In diagnostics, time, precision, and budget are everything. Yet for many labs, the leap into automation can feel out of reach, especially when systems demand proprietary consumables or a complex setup. That’s why PIPETMAX® 268 and PIPETMAX® 278 are different. It brings reliable, scalable automation to the bench without the burden of expensive automation-only tips.
At its core, PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278 carry forward the trusted engineering of PIPETMAN®, a name synonymous with accuracy in life science research. PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278 automate liquid handling tasks such as qPCR prep, normalization, or ELISA setup using the same precision scientists rely on manually.
Unlike other liquid handlers that require proprietary consumables, PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278 use standard PIPETMAN® DIAMOND Tips, the same high-quality tips many labs already stock for their pipettes. That means no locked-in supply chains, no inflated consumable costs, and no compromise in performance. Just the continuity of trusted pipetting, now automated.
Every PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tip is molded in a clean environment from medical-grade polypropylene and rigorously tested for fit, accuracy, and purity. Whether sterile, filtered, or standard, each lot is traceable, giving researchers confidence that every plate, every channel, and every volume is handled with care.
In high-stakes diagnostic work, even a tiny inconsistency can alter results. That’s why labs like UTCBS, which recently automated diagnostic assay preparation, chose PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278. Their team scaled sample throughput without introducing new sources of variability and without replacing consumables with expensive automation tips. The same tips they trusted at the bench now powered their automated platform, maintaining data integrity while dramatically accelerating results.
…no locked-in supply chains, no inflated consumable costs, and no compromise in performance.
PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278 were built to meet scientists where they already are. TRILUTION® micro software lets users build or import protocols without robotics expertise. From 1 µL to 1,200 µL, it handles a full range of liquid handling tasks with precision: reagent addition, plate replication, normalization, and more.
In side-by-side validation studies, PIPETMAX matched the accuracy of large-format robotic systems while running up to 25% faster, thanks to streamlined liquid handling paths and built-in intelligent tip management. The result: reproducible performance at a fraction of the cost and footprint of traditional automation.
Most automation platforms require specialized, brand-specific tips that quickly inflate per-assay costs. By contrast, PIPETMAX 268 and PIPETMAX 278 embrace openness. Using the same PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips across manual and automated workflows allows labs to:
For researchers, this continuity isn’t just convenient, it’s empowering. It turns automation from a high-barrier investment into a natural next step in laboratory evolution.
The future of lab automation doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With PIPETMAX 268, PIPETMAX 278, and Gilson tips, labs can automate their most repetitive workflows while keeping consumables consistent, traceable, and affordable.
As seen in academic diagnostics centers to environmental testing groups, this combination is helping scientists do more with less: more samples processed, more reproducible data, and more time to focus on results instead of routine.
When automation feels familiar, scientists gain more than just efficiency, they gain confidence in every step of the workflow.
