(Artel: Westbrook, ME) -- Artel, a global leader in liquid-handling quality assurance, will be holding “Pipetting Olympics” competitions in labs across the country as part of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, April 24–30. During this competition, lab technologists—as individuals and teams—will have a chance to test their pipetting skills and win gold, silver, and bronze medals for precise liquid dispensing.

“Improper pipetting technique is a major source of error in laboratories,” says George Rodrigues, Ph.D., Artel’s senior scientific manager. “The Pipetting Olympics is a fun, team-building event and a hands-on component of Artel’s suite of training tools, designed to meet heightened demand for pipette operator competence in clinical laboratories.”
