Expert view: What role do connected pipettes play in the lab of the future?

Posted: 17 September 2019 | | No comments yet

As research moves forward at a rapid pace and data is being generated in larger quantities than ever before, one problem the scientific community faces is reproducibility.

Researchers often keep paper logs of their pipetting activities, but this can be difficult to sustain and details can end up getting summarised or missed. If a mistake occurs, such as pipetting in the wrong well without noticing and the results are published, other researchers who try to build on those results risk carrying that mistake forward. As each step builds on the next, accidental errors will compound, leading to greater losses caused by inaccurate data.

Gilson’s PIPETMAN® M Connected pipettes, when paired with TRACKMAN® Connected, apply Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that provide clarity to scientists’ pipetting activities. With their connected platform, researchers can enhance existing pipetting workflows and be guided through their protocol, helping them with the mundane steps of their research. The software automatically documents liquid handling activities in the background, providing researchers with a report of each action they take. This enables them to not only review past efforts as they plan for the future, but also facilitates collaboration.

Are you looking to optimise antibody leads in your drug discovery? Register for this webinar to find out how!

30 July 2025 | 10:00 AM BST | FREE Webinar

Join this webinar to hear from Dr. Lei Guo as she shares how early insights into liability, PK, stability, and manufacturability can help you optimise antibody leads in early drug discovery – and mitigate downstream risks later in development.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to assess key developability risks early
  • How in silico modelling and in vitro testing can be combined to predict CMC risks earlier in discovery stage
  • How micro-developability strategies are tailored for complex or novel formats
