qPCR is too important to leave to chance, especially at scale. PIPETMAX® 278 qPCR is a pre-configured, application-based workstation designed to deliver consistent, reproducible qPCR preparation for labs running higher sample volumes or more complex routines. Built on trusted PIPETMAN® accuracy, it supports longer, unattended runs while reducing variability across users and runs.
A larger 16 position bed enables increased throughput and more complex workflows, while example methods, software assistants, and UV/HEPA protection help safeguard sensitive assays from setup through plate preparation. Backed by Gilson scientists and application specialists, PIPETMAX 278 qPCR comes with the training, workflow optimization, and protocol guidance needed to protect your samples, your data, and your confidence.
PIPETMAX 278 qPCR is designed for laboratories that need higher throughput, longer walk-away operation, and repeatable qPCR setup without added complexity. Key benefits include:
These features allow labs to scale qPCR workflows confidently while maintaining consistency across runs, users, and sites.

Optional accessories allow PIPETMAX 278 qPCR to be configured around the specific demands of your workflow, supporting temperature control, mixing, and expanded volume ranges as your application needs evolve. These modules are designed to integrate seamlessly into the system, helping maintain consistency while enabling more complex or sensitive qPCR preparation steps.
By selecting only the accessories you need, you can tailor the workstation to your current workflows while retaining the flexibility to expand capabilities over time.

PIPETMAX 278 qPCR is fully compatible with standard PIPETMAN® DIAMOND Tips, allowing laboratories to automate qPCR preparation without introducing proprietary robotic consumables. This compatibility helps simplify inventory management, control consumable costs, and maintain continuity between manual and automated workflows.
Using the same trusted tips already in your lab also makes it easier to train users, validate methods, and scale throughput without increasing operational complexity.

Flexible software tools enable PIPETMAX 278 qPCR to support both standardized qPCR workflows and evolving experimental needs. Guided qPCR and normalization assistants streamline setup and reduce variability, while optional customization tools provide the freedom to adapt protocols as requirements change. Together, these software features help improve consistency across runs, users, and sites while keeping control firmly in the hands of the scientist.
