[Pipette knowledge] Pipette Tips _ The secret to make pipetting work easier!

First, adjust the working environment:

1.1 There is room for stretching legs (do not let the box fill the space)

1.2. When sitting on a chair, you can put your feet on the ground or step on the footstool so that the hips are parallel to the ground (3 contact points)

1.3 Let the instruments (pipettes, tips, tubes, reagents, etc.) be placed close to the experiment operator. Tilt the waste container to you.

1.4 Checking the posture (neutral position)

1.5 Try to sit close to the chair

1.6 ears above the shoulders

1.7 shoulders and hips at the same level

1.8 upper arm close to the sides of the body

1.9 The forearm is at an angle of 90° or more from the upper arm

1.10 Hand posture/grip strength should be kept relaxed

1.11 wrist maintains a neutral position (straight)
