Increase the productivity of your microplate - based workflows
Turn repetitive pipetting into a process that feels natural, seamless and reliable. With PIPETMAN® M96, you spend less time on repetitive motions and more time moving science forward. High-throughput pipetting becomes faster, easier and more reliable — helping you keep pace with demanding workflows.
Smart and easy
PIPETMAN® M96 isn’t just a tool, it’s built to move with you. Its intuitive touchscreen guides you through functions and steps, making complex protocols feel simple and adjustments effortless. Every transfer feels precise, consistent and under your control.
Flexible, like your workday
No two labs, or scientists, work the same way. That’s why PIPETMAN® M96 adapts to your workflow, fitting seamlessly with SLAS-standard labware and PIPETMAN® DIAMOND Tips. Optimised accessories keep your workspace organised without taking up more room, so you can focus on your science instead of your setup.
Confidence you can count on
When results matter, consistency is everything. Backed by the proven reproducibility of Gilson solutions, PIPETMAN® M96 ensures accuracy and reliability in every plate. More than improving productivity, it gives you the peace of mind to focus on the discoveries ahead.

Features
Speed and consistency across every well
PIPETMAN® M96 combines high-throughput performance with the precision and flexibility needed for even the most sensitive microplate applications. PIPETMAN M96 can perform simultaneous pipetting across 96 channels for rapid transfer, plate filling and reagent distribution. Ideal for applications such as PCR setup, ELISA, serial dilutions and plate replication, PIPETMAN M96 helps laboratories increase throughput, improve consistency and reduce hands-on time without the complexity or cost of fully automated systems.
All-in-one and ready to go
PIPETMAN® M96 is fully compatible with standard SLAS-format 96- and 384-well microplates, PCR tubes and PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips ensuring seamless integration into your existing lab environment without requiring specialised consumables. PIPETMAN M96 is available in two volume ranges (2 – 20 µL & 10 – 200 µL) and includes all the accessories needed for quick setup and immediate use.
Simple and easy to use
PIPETMAN® M96’s intuitive touchscreen interface guides you through each step of your workflow, while the ergonomic design supports comfortable operation during repetitive tasks.
Tailored options for optimal usage
PIPETMAN® M96 has eight modes with flexible pipetting functions, including choice of settings and customisation features. Each pipetting mode has an intuitive parameter setting display and can be set with variable speeds to accommodate for different tasks and liquid transfers. The Custom mode allows the creation and execution of personalised protocols that you can save an entire workflow and reuse again and again.
Versatile to take to any lab bench
PIPETMAN® M96 has a compact design, a small footprint and a transport handle and can be placed anywhere in the lab; from bench to fume hood to biohazard cabinet. Being fully transportable, this portability makes PIPETMAN M96 ideal for multi-room or shared lab environments.
