Tips for Pipetting
	Use anti-fatigue floor mats if standing for long periods. Sit supported against the backrest of your chair. Sit or stand close to your work at bench cut outs. Adjust your chair to work height rather than jutting out your chin or bending your neck down when working. Elevate your chair rather than reaching up to pipette. Do not twist or rotate your wrist while pipetting. Alternate or use both hands to pipette. Hold the pipetter with a relaxed grip. Use minimal pressure while pipetting. Use light force or two hands to change tips Use low profile tubes, solution containers and waste receptacles. Select a light-weight pipetter sized for your hand. Use pipetters with finger aspirators and thumb dispensers to reduce thumb strain. Use latch-mode or electronic pipetters for repetitive pipetting. Take a 1 to 2 minute break after every 20 minutes of pipetting.
