pipetting techniques

Pipetting techniques involve carefully transferring liquids using a device called a pipette. To do this accurately, you should attach a clean pipette tip, press the plunger to the first stop, immerse the tip into the liquid without splashing, then slowly release the plunger to draw the liquid into the tip. When dispensing, press the plunger smoothly to the first stop to release the liquid, then press to the second stop to expel any remaining drops. Maintain a steady hand and vertical position to ensure precision and avoid air bubbles, ensuring consistent and accurate liquid transfer.
