Gilson's New Application-Configured PIPETMAX® Systems

Gilson, a renowned name in liquid handling solutions, has recently introduced its new application-configured PIPETMAX® systems, which are set to revolutionize laboratory automation. These systems are tailored for applications like quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS), and various plate-based bioassays. With an emphasis on providing a seamless experience, Gilson aims to facilitate the automation journey for laboratories, reducing the variability associated with manual processes and enhancing scalability for routine applications.

A User-Centric Approach

Instead of open-ended programming, Gilson's new PIPETMAX® configurations are built around specific workflows, simplifying the adoption of automation technology in lab settings. Each setup comes equipped with optimized hardware, intuitive software guides, and comprehensive onboarding support, allowing teams to transition to automated procedures confidently from day one.

The systems are available in two models: the established PIPETMAX® 268 and the more spacious PIPETMAX® 278. While the 268 serves as a compact liquid handling solution, the 278 offers increased deck capacity and flexibility, catering to higher throughput needs. This dual-platform availability enables labs to select the scale that best suits their operational requirements without changes in consumables or software.

Enhancing Lab Efficiency

The introduction of these application-configured systems aims to eliminate the challenges labs often face with automation. As Dr. Jacqueline Rippington, Automation Product Marketing Manager at Gilson, noted, “With these configurations, we wanted to remove the guesswork.” By focusing directly on practical workflows including qPCR preparation, NGS library cleanup, AMPure® XP cleanup methods, ELISAs, IC₅₀ assays, and other plate-based tasks, Gilson provides a clear path for labs looking to embrace automation.

Key features of the PIPETMAX® systems include:

• - Validated Methods: Ready-to-use protocols that significantly cut down setup times while ensuring reproducible results.
• - Guided Software Assistants: User-friendly workflow wizards designed to simplify complex procedures and make onboarding more effortless.
• - Scalability: Configurations that align with each application's throughput, complexity, and flexibility demands.
• - Expert Support: Onboarding and assistance from Gilson's knowledgeable scientific teams to ensure smooth implementation.

Supporting the Scientific Community

With a legacy spanning over 50 years in liquid handling, Gilson continues to lead with innovative solutions that cater to the scientific community's evolving needs. From its iconic PIPETMAN pipettes to automated systems, the company commits to empowering researchers with reliable tools that aid in producing accurate results.
