Gilson Celebrates 40 Years of PIPETMAN®

A milestone is fast approaching for Gilson, Inc., as it celebrates 40 years of delivering innovation.  Four decades ago, the PIPETMAN pipette was created as the first adjustable volume pipette on the market with its patented volumeter registered in 1972.  Today, it is still one of the most popular pipettes in labs worldwide.  Since then, Gilson has focused on launching new, innovative products based around the reputable PIPETMAN.

In honor of its anniversary, Gilson will be hosting celebrations worldwide to thank customers for their continued support and will be raffling off special anniversary items throughout the next three months including limited edition PIPETMAN. 

Gilson, Inc., established in the 1950s as Gilson Medical Electronics (GME) Co. in Middleton, WI, was founded by the late Dr. Warren Gilson and originally produced instruments ranging from photographic chart recorders for cardiac catheterization to metal detectors for locating shrapnel. Having designed a device in the 1940s to measure respiratory volumes in a circular format with a digital readout, Gilson combined this with the features and the engineering of a German-made pipette to invent a pipette with a digital readout and counter wheels. It was compact and cheap to make. Importantly, it dispensed accurate volumes of liquid. British scientists were first introduced to PIPETMAN in 1971 and in 1972 the PIPETMAN Classic was launched.

CONGRATULATIONS to Anthony Sutter of Proteos, Inc.!

In October, Gilson offered a chance to register on www.PipetmanL.com to win a free PIPETMAN® L mechanical pipette.  The newest in the PIPETMAN family, PIPETMAN L was created based on ergonomics, comfort and traceability research.  It combines the PIPETMAN Classic™ legendary robustness, a newly designed body, and state-of-the-art internal mechanism for secure locking of the volume.   This unique patented volume locking system fully disconnects the operating rod from the counter assembly during pipetting phases so once locked into pace (with just a push of the thumbwheel!), the volume will not be accidentally changed.

Anthony Sutter, Cell Biology Scientist with Proteos, was presented with his free PIPETMAN P100L, by Ryan Luther Gilson Sales & Service Representative, last month.  Proteos is a small company housed in the Southwest Michigan Innovation Center in Kalamazoo, MI.  The company specializes in protein production, expression and purification.  The new Gilson PIPETMAN was a much appreciated addition to his lab and will be used in several techniques they employ:

·         Preparing and loading samples to run SDS-PAGE/Western blot

·         Preparing samples for plate based protein assays (96-well)

·         Performing mammalian and insect cell transfections

Thank you to everyone who registered on www.PipetmanL.com for the chance to win the free PIPETMAN L.  Register for our bi-monthly newsletters for more opportunities to win PIPETMAN products from Gilson by clicking here.

GILSON ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE N-GLYCAN TOOLKITs

Gilson, Inc. is proud to announce the release of an innovative and ’manually automated’ TOOLKIT to change the historically tedious and labor intensive process of N-Glycan analysis.  The Gilson TOOLKITs use the rapid N-Glycan sample preparation GlykoPrep™ Kit from ProZyme to provide an even more efficient and streamlined process with consistently reproducible results from the electronically tracked protocol. 

The hassle of manually tracking each step in a paper booklet is eliminated.  Instead, the Gilson SD TOOLKIT and Gilson MD TOOLKIT utilize the tracking functionality of the duo-plate TRACKMAN™ pipetting tracker to guide glycobiologists through each and every step within the GlykoPrep protocol using text screens and lighted wells.  The use of the Gilson TOOLKITs eliminates the risk of errors caused by routine distractions.   Further increases in efficiency are directly related to letting the TRACKMAN keep track of which cartridges are loaded and processed, and using the foot pedal to advance the TRACKMAN protocol frees both hands, allowing consistent N-Glycan sample preparation in less than 3 hours. 

“Confidence that the sample data is reliable was one of our main goals for the Gilson TOOLKITs.  Distractions, pipetting variability, training new glycobiologists, and laboratory documentation are no longer concerns when using the manually automated Gilson TOOLKITs,” explains Toni Hofhine, Director-Gilson Knowledge Center.  Day-to-day variation is significantly reduced with the use of the Gilson PIPETMAN disposable tips on either the PIPETMAN™ M or PIPETMAN™ Neo Multichannel pipettes to transfer samples into the AssayMAP® cartridges that are used throughout the protocol.  Currently available only to customers residing in the United States, the Gilson TOOLKIT simplifies the science of N-GLYCAN sample preparation and allows for ease in transitioning to a higher throughput per day; from 1 to 24 samples.

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.

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!
