It is also common knowledge that pipetting regularly increases the risk of developing Repetitive Strain Injuries. By applying Good Pipetting Practice in your lab you can help to prevent these risks.

One way to help reduce the repetition of pipetting is to simply take frequent breaks every 20 or 30 minutes to stretch your shoulders, arms and hands. Especially if you spend your coffee and lunch breaks texting on your phone – your thumbs will never get a break!

To help you with your daily stretches Anachem are offering you this easy & quick routine for your hands, arms, and shoulders. It's been put together by stretching authority Bob Anderson and by combining it with Anachem's Good Pipetting Posture poster which shows you the right and wrong ways to sit or stand when pipetting you'll soon be shaking off the stiffness and stresses that accumulate after long hours at the lab bench.
