Artel will be holding Pipetting Olympics competitions in labs across the country as part of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week on 24-30 April.
During this competition, lab technologists - as individuals and teams - will have a chance to test their pipetting skills and win gold, silver and bronze medals for precise liquid dispensing.
Participating technicians will test their pipetting skills in their own laboratories using the Artel PCS Pipette Calibration System, which enables labs to rapidly assess, record and compile the performance of the operator as well as the pipette.
With a 0.07 per cent coefficient of variation (CV) precision score, Chris was one of the winners of the Artel Pipetting Olympics at Pittcon 2011.
In addition to awarding medals during Lab Week, Artel will provide a series of tips to help coach participants on proper pipetting technique.
At the end of Lab Week, each lab will submit its scores to Artel for evaluation.
Winners will be announced on 30 May 2011.
