Gilson's New Release: Trackman


Gilson Pipetman announces the release of Trackman, the duo-plate lighted pipetting tracker. Realizing the need for a product that would help eliminate errors when pipetting into microplates, Gilson designed the Trackman to provide a solution for scientists who want greater productivity and fewer mistakes.

Assay costs run into the hundreds of dollars per microplate, which makes Trackman especially relevant to today's researchers. Because Trackman keeps track of its user's progress, it makes it possible to multi-task with confidence. Whether you take a phone call, switch over an autoclave load, or tend to another experiment, Trackman tracks your place for you.

Trackman's innovative LED technology displays a series of lights underneath microplates. These lights appear in a pre-selected order that shows users where to pipette next. The user may program Trackman in a variety of patterns depending on the sequence necessary for the application.

Trackman holds two microplates, can accommodate either 96 or 384 well microplates, and may be used with either single or multichannel pipettes. Requiring only a small footprint on the lab bench, Trackman's long-lasting battery allows for cordless operation for up to eight hours. It also offers a timer function which makes it possible to operate hands-free. Optional accessories include a foot pedal and microtube holder.
