Master Sample Prep in 384 Well Plates with Picus® 2 Pipettes | Application Guide
Authors: Sandra Söderholm, Joni Ake | Last updated: September 2024
Overview
The popularity of high throughput applications means more scientists are using 384-well plates (384WPs) on a routine basis. However, sample preparation in 384WPs using a mechanical pipette is laborious and time consuming. Importantly, prolonged manual pipetting can cause user fatigue, which increases errors and pipetting variance. While automation addresses these challenges, the upfront cost of implementing such systems is beyond the scope and budget of most laboratories. Automation is also not amenable to cell culture and workflows that include centrifugation steps, such as the preparation of assay plates.
Electronic pipettes, like Picus® 2, are an alternative solution that simplify sample preparation workflows, with increased speed and accuracy.
Read our extensive guide to learn what practical actions you should take to make your experiments more reproducible and how electronic pipettes can help you.
