Cheap and Convenient
Friday, May 05, 2023
We ended up getting a few of these as we found they were the best way to hold and distribute our pipettes across the lab. Other holders were circular and so inevitably some were facing the wall and there's really no point to that. This is perfect for us as it lets us put a pipette for each range ... read more
Easy, Simple, Versatile
Thursday, May 04, 2023
It's a simple machine that does its job very well. There are a wide variety of attachments that can be used to accommodate different types of labware. We bought several of them to use in several different applications that also use different types of labware. The sales rep was very helpful in ... read more
Very Easy to Set up and Accommodate in a New Lab
Wednesday, May 03, 2023
This is by far my favorite freezer. We've had it for a few years now and it has never broken down or gone out of tolerance. Calibration has been very easy and it's been reliable. My favorite part is that it can be plugged into a regular 120V outlet. I was setting up a new lab recently and the ... read more
Good Product, but Not for Processes That Demand a Lot of Water in a Short Amount of Time.
Thursday, March 09, 2023
Trying to set up type 3 water for a clinical diagnostics lab. Looked at this first, but quickly found out that we'd have to have a reservoir of cleaned water. The quality of the water is great, as I believe it can produce up to type 1 water. Our requirement was just type 3 or better. It just became ... read more
Great for Less than High Throughput Automation
Tuesday, March 07, 2023
We have several liquid handlers; Tecan and an Opentrons OT-2. Tecan is for our high throughput stuff, but the OT-2 is great. It's very easy to use, intuitive and reliable. Best of all, it's cheap to get one brand new. It just has a single pipette so it's not for anything high throughput, but it ... read more
Expensive but Worth It
Monday, March 06, 2023
Was considering the Mastercycler X50 vs a couple other cheaper options. Ultimately went with the X50 and we don't regret it at all. It's super easy to use, and is very easy to maintain. I've always had good experiences with Eppendorf. Their tech support is always helpful and will help you keep your ... read more
Expensive to Maintain, but Performs Great
Friday, February 10, 2023
In my opinion, this is an unmatched spec. Super accurate, super reliable. My only drawback on it would be if you need to get a repair done or anything, it is definitely not going to be cheap. That goes with the tech though. Higher performance equipment is usually more expensive. We purchased two of ... read more
Work Fine but Not the Cheapest Price
Monday, November 28, 2022
The tips from Thermo Fisher Scientific work fine. I give it 3 stars because I consistently get a cheaper price from Tecan when I buy tips for both the LiHa and the MCA96. I've used Thermo Fisher tips and they worked fine. I didn't have to change my scripts at all so if you have a good deal with ... read more
Great Price
Wednesday, November 23, 2022
We source many types of labware including these 50 mL tubes. So far these have been among the cheapest (in price) and we're very appreciative of that. They work just fine. The markings on them haven't faded at all and we've been using them for about a year now. Considering they do the job of a tube ... read more
Easy to Calibrate and Maintain
Monday, November 21, 2022
We have one of these and so far it's been one of the easier incubators to work with. We have several benchtop and standup incubators, but I like this one the most. It has a very intuitive controller and is easy to understand. Some incubators have very abstract menus and are not very intuitive in my ... read more
