INTEGRA Biosciences has developed the PIPETBOY GENIUS serological pipet controller, including an aliquoting functionality to prevent repetitive strain injuries and reduce eye and muscle fatigue during repetitive pipetting tasks. This lightweight, ergonomic solution is designed to support healthier, more productive workflows, and has recently been evaluated against a standard serological pipet controller with impressive results.

Serological pipetting with traditional pipet controllers requires users to read volume graduations in awkward positions over extended time periods, while also handling large liquid volumes. Users must either hold the pipet and labware at eye level – leading to arm, wrist and hand fatigue – or bend forward into an unnatural posture, causing back and neck pain. This physical discomfort, together with eye strain from constantly reading graduations, makes it difficult to maintain focus and precision while pipetting. Ergonomic liquid handling tools are therefore essential to reduce physical strain and improve efficiency in the lab.

INTEGRA developed the PIPETBOY GENIUS to address these common ergonomic issues by making serological pipetting effortless for lab staff. When used in combination with INTEGRA serological pipets, the lightweight controller offers repeat dispensing capabilities that eliminate the need to constantly monitor graduations, and its user-friendly design naturally aligns with the operator’s posture, reducing neck and arm strain during prolonged use. The device's one-click dispensing button also enhances pipetting reproducibility and productivity. A recent study compared the performance of the PIPETBOY GENIUS to a standard serological pipet controller, demonstrating its precision and efficiency benefits.
