PIPETMAN® M Multichannel - Motorized Pipetting...Multiplied!

Gilson, Inc. has announced the release of the PIPETMAN® M Multichannel, the new electronic and motorized extension of the PIPETMAN M family of pipettes and the latest evolution of the Gilson PIPETMAN.

This pipette combines the PIPETMAN M single channel’s motorized functionality and ease of use with the PIPETMAN Neo Multichannel’s increased throughput capability. The new PIPETMAN M Multichannel was designed specifically for use with 96- and 384-well microplates and is available in 8 and 12 channels for 2 volume ranges: 1-20 µL and 20-200 µL.

Designed with both experienced and inexperienced users in mind, PIPETMAN M is intuitive, requires no learning curve to master, and simplifies daily work. Always operational, the PIPETMAN M Multichannel saves you time as it can be used while charging! Like the PIPETMAN Neo Multichannel, the PIPETMAN M Multichannel utilizes a Gilson Trident and unique tip spacer to distribute ejection forces evenly over each tip, reducing the tip ejection forces. The motorized piston virtually eliminates pipetting variability among users and the adjustable piston speed allows users to pipette denser samples with accuracy and confidence.

PIPETMAN M Multichannel offers a patented piston drive mechanism that guarantees equal pressure and consistent volume levels across all channels when aspirating and dispensing. Similar to the PIPETMAN M single channel, the PIPETMAN M Multichannel boasts four essential pipetting modes, reverse, mix, repetitive and pipetting, and presents the same high reproducibility, accuracy and precision as the original Gilson PIPETMAN.

Like other PIPETMAN families, the PIPETMAN M Multichannel features a unique tip holder design allowing a snug fit of most leading brands, so there is no need for a dedicated tip brand. Additional GLP features include a lockable volume, traceable serial number, color coded push-buttons for easy identification and service alert reminders. Gilson also offers a Power Carrousel for charging up to 5 pipettes as an accessory for both Single and Multichannel PIPETMAN M models.

2010 National Sales Meeting

Gilson Manual Liquid Handling (MLH) Department recently held their 2010 National Sales Meeting. Every year Gilson PIPETMAN Sales and Service Representatives come to Gilson, Inc. headquarters in Middleton, WI to attend. Key discussion at this meeting focused on two new Gilson PIPETMAN products.

TRACKMAN™ and PIPETMAN® M were the new featured products of the sales meeting this year. TRACKMAN, a duo-plate pipetting tracker for use with 96 and 384 well microplates, was released November 2009. The TRACKMAN lights the way as you pipette to ensure you do not lose track of where you are.

PIPETMAN M was released in April 2010. PIPETMAN M is as simple as the PIPETMAN® P, with enhanced ergonomic features and fully motorized user-friendly functionality. PIPETMAN® M is the first of its kind with expanded flexibility, several GLP features and a universal tip holder.

Are you Motonomic??? - Discover Pipetman M

Gilson is proud to announce the release of Pipetman® M, a new family of pipettes and the latest evolution of the Gilson Pipetman®, the world’s pipetting standard for over 35 years. Lightweight and extremely comfortable, Pipetman M is fully motorized and requires virtually zero pipetting force. Pipetman M looks, performs, and feels like the renowned original Pipetman, and offers advanced ergonomic features and enhanced user-friendly functionality. Designed with both experienced and inexperienced users in mind, Pipetman M is extremely intuitive, requires no learning curve to master, and is offered at a price that is less than most users would expect to pay for a motorized pipette.

Boasting four essential pipetting modes, including reverse, mix, repetitive and pipetting, Pipetman M offers the same high reproducibility, accuracy and precision that users expect from Gilson pipette products. “The development of Pipetman M was done with the help of our customers.” says Dr. Robert Gilson, president of Gilson, Inc. “Our goal was to design a highly ergonomic pipette that greatly reduces the pipetting forces needed to aspirate and dispense, that consistently produces trusted results, and that is as easy to use as Pipetman.” Dr. Gilson went on to add “It was also very important to our customers that they not have to change how they pipette. We’re proud to say that Pipetman M is the result of this collaboration.”

Pipetman M bears all the hallmarks of the original Gilson Pipetman: incredible robustness, durability, and longevity coupled with the accuracy, precision and a level of comfort that is unmatched by any pipette on the market today. The motorized piston of Pipetman M virtually eliminates pipetting variability among users and because the speed of the piston is adjustable, users can pipette denser samples with accuracy and confidence. GLP features of Pipetman M include a lockable volume, service alert reminders and color-coded push-button that correspond to matching Gilson tip packaging. Like Pipetman P, Pipetman M is fitted with a universal tip holder that allows for a secure fit of most brands of tips, so there’s no need for a dedicated tip brand. Four models cover the range of 0.5µL to 1000µL.
