1. QC Handheld Pipetting iTrack Pipette Tracking System

2. Source of Pipetting errors Mechanical failure - calibration Operator technique Pipette into wrong well / tube Pipette too fast Angled pipetting Do you have a QC procedure to prevent operator errors?

3. Pipetting location detected by optical sensors iTrack – Tablet Powered Smart Pipetting Assistant Pipetted wells illuminated by the tablet Pipetting steps recorded in a log file Auto-pilot mode  Reduce handheld pipetting error and user stress  Troubleshoot and QC pipetting with the log files

4.  Super fast pipetting may cause mistakes and inaccurate pipetting  iTrack can help pace the pipetting speed as it needs 0.5 - 3 seconds to respond (sensitivity adjustable) Pace Pipetting Speed

5.  Upright pipetting is recommended for better accuracy  Epstein, D., et al. Eliminating Sources of Pipetting Error in the Forensic Laboratory.
