(ARTEL: Chicago) -- ARTEL, the global leader in liquid handling quality assurance, announces that its Pipette Tracker software can now be used as an effective laboratory management tool to track and monitor pipette operator performance. When used in combination with the ARTEL Pipette Calibration System (PCS), the software enables lab managers to implement effective training programs as part of a comprehensive quality control system.

Operator pipetting technique competence is a critical laboratory function that significantly contributes to overall data quality. Pipette Tracker helps lab managers monitor operator pipetting performance patterns over time by generating trend analysis reports that track the performance of individual operators. The software also can be programmed to facilitate scheduling of corrective technique training to address problem areas located by the tracking software.
