Accuracy and precision checks for liquid handlers
The MVS has been a great asset to my team's measurement capabilities for the past 10 years. We just recently purchased the newest version of the MVS. We had a lengthy delay in our PO process and Nate the Artel Account manager has been very understanding and has helped us the entire way. The system makes accuracy and precision testing for liquid dispensing very efficient. When we need additional supplies or support questions the Artel staff has always been top tier. We plan to try the new Artelware software and move away from the older Datamanger software.

Very satisfied and wished this technology was available years ago
Pipette calibration verification
The MVS had made verifications so much more efficient. It also enabled us to detect and issue with one of our instrument onboard pipetting devices. The customer service is great and using this system makes accreditation assessments much easier!

Time and cost saving in the liquid class optimization
optimize the liquid transfer accuracy and consistency across multiple liquid handling systems in a c
The manual guide of the MVS data manager software is well written and easy to follow. Without hands-on training, I can start and use the system for the volume verification setup . There are also webinars and white papers available on the Artel web page. After sales care, the application scientist is easy to work with, knowledgable about interpreting test data and giving advise, and flexible to help onsite if needed. I would recommend this Artel product because it saves time and material cost. Most important is having a standard method to calibrate different pipettes and optimize liquid class on automated liquid handlers while managing the sources of variability systematically.

Good instrument.
Verification of liquid handlers.
The MVS is really helpful in verifying the performance of our liquid handlers. It is a very viable instrument.

Great liquid class setup solution with quality compliance in mind.
NGS and qPCR
The product is accurate and reliable. With the addition of the pre-owned models of MVS readers, it also becomes affordable. The expansion of the dye solutions to include MasterMix and Serum along with their original aqueous offering makes Artel a definitive liquid class setup solution. The FSE performing setup and the account manager were on-time, responsive, and supportive during install and (most importantly) afterwards.

Great results, but nearly impossible to streamline
pipette calibration
I was very concerned when I learned how expensive the calibration cartridge was and that it only lasted approximately a year. Also the software is too rigid. In order to use this instrument, there is precise pipetting that is required and after the plate is created a substantial amount of time is required to input the plate information and then it must be run in an extremely precise and correct series of clicking of appropriate keys in the appropriate order. It is a 2 person job and most can not be trained to use it properly. I can use it but each quarter, I almost have to relearn it because it is not intuitive.

Great way to do QC on liquid handlers.
Automated Liquid Handlers
The Artel kit is easy to use, gives accurate and reliable results. It's a great way to quickly determine the functioning of the automation systems that we install and maintain.

MVS system has been vital to our lab operations.
Routine high-throughput liquid handler qc, liquid handler tip lot qc, liquid handler calibration
The MVS system is extremely useful for periodic performance QC testing of high-throughput liquid handlers, high-throughput liquid handler calibration, and various liquid handler/single channel pipette tip type/lot QC. The MVS system requires minimal maintenance and MVS manager software is intuitive to use and flexible to set up various plate layouts to meet user’s need. The customer service is very responsive and helpful. They provide a notification for calibrator plate re-certification annually and all communications during the re-certification service has been excellent. Also, MVS solution orders have been processed in a timely manner, even during the pandemic related global supply chain issue periods.

Artel has worked out charm
Pipette Validation
Artel has worked out mathematics and process really well for the end user to perform pipette validation with basic knowledge. The whole process of testing a pipette for accuracy from start to finish is painless and easy even for a beginner/non-technically savvy person. Additionally, Artel shines at their after sales services and they make sure to bring all the resources to answer your questions. We had several concerns about the process and limitations of the MVS system specifications where we may fail meeting our standards and the scientific team was very apt to resolve the questions. Another area where I highly recommend Artel is the use of their PCRMix and SerumSub liquids. These are the mastermix and serum mimic liquids for pipette validation and can be cost effective alternative to the original liquids. The only con I felt was sales representative kept on constantly inquiring our need for over the year which may have been fair on the marketing part but irritating at times. Overall, the initial investment in Artel may not be the choice for every company but they are capable of delivering high returns in long run depending on yhe I industry you serve. the MVS would save a lot of money in automation processes and the Artel family will always make you feel contained. They are good people serving more or less a perfect product.
