Pipetting Ergonomics for Better Health
Good Pipetting Practice Academy: Pipetting Ergonomics
Program Overview
- Recognize how pipetting contributes to strain and injury.
- Identify ergonomic risk factors in common lab workflows.
- Learn techniques and solutions to reduce strain while maintaining performance.
Pipetting is one of the most repetitive tasks performed in life science laboratories and a common source of repetitive strain injuries. Fatigue, discomfort, and poor ergonomics affect more than just health; over time, they also impact data quality.
This webinar explores the ergonomic risks associated with pipetting and how they impact both user well-being and experimental results. You’ll learn how posture, grip, plunger force, tip ejection force, and workflow design contribute to strain and fatigue. We’ll also share practical strategies to reduce risk, including ergonomic pipetting techniques, task rotation, break planning, and equipment selection.
Whether you manage a team or work at the bench, this session helps you protect long-term health while maintaining accuracy, productivity and consistency. Get all your pipetting questions answered by pipetting experts during the live Q&A.
Key Takeaways
Learn simple, effective strategies to reduce injury risk while improving pipetting consistency.
