PipetteX

Reproducible data is the standard by which scientific results are measured. Outcomes must be repeatable to provide a foundation for future research.

Well-maintained and calibrated instruments are critical to achieving reproducible results. With PipetteX™ pipette asset management, METTLER TOLEDO offers a solution to manage your pipettes in a simple, efficient and visual way.

Pipette asset management applies to the practices involved with managing valuable assets to pipettes. A pipette asset management system simplifies and largely automates the task of managing service, calibration and recordkeeping.

Pipette asset management includes:

• Pipette identification (user(s), lab(s), serial number, manufacturer)
• Usage monitoring (daily use, age, etc.)
• Location monitoring
• Service scheduling, including alerts to both managers and end users
• Service history and data
• Routine pipette-check reminders, with saved, customizable methods to guide end users
• Storage and retrieval of calibration certificates

A comprehensive pipette asset management system supports pipette performance and provides proof of regulatory compliance anytime.

When Rainin pipette service is provided by METTLER TOLEDO, CalibrateOnSite or CalibrateLab, electronic certificates can be transmitted and stored automatically in PipetteX™. Full service history is also provided, including any spare parts replaced or repairs made.

Yes. PipetteX™ features an import and export functionality allowing you to seamlessly transfer data in .xls, .xlsx and .csv format.

PipetteX™ is a great way to manage pipettes of any brand, or even a mixed inventory of brands.

When serviced by Rainin, METTLER TOLEDO or Calibrate, the service data for any brand of pipette is automatically updated in PipetteX, and electronic certificates are available to print or review.

Managing pipettes with PipetteX is even easier with Rainin XLS pipettes because pipette data (e.g., age, serial number) are stored on each pipette's RFID chip. PipetteX automatically updates a pipette's usage, location and service data when it is placed on a Rainin SmartStand. SmartStand displays service and compliance status right at the bench, so users always know a pipette's calibration status.

Type a search term, such as user, asset ID, channels, volume, manufacturer, serial number, etc., into the top cell of any PipetteX™ column. As you type, results in that column will filter to the best-matching result.

When you see information matching the pipette you're looking for, scroll horizontally to the "Last Seen" column to identify the SmartStand on which this pipette was most recently placed.

The lifecycle status chart shows you the age of your pipettes. Along with usage, lifecycle status is an important signal in assessing when a pipette should be replaced.

Yes. PipetteX™ works with multiple SmartStands in diverse locations to deliver a single point of control.

Yes. PipetteX™ offers many ways to "slice and dice" your pipette inventory and data.

If almost everything on your PipetteX home screen is green, it means pipettes are in service and their calibration is up to date: All good. Yellow indicates that service dates are approaching or that a pipette has not been on a SmartStand for an extended period. Red indicates pipettes that are past due for service and/or calibration.

In the lower left of the PipetteX™ home screen, click the red portion of the Calibration service status chart. If nothing is red, you don't have any past-due pipettes.

Yes. In PipetteX™, it's easy to select multiple pipettes based on shared criteria and make batch changes as needed.

Yes. You can set up automated email reminders to both managers and end users in advance of pipette service due dates.

Yes. It's easy to filter for pipettes that need service during the same period and generate a list.
