Pipettes endorsed by ergonomics champion
iHEALTH 360, a leading US company specialising in ergonomics and injury-prevention solutions, has endorsed the pipetting solutions offered by Integra Biosciences as an effective way to help laboratory personnel avoid musculoskeletal disorders. Renowned for its commitment to workplace health and safety, iHEALTH 360 focuses on helping employers address ergonomic challenges to ensure employee well-being throughout their careers, ultimately enhancing productivity.
Manual pipetting is a vital yet repetitive task in the life sciences, often leading to fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis over time. These conditions can significantly hinder work performance and result in extended sick leave, creating substantial costs for employers. LaNiesha Littleton, CEO of iHEALTH 360, highlighted the industry’s challenges: “Manual pipetting requires precision and endurance, which can cause cumulative strain, especially when lab staff have to repeatedly fill 96- well plates multiple times a day, five days a week. Whenever possible, we recommend automating these manual processes to reduce user strain and increase throughput. However, when budgets don’t allow for full automation, it’s crucial to select pipettes designed with ergonomics in mind. Integra’s pipetting robots, along with their electronic and manual pipettes, are designed with user comfort as a priority. They feature quick set dials for volume adjustment, ergonomic grips that contour to the hand, and balanced weight distribution. Additionally, these instruments offer low pipetting forces and easy tip ejection, which significantly reduce strain on the user’s hands. Integra’s electronic pipettes go a step further, with a one-button plunger for minimal-force aspiration and dispensing, and a user-friendly thumbwheel design for easy access to pipette settings.”
Tom Bentivegna, Group Product Manager at Integra, added: “At Integra, our primary focus is on the user experience, and all our pipettes are designed to make liquid handling tasks as easy and comfortable as possible. We’re thrilled that the ergonomics experts at iHEALTH 360 recognise the value our products bring to their customers. We hope our efforts will continue to support laboratory professionals worldwide in conducting groundbreaking science safely and efficiently.”
