INTEGRA Biosciences has garnered recognition from iHEALTH 360 for its innovative pipetting solutions, which prioritize ergonomic design. This endorsement comes at a time when workplace health is paramount, especially in laboratory settings where repetitive tasks can lead to serious musculoskeletal disorders.
Manual pipetting is a fundamental yet repetitive task in laboratories, often leading to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. LaNiesha Littleton, CEO of iHEALTH 360, highlights the physical toll this task can take, particularly when laboratory personnel are engaged in filling 96-well plates multiple times daily. To address these challenges, she advocates for the use of ergonomically designed pipettes, emphasizing that while automation is ideal, budget constraints often make it unfeasible. Therefore, selecting pipettes designed for user comfort becomes essential
INTEGRA’s pipetting solutions are crafted with several ergonomic features, such as quick-set dials for volume adjustments and grips that contour to the hand. These enhancements aim to reduce strain and improve efficiency. Additionally, their electronic pipettes are equipped with minimal-force mechanisms for aspiration and dispensing, allowing for a smoother workflow.
The endorsement from iHEALTH 360 underscores the importance of ergonomic tools in enhancing productivity and safeguarding the health of laboratory professionals. By integrating user-centric designs into their pipetting solutions, INTEGRA Biosciences continues to support laboratories in fostering a safer and more efficient working environment.Â
