COVID-19 Testing: Create Efficiency & Traceability in Your PCR Workflows with TRACKMAN® Connected

With the ever-increasing demand for COVID-19 testing, laboratories are under immense pressure to deliver rapid results which can have a huge impact on staff, resources, and equipment. By incorporating Gilson’s Connected smart devices into your COVID PCR workflow, you can run your experiments more efficiently without compromising traceability or sample integrity.

What is TRACKMAN Connected?

TRACKMAN Connected guides you through your pipetting method to help prevent errors. When paired with PIPETMAN® M Connected, you can see where, when, and how much to pipette in real time for complete traceability. Other features include:

• Improves traceability and reproducibility
• Guides you through your pipetting protocol
• Increases efficiency and reduces costly errors
• Accelerates collaborative reporting
• Generates reports as evidence of your tests
• Changes volume automatically on the paired pipettes
• Records all your data, pipetting actions, and environmental conditions

A Faster Method for Protocol Creation & Execution at the Bench

By using our new Gilson PipettePilot® PCR template embedded into TRACKMAN Connected, you can set up qPCR or PCR experiments quickly. Generate tailor-made protocols with only seven clicks, significantly reducing your protocol creation time.

The 5 Main Benefits of Using the PipettePilot qPCR/PCR Template

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to rapidly make millions of copies of a specific DNA or RNA sample. This allows scientists to amplify a very small amount of targeted DNA or RNA in a patient sample. This method is used for targeting and amplifying RNA from COVID-19 in patient samples and helps determines if they are infected with the virus or not.

Here, we describe the five main benefits of using the PipettePilot qPCR/PCR template, including access to sample information, how the program intuitively guides you through your workflow, and more.

Easy-to-Use

Answer six questions to generate your qPCR/PCR protocol.

Accessible Sample Information

Sample information can be added by scanning sample or reagent barcodes before pipetting.

Use Across Multiple Devices for Better Collaboration

Pipetting plans can be exported in .CSV files to be used in another device.

Intuitive Guidance Right in the App

TRACKMAN Connected guides you during the experiment, indicating where, when, and how much to pipette. Paired with PIPETMAN M Connected, the tablet automatically programs the volume of the pipette.

Enables Traceable and Verifiable Results

Every action is tracked in the report – from pipetting data, device maintenance through to the environmental conditions – for complete traceability and verifiable results.
