certificate of Proficiency after passing both the written and practical exams.

“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.”
