Overview

Manual pipetting is a fundamental lab skill. Even in labs where automation is present, pipettes are still critical for certain tasks — often ones that are either too routine or too dynamic to automate. See how Gilson’s TRACKMAN® Connected pipetting platform addresses this gap, providing the reliability, traceability, and reproducibility expected of automation — all in a simple, fast platform that fits in a backpack.

Areas covered

Digitalization, Internet of Things, Sample Prep, Experiment Workflow, Traceability, Reproducibility, Ease of Use, Connected Lab, Pipetting

Who should benefit

Lab researchers and lab managers from private industries (pharma, biotechs, CRO, agro/food/cosmetic labs) and public organizations (institutes, research labs)

Session learnings

Understand key criteria for why workflows are not automated
Identify tasks in your workflow that could benefit from improved reliability, traceability, and reproducibility
Learn how Gilson’s connected platform can fill these gaps, more affordably, and in a more accessible way than robotic automation.
