BD Biosciences has launched the BD Pin Tool as part of its discovery labware offerings. BD said that the product offers the reusable dispensing performance of a pin tool with the programming convenience of standard pipette tips. The Pin Tool fastens to any 96- or 384-well fluid handler, like a standard set of pipette tips. The company said the tool allows researchers to transfer microliter and nanoliter quantities “on the fly,” without requiring an intermediate dilution step.
