Pipette Show: An Open Source Web Application to Support Pipetting into Microplates.

Despite increasing automation, manual pipetting remains a daily important task in life science laboratories. However, the creation of an efficient work plan is often time-consuming, and its completion is error-prone. Here, we present Pipette Show, a free Vue.js based application that optimizes the generation of an efficient work plan for pipetting into microplates and supports its reliable execution by visual guidance. The basis forms a graphical web interface with a module for building workflows as well as a module displaying the information for each pipetting step by illuminating wells of microplates placed on a tablet.
