Pitfalls of pipetting posture

5 Jul 2020

Ergonomics is the study of how best to establish a comfortable, safe, and productive working environment. Given that pipettes have been a reliable main staple of scientific research for 63 years, many scientists do not give this everyday lab tool a second thought. However, pipetting ergonomics can have a profound effect on scientists’ health and their experimental success.
