How does it work? · SQWERTY is as “plug-n-play” as liquid handling can get. Program your workflow in minutes and achieve great consistency, from padawan to master. Pressure-based liquid sensing technology gives you accurate pipetting with just 0.3-2.5% random error across all pipetting modules. That’s going to save you a lot of headaches (and wrist aches). Access multi-dispensing, individual transfers and serial dilution workflows all in one intuitive place. At 10 μl, SQWERTY’s random error is only 0.8% The Mean error using a manual pipette is 5 - 8 % Lippi, Giuseppe et al. “Estimating the intra-...

Why do I need SQWERTY? Because pipetting sucks! Science has come a long way since the 1970s... Why hasn’t pipetting? SQWERTY was created in collaboration with researchers who were sick of their monotonous, error-prone, daily pipetting tasks. If you’re looking to automate your daily pipetting, you likely don’t need the throughput and complexity of a typical liquid handler. SQWERTY is not your typical liquid handler. Liquid handlers are often big, expensive, and a pain in the butt to learn. SQWERTY is for anyone looking to easily automate routine pipetting, without breaking the bank — or your lab...
