Problems Addressed

• Labs needed a low cost and easy to use QC method with all statistics, liquid classes, and robotic methods in one place
• Good liquid handling by manual pipetting or automated pipetting requires good technique, practices, and calibration
• Automated liquid handlers (ALH), now standard products from a number of well known manufacturers require calibration for purposes of precision and accuracy in liquid delivery.
• We have found most labs are working with un-calibrated systems that produce irreproducible results or inconsistent results costing the industry millions of dollars.
• We have presented our work at SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening) in the presentation "User Happy Hour-Enabling Labs to Maximize the Performance of Their Robots".
• We have also presented our work at SLAS.org describing the GoodLiquidHandling kit.
• Labs need to know if their pipettes are working properly.
• Through our manual pipette and automated pipette kits labs can determine cost effectively and efficiently if their pipettes operate and are giving reproducible, repeatable, and reliable results.
