This application note demonstrates the use of EXTRACTMAX™ for fully automated magnetic bead–based purification of proteins, with a focus on preserving weak and transient protein–protein interactions. Using Gilson’s exclusion-based sample preparation (ESP™) technology, EXTRACTMAX gently transfers magnetic beads through multiple wash steps without centrifugation or harsh aspiration. The study highlights reproducible protein recovery, minimal sample loss, and parallel processing of up to four samples, illustrating how EXTRACTMAX supports reliable and automated magnetic purification workflows.

ELISA protocols rely on precise, repetitive pipetting steps that can quickly become time-consuming. This article explores how PIPETMAN® M96 enables simultaneous 96-well dispensing to streamline plate preparation, reduce variability, and cut pipetting time by up to 70%.

Get fast, high-yield, and high-purity isolations without the need for long washing steps. This is possible thanks to our exclusive Exclusion-based Sample Preparation (ESP™) technology. It is perfect for capturing weakly bound protein complexes without subjecting them to high shear forces from pipette-based wash steps. Plus, it prevents contamination, dilution, or discarding of the original samples.

Gilson and Funai show a preview of the soon-to-be-released Gilson Digital Dispenser. This is a non-contact dispenser capable of dispensing DMSO and aqueous solutions from pL to µL. The large dynamic range makes it ideal for dose-response studies, serial dilutions, and assay miniaturization. In this webinar, our attending experts demonstrate the functionality of the new Digital Dispenser with a cell-based assay example.

Gilson provides scientists with a range of manual and automated high-precision liquid handling tools to enable CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing research. By choosing the right tool for the right job, convenience, productivity, accuracy, and precision can all be maximized to ensure reproducible and verifiable results.

To ensure the accuracy of your results, you need to opt between using a positive-displacement pipette vs air-displacement pipette. Here’s what you should know.

The Gilson Safe Aspiration Station is a stand-alone motorized vacuum system for quick and easy aspiration of biological liquid waste disposal. Liquids are quickly and safely aspirated and collected in a 4 L polypropylene bottle. The station offers adjustable aspiration speed and handles, ideal for ELISA tests, cell culture, and any other contaminated or hazardous liquid aspiration and disposal.

In this app note, PIPETMAX 268, an automated pipetting platform for maximizing reproducibility of biological sample preparation, was used to demonstrate the reproducibility and accuracy for a cell-based mechanistic toxicity profiling application.

Here, we describe a low-cost automated fluid dispensing system that is easy to use, while also remaining adaptable to a variety of tube/vial/plate formats. The system is suitable for many uses in biotechnology, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical labs.
