Participate in the ARTEL Pipetting Olympics during National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week*, April 20-26
When it comes to pipetting, are you a champion?
Pipetting Olympics is a unique event sure to be fun for the entire lab team, that will hone your pipetting skills, build team spirit, and reward the best lab teams in the country.
How the competition works
Using the ARTEL PCS® Pipette Calibration System, challenge your pipetting skills and pit them against your colleagues in your lab, and those of laboratories around the country. If you're as good as you think, you can win an individual Gold, Silver, or Bronze ARTEL Pipetting Olympic Medal based on the accuracy and precision of your pipetting. And, the labs with the three lowest average CVs** for all of their participants will win a Team Prize from ARTEL.

PCS is the best method for calibrating, and it's a superb training tool!
PCS is the best pipetting technique training tool available. The PCS is fast, simple, easy to use and the results are NIST-traceable. CAP auditors recognize it for its accuracy and documentation. The Ratiometric Photometry technology on which PCS is based conforms to ISO Pipette Calibration Standards. You will see what a difference it will make for your lab.
*National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (Lab Week) April 20-26 is an event sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) for promoting technical skills and learning in medical laboratories
**Based on the total average CV for each team, ARTEL will award Team Prizes (Gold, $300 lab luncheon, Silver $200 lab luncheon and Bronze $100 lab luncheon)
