Lab Report 2: Impact of Pipetting Technique

The pipette is a reliable precision instrument that has been used and trusted for many years.

However, as with many forms of instrumentation, a pipette will perform only as well as the operator’s technique allows.

Differences in technique –some more than others – can alter delivery volumes. With increasing demand for accuracy, quality and productivity the importance of understanding and developing optimal pipetting technique becomes imperative. Let’s review the results of a study conducted at Artel to determine these differences and assess their impact upon pipetting accuracy.
