The Gilson legacy began in the 1940s when Dr. Warren Gilson, a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, started developing specialized medical electronics and instruments that were not commercially available. Since the introduction of the legendary PIPETMAN\u00AE in the 1970s\u2014the world\u2019s first continuously adjustable volume pipette\u2014Gilson has been a primary authority in laboratory accuracy. Headquartered in Middleton, Wisconsin, with a major Center of Excellence in France, the company remains family-owned and dedicated to enabling verifiable science. Their mission is to create reliable, built-to-last tools that improve the traceability and reproducibility of experiments. From academic labs to global pharmaceutical giants, Gilson is trusted by researchers to deliver high-performance instruments that make life at the bench easier and more efficient.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003EThe Gilson range at LabFriend features professional \u003Ca href=\u0022/liquid-handling\u0022\u003Eliquid handling\u003C/a\u003E solutions, headlined by the iconic PIPETMAN\u00AE series of manual and electronic microlitre pipettes. These instruments are celebrated for their ergonomic design, durability, and unmatched precision in air-displacement technology. For challenging liquids, the brand provides advanced positive displacement pipettes, such as the MICROMAN\u00AE E, which is ideal for viscous, volatile, or hazardous samples. Their portfolio also includes high-throughput \u003Ca href=\u0022/life-sciences\u0022\u003Elife science\u003C/a\u003E tools like the PIPETMAX\u00AE automated liquid handling workstation, designed to eliminate manual errors in qPCR and NGS workflows.

How often should I calibrate my Gilson PIPETMAN\u00AE?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EFor standard laboratory use, Gilson recommends a professional calibration check at least once a year. However, for highly regulated environments, semi-annual or quarterly checks may be required.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E2. Can I autoclave my Gilson pipette?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EMany modern Gilson models, such as the PIPETMAN\u00AE L and PIPETMAN\u00AE G, are fully autoclavable. Always check the specific manual for your model to see if only the lower part or the entire unit can be sterilized.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3. What is the benefit of using a positive displacement pipette?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EUnlike standard pipettes, positive displacement models like the MICROMAN\u00AE use a piston that comes into direct contact with the sample. This eliminates the air cushion, ensuring accuracy when pipetting oils, alcohols, or dense buffers.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4. Are Gilson Diamond Tips universal?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EWhile Diamond Tips are specifically engineered for the best performance on Gilson pipettes, they follow standard tip geometry and are often compatible with other brands. However, using them with Gilson pipettes guarantees the best results.\u003C/p\u003E","metaKeywords":"Gilson, Gilson Inc., PIPETMAN, microlitre pipettes, multichannel pipettes, automated liquid handling, PIPETMAX, positive displacement pipettes, HPLC systems, fraction collectors","metaDescription":"Elevate your research with Gilson.
