As one of the most frequently used instruments in the laboratory, pipettes must provide consistently accurate results but they also need to be comfortable to use, and provide you with the features you need. ErgoOne pipettes combine researcher-requested features with the latest ergonomic principles to provide optimum performance.

Pipetting Ergonomics
Hours can be spent pipetting each day and this can lead to serious repetitive strain injuries (RSI) if precautions are not taken. That is why organising your bench space and working practices, as well as using a lightweight and comfortable pipette is so important. Your bench should be laid out in three zones, with items in constant use such as pipettes and tips, closest to you, items such as reagents that will be used a few times throughout the day at intermediate distance, and items such as gloves or tubes that are used infrequently at the furthest distance. Adjust your chair to a height that is comfortable to you; you should be able to pipette comfortably with your elbow resting on the bench. It is also important to take frequent short breaks to help avoid fatigue and prevent RSI. Last but not least, a lightweight pipette that is comfortable to hold in the hand is essential.

Lightweight and comfortable to use, ErgoOne’s chemically-resistant handle is contoured to fit into the hand. The ergonomically designed finger rest ensures comfortable use and helps to balance the pipette perfectly in your hand. The volume display is positioned so it is always visible and a short piston stroke helps prevent thumb injuries from overstretching.

Accuracy & Precision
Every day, pipettes are confronted with multiple tasks that must be exact and precise. Reliability is key in the lab and your pipette must be trusted to perform well, day in and day out. ErgoOne gives you accuracy and precision you can trust, with a stylish look and a comfortable feel that you’ll love. Available in single, 8- and 12-channel models, ErgoOne pipettes can be trusted to provide accurate and precise pipetting all day, every day. ErgoOne pipettes are designed to fit all popular pipette tips without any loss of accuracy or precision – or use with STARLAB’s TipOne pipette tips for the perfect pipetting partnership.
