Pipette Show

Pipette Show optimizes manual pipetting workflows for microplate-based experiments by generating optimized work plans and providing visual guidance to wells to reduce errors and improve precision.

Key Features:

• Optimized workflow generation: Generates optimized sequences of pipetting actions tailored to microplates to minimize manual steps and reduce human error.
• Work-plan builder: Constructs detailed work plans that specify pipetting sequences and assignments across multiple microplates and wells.
• Stepwise visual guidance: Provides step-by-step visual indications of target wells to support accurate manual pipetting.
• Error reduction and reproducibility: Aims to decrease pipetting mistakes and improve reproducibility and reliability of manual liquid-handling protocols.

Scientific Applications:

• Microplate-based assays: Supports manual pipetting workflows for experiments conducted on microplates and individual wells.
• Complex multi-plate protocols: Applies to protocols requiring precise liquid handling across multiple microplates and well layouts.
• Laboratory reproducibility: Enhances reproducibility and accuracy in life-science laboratory workflows that rely on manual pipetting.

Methodology:

Divides functionality into a workflow-building module and a stepwise visual guidance module and generates optimized pipetting workflows for microplates; includes a display mechanism that projects information onto wells.
