I've gone through a box a day at peak just doing regular chemistry (biochem uses way more) so I completely believe it. It's not like one pipet tip a minute. It's more like, you have N source vials and M destination vials/wells/rows, and you'll do that several times a day, interspersed with other processes. A cycle goes like: 10 New tip 20 Suck up sample from source n 30 Dispense into m-sub-i 40 while you still have destinations for the current solution, goto 20 50 eject tip 60 goto 10 This cycle takes maybe a few seconds to half a minute. Also multiply number of tips by P if you have a multi-tip pipette.
