Andrew Alliance Pipette+ system launched

Robotics company Andrew Alliance S.A. and life science company Sartorius have announced their partnership in and launch of the Andrew Alliance Pipette+ system, which uniquely provides both full traceability and improved repeatability in manual pipetting for life science laboratories. The hardware is based on Sartorius’s Picus® range of award-winning, ergonomic electronic pipettes, and the software system uses Andrew Alliance’s free, browser-based intelligent software environment, OneLab.
Piero Zucchelli, chief executive officer and co-founder of Andrew Alliance, said: “Life science researchers should be confident that their often highly limited biological samples, costly reagents and time, are focused on progressing valuable research rather than unnecessarily repeating experiments. Andrew Alliance and Sartorius, the market leader in electronic pipettes, are addressing the manual liquid handling repeatability problem head on.”
Venkat Rao, head of Business Management, EMEA Life Science Research at Sartorius, said: “We worked together with Andrew Alliance to provide the scientific community with a next-generation solution for manual pipetting. We’ve been at the forefront of the electronic pipette revolution with our Picus pipette and are now connecting the world of pipetting to the world of computing. This represents a quantitative leap in the performance of electronic pipettes over that of mechanical devices.”
