| Traditional Pipetting is linked to tired hands and repetitive strain injuries Pipetting is the most repetitive task in many laboratories • Many researchers commonly pipette 2 to 4 hours a day Pipetting is a high-force activity • Traditional plunger forces may exceed 4 kg force • Traditional tip ejection forces may exceed 4 kg force Many researchers suffer from tired hands, leading to: • reduced pipetting accuracy • decreased productivity • repetitive strain injuries |
