Gilson has launched a lifetime warranty for Pipetman® pipettes in the UK, which guarantees its products will continue providing precise pipetting solutions for many years, even for the entire career of the user. This comes after several reports of Gilson Pipetman® pipettes still in service after 40 plus years.

Pipettes that are serviced annually at Gilson's UK Service Centre of Excellence are covered under the Gilson Lifetime Warranty. This comprehensive programme includes the cost of all parts and labour for any product failures and the cost of any parts used during the annual service. Regular servicing by Gilson experts to Gilson's rigorous manufacturer standards, using genuine Gilson parts, ensures that premium pipette calibration and performance is maintained and prolongs the life of the pipettes.

Peter Tudor, Managing Director of Gilson UK said: 'At Gilson we are so confident in the quality of our products and the engineering behind them that, after four decades of serving the UK market, we would like our customers to benefit from the confidence we have in our products. This stems from the exceptional standards we set ourselves.'

The Gilson Lifetime Warranty programme is just one of a number of innovative products to be launched by Gilson this year and is unique to the field of liquid handling. It is applicable to newly purchased single channel, manual Pipetman® models purchased within the UK from 1 September 2011 either from Gilson UK directly or its Seal of Assurance Partner, Scientific Laboratory Supplies, SLS.
