The contest
Test your pipetting skills and see if you can win a Gold, Silver, or Bronze ARTEL Pipetting Olympics Medal. See how you stack up against the country's best pipetters.
How the competition works
Using a single-channel pipette and the ARTEL PCS® Pipette Calibration System or a multichannel pipette and the MVS® Multichannel Verification System, hone your pipetting skills, and then compete against your colleagues and laboratories around the country. You can win an individual Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal based on the precision of your delivery. Individuals with the lowest CVs win prizes and are featured on the Pipetting Olympics web page.
Laboratories not owning a PCS or MVS can have a loaner instrument for the duration of the contest.

Here is what past participants had to say:
"We always use the ARTEL PCS to calibrate our pipettes and train new technicians on pipetting technique to ensure accurate results. We entered last year's competition to see how our pipetting skills compared with other laboratories, and are looking forward to defending our title in 2007."
