Electronic pipettes made smart through connectivity
Pipette+ Stand is a fully connected electronic pipette system designed to bring speed, precision, and traceability to your laboratory workflows. It combines Bluetooth-enabled single- and multichannel electronic pipettes with a smart charging stand running an embedded computer, all governed by OneLab Software. Together, they automate every pipetting parameter — aspiration volumes, dispensing volumes, mixing, and tip ejection — exactly when each step requires it, without any manual adjustments.
Reduce pipetting time by up to 90% compared to conventional manual methods, eliminate operator errors, improve ergonomics, and capture complete experimental traceability — automatically, at every step.

Overview
- Up to 90% faster than conventional manual pipetting
- Reproducible pipetting — automated parameter setting eliminates operator variability
- Full experimental traceability — every pipetting action logged automatically; no manual recording required
- Reduced operator errors — OneLab Software removes miscalculated volumes, missed mixing steps, and forgotten tip ejection
- Improved ergonomics — no need to manipulate pipette controls manually, especially valuable when working gloved or inside biosafety cabinets
- Automated liquid handling — control connected devices (shakers, heater/coolers) from a single interface
- Data integrity — seamless, automatic records support GLP/GMP compliance workflows
Recommended Use: Laboratories seeking to minimize bench workload, prioritize productivity, protect data integrity, and generate fully traceable results in genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, and clinical research workflows.
Smart charging stand with embedded computer
The Pipette+ charging stand functions as a computing hub with an embedded processor that communicates with OneLab Software via Wi-Fi or LAB and manages Waters Electronic Pipettes’ settings. No external PC is needed; protocols can be designed and monitored in OneLab Software from any browser-compatible device on the same network.
Automatic pipette identification and Bluetooth pairing
Single- and multichannel electronic pipettes are automatically recognized the moment they are placed in the stand's slots. Charging, monitoring, Bluetooth pairing, and registration all happen transparently — no user action needed. This seamless handshake is the foundation of Pipette+'s zero-effort traceability: every pipette used, every protocol executed, and every volume dispensed is captured without a single manual entry.
Guided, step-by-step protocol execution
Scientists design protocols graphically in OneLab Software. During execution, the system pushes the correct parameters (aspiration volume, dispensing volume, mixing cycles, tip ejection) to each pipette at precisely the right step. This eliminates the most common sources of manual pipetting error and is especially valuable for complex, multi-reagent protocols or when working in confined spaces such as biosafety cabinets.
Connected liquid handling ecosystem
Pipette+ integrates with other OneLab Software–compatible devices — shakers, heater/coolers, and additional liquid handling instruments — enabling coordinated, fully traceable experimental workflows from a single software interface.
Applications
- Standard Calibration Curves: consistent, traceable curve preparation every time
- Peptide mapping of monoclonal antibodies: multi-step sample prep with concentration normalization for protein samples per run — eliminates operator-dependent sequence coverage variability
- Drug Discovery: reproducible compound handling across screening campaigns
- ELISA: guided multi-step reagent addition with step tracking
- Bacterial endotoxin testing: guided serial dilution of endotoxin standards, PPC spiking, sample dilution, and reagent addition— ensures contamination-free, reproducible execution for endotoxin testing assays
- Reagent Preparation for Automation: documented, reproducible upstream prep that feeds robotic workflows
- Serial Dilution: automated volume calculations eliminate math errors
- Concentration Normalization: software-calculated volumes for every sample
- Sample reformatting: transfer samples between tubes, vials, and plates with full traceability
