Cloud-Connected Platform for Smart Lab Instruments

Gilson has added Gilson Connect, a cloud-connected platform that powers a product line of Bluetooth-enabled, smart liquid-handling devices that enable scientists to achieve verifiable science. The products include the company’s Trackman Connected and Pipetman M Connected, which are able to record and track pipette performance data in real-time and transmit them to sciNote, a free, open-source electronic lab notebook (ELN).

The Trackman Connected includes a tablet with PipettePilot, a microplate pipetting tracker application. The app interacts in real-time with the Pipetman M Connected, a Bluetooth-enabled smart electronic pipette, to guide researchers through their pipetting protocol. The company states that by tracking and storing performance, scientists can review the data for errors and export experiment results, improving their report sharing capabilities.

The devices and apps enable data and reports to be pushed to the sciNote ELN, which automatically creates a secure and consolidated record, helping researchers instantly access and manage the data, create and export reports, or audit the data years later.
