2011 Fall Semester Golden PIPETMAN® Award



Jeffrey Hall



Gilson® is proud to announce Jeffrey Hall as the 2011 Golden PIPETMAN® Award Winner!  Hall received his Bachelor of Science at Oregon State University in 2007 and is currently working on his thesis regarding staphylococcal genetics through the University of Minnesota Microbiology Immunology and Cancer Biology Program (MICaB). 

The Golden PIPETMAN is an award given to an outstanding graduate student in the MICaB Program through the University of Minnesota.  Each semester a student that shows great leadership skills and has contributed to the excellence of the MICaB program in the form of publications, outside funding or service is chosen.

The recipient receives a “golden” PIPETMAN trophy that is presented by the MICaB program, as well as a PIPETMAN® Neo Starter Kit that is donated by Gilson.  The PIPETMAN Neo Starter Kit contains three PIPETMAN® Neo pipettes, plus boxes of certified-quality PIPETMAN tips and useful accessories – great for someone starting post-graduate school.

“My lab currently uses Gilson PIPETMAN and they are sturdy equipment. I’m excited to have a brand new set to use to continue my research!” Hall stated.  “I appreciate Gilson continuing to support the Golden PIPETMAN Award...it is something the students look forward to being nominated for.  Plus everyone loves a new set of PIPETMAN.”

Go Green with Gilson!

If your lab is already using Gilson pipettes and tips, you've already made efforts to go green! With regular maintenance and calibration, a PIPETMAN can retain its accuracy and precision for more than 10 years!

Pipettes are one of the most extensively used pieces of equipment in the laboratory and are subject to many aggressions, such as falls, intensive handling, corrosive liquids, and more, which can result in damage that is barely visible and may not be discovered unless regular service is carried out. Rather than throwing out aging pipettes, Gilson's Service Center of Excellence can extend the life of your pipettes - saving your lab time and money!

If you're not already using DIAMOND Tips with your pipettes, the time is now! Go Green with a TOWERPACK! Towerpack is an innovative, quick, and easy refill system for Diamond Tips. Use 60% less space on your laboratory bench and 70% less plastic. The DIAMOND Tips TOWERPACK is also 100% recyclable!
