MORE ACCURATE DATA Andrew Alliance error resulting in more accurate data with less variations. “Did I already mix well D-6 on my second microplate?” The answer to that question and the ensuing course of action will determine the result. Andrew eliminates human variation and fatigue, one of the principal causes for experimental variations. Using the same pipettor and tips that you are using today and have trusted for years, Andrew can perform your experiment from beginning to end, unattended.
