Giving you a Helping Hand for Your Hands

The new Ergo-News is now available from Anachem. This handy booklet will really give your hands a helping hand. It is packed full of useful information about pipetting and ergonomics, Repetitive Strain Injuries and the risks created by pipetting, plus features on how to prevent RSI and how Anachem can help you.

'What are RSI's?' this section of the magazine provides you with information on why you should be concerned about RSI and how to know if you are at risk. But don't worry we have included helpful information in the section titled 'Knowledge is Key' on how to protect yourself and helping you to learn how to minimise your risks.

There are a wide range of white papers, posters and videos available on the Anachem web site to help educate you and your colleagues reduce your risk of developing a painful RSI such as 'Gamers Thumb'. The numbers of scientists reporting pain in their thumbs is on the increase, which is not a surprise when you think how much your thumb gets used during the course of a day e.g. pipetting for an hour, texting and generally using your phone during tea and lunch breaks, pipetting again after breaks then again using your phone after work. Your poor thumb never gets a rest. So we have developed the extremely popular Stretch Poster which shows diagrams with instructions of the different ways you can stretch to ensure that you shake off the stiffness and stress that accumulates after long hours at the lab bench.

To ensure that you can afford the best ergonomic pipettes available we have also included a range of special offers on Rainin LTS pipettes and tips, which will help you on your way to a safer working environment.
