Gilson PIPETMAX 268
The Gilson PIPETMAX 268 Automated Liquid Handler is an entry-level automation platform designed to help laboratories transition from manual pipetting to reliable, walk-away liquid handling. Built on proven PIPETMAN technology, it automates routine pipetting tasks to enhance accuracy, precision, and consistency compared with manual methods. Its compact benchtop footprint allows the system to be easily integrated into existing laboratory spaces, including benches or fume hoods, making it suitable for laboratories introducing automation for the first time.
The PIPETMAX 268 system is designed to support a wide range of life science workflows, including PCR and qPCR preparation, ELISA setup, NGS library preparation, and cell-based assays. With a working volume range of 1–1200 μL and compatibility with standard labware such as 96- and 384-well plates, strip plates, and cell culture formats, the platform provides flexibility for evolving research requirements. Intuitive software enables rapid protocol setup and method sharing, while automation of repetitive pipetting steps improves reproducibility and allows researchers to focus on experimental design and data analysis.
