    This three-minute video improves your pipetting skills and secures a homogenous pipetting technique in your lab when all lab members follow these easy tips. Your assays will be more reproducible and reliable without depending on one person doing the experiment. We will show each important step in pipetting from the operation of the buttons to dispensing of the liquid. We give valuable information on each handling move and explain in detail all critical points during pipetting. You will learn about the correct aspiration angle and immersion depth and receive reasons why these considerations are of great importance. We clarify the term and practice of pre-wetting by showing how to do it. In the last step of pipetting you will learn about the appropriate dispensing angle and performance of blow-out to achieve most reliable and reproducible results.

      Why don't you? You should get them! You're missing out! Think of all the fluids you could pipette into vials! And then pipette them out of those vials into other vials! Tbh I reckon this should be an olympic sport. >_>
      I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But it can be useful for routine testing of things. Are you a gardener? Fancy hybridizing or cloning a specific plant to improve it or make it resilient to something? NPK measurements of hydrponic solution benefit from good lab technique like this, note it all down, and then perfect your mix!

    What about wiping down the sides of the pipette with a tissue?

    • @Cytogreg
      @Cytogreg 5 років тому +17

      If the pipette tip is clean and attached from the original container and not immersed into the sample beyond the minimum necessary depth, there is no need to wipe the tip. Wiping only increases the opportunity of absorbing the sample from the tip and rendering the sample volume inaccurate.

    • @zeynepipek2902
      @zeynepipek2902 3 роки тому +1

      You do not need to wipe the tip. Also with the small volumes you pipette with these at times it could greatly affect your results. But since these tips are not wiped you should pay attention to immerse your tip just enough for it to take up the liquid
      Pushing to the second pressure point allows all the liquid within the tip to come out.
      Normally wiping is only done with large glass pipettes and even then the tissue shouldn't touch the tip as to not suck out liquid accidentally

    • @zeynepipek2902

      It actually also differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. And depends on the range of the pipette. Reference precision scales can be found in the relevant protocols on the companies website (look up your pipette model and then the calibration protocols).
      You'd still need to check your pipettes in regular intervals and send them in if your result is outside the referenced precision scale

    1. What if the angle of immersion & ejection is not followed properly?
    2. What causes bubbles while pipetting?

    • @BoluwajiPieters
      @BoluwajiPieters 2 роки тому +1

      If the angle of immersion is not followed properly, there'll be inaccuracies in the amount of fluid withdrawn as well as drawing up of air bubbles especially if the fluid withdrawn is of low volume (for example, withdrawing 0.2ml from a 0.35ml sample.)
      If the angle of ejection is not 20-45° and in contact with the deposit vessel walls, there could also be erroneous delivery of such sample.
      Air bubbles are caused by different factors including poor immersion depth (the commonest), the type of fluid, using the wrong pipette tips, releasing the plunger too fast and some other factors that depends on the skills of the person using the micropipette.

The pressure should be enough to make the tip stay on the pipette and also enough to make the tip fall off when it's time to eject the tip using the ejector slide on the side of the pipette.

    • @alexklein8333
      @alexklein8333 2 роки тому

      There's air between the liquid and the piston, so aspirating a few times lets surface molecules evaporate off the surface and saturate that air. This way you don't lose anything potentially significant to evaporation into that space. That's the explanation on ThermoFisher's site. Maybe it's most significant for very small volumes?
