Using a Micropipette - University of Leicester

A short film showing how to use a Gilson Micropipette. The film was made to support the teaching of undergraduate Biological Science students at the University of Leicester.
The film was produced by GENIE, based within the Genetics Department at the University of Leicester. Further information and materials can be found on the GENIE web site www.le.ac.uk/genie and the GENIE VGEC web site www.le.ac.uk/vgec
The film was directed by Jon Shears of ITS-Multimedia Services and the film was produced by Raymond Dalgleish, Nicola Suter-Giorgini and Cas Kramer.

This is the best Pipette instructional video I have found thank you.

I laughed so hard at that sound effect for the "Don't Do's".

[@nicholaspark4165]

The Nos sounded like a broken tuba or a fart

[@burcusatelier]

me too!! the sound...was great! :)

[@seven7wenty]

haha that's how you'll remember the do's and don'ts

[@valeriozippo5720]

poooo poooo X .......... LOL

[@cmrnqueen]

only pipette video that shows how to read the the P2...Thank YOU!!!...just saved me from getting hell from my lab proff

[@willdrew6825]

This video made me want to micropipette some liquids so bad

[@HZAexNB]

Not as easy as it looks mate

[@denwin4221]

No bro
What my teacher could not explain
Like first stop and second stop
Easily explained by the mam ,for me to understand.
Really helpful ❤️

Without a doubt the most helpful and informative lab video I've watched. Thank you very much.

[@gilong1311]

Awesome video, answered all my questions.

[@dontownsend9724]

You've covered the possible ways the pipette can be contaminated or damaged,but you've failed to follow up on what to do about it. I started working in an analytical lab over 20 years ago and they were having trouble passing the unknown quantitative metals tests each year required by the EPA. My first year on these analysis's I was testing the output of my eppendorf pipette on an analytical balance with reagent grade water to insure in was delivering the proper volume before making my standards. Another analyst asked me what I was doing , I told them and they then said." well I worked in the medical field for over 10 years and we never tested our pipettes". All I could think was no wonder so many people die in hospitals if this is normal SOP in the medical field. If the pipette is found to be not delivering the set volume it must be taken apart and cleaned or repaired !!!! After this all our measuring equipment was checked closely for accuracy. We never failed our yearly test again .

[@TheSnakeboy11]

Awesome story, that's making the world a better place.

[@jauld360]

The first thing I did on receiving a new pipette was to test it. a) for accuracy, b) for repeatability and c) to check my technique. That analyst wasted 10 years.

[@johannesmthembu8663]

Thanks University of Leicester for this video,well explained thank u.

[@austindiehl6540]

This video was terrific. Thank you

[@chriswong1516]

How a clear explanation. I'm going to do laboratory practical tomorrow. This may help a lot to me.

[@jtxc3]

Thank you! This is brilliant! It helped me review for my lab mid-term

[@christyxoxo]

lecturer told me to watch..
and i found it very useful!!! Thanks!!

[@nmbr_otfzf]

정말 유익해요! 과학 실험을 진행하는데 필요한 기본적인 지식들이 알차게 들어있네요!!

[@Hiphop101ize]

Oh yeah, all this talk about the tip got my body tingly!

[@anjichant543]

That was an excellent revision of my 4 years of study in lab.

[@oreadeboye4506]

Thank you so much for the video. You made pipetting so easy to understand.

P2 range: 0.2-2ul
P20 range: 2-20ul
P200 range: 20-200ul
P1000 range: 100-1000ul
(in this case u is the symbol for micro, or 10^-6)

[@selamyemane1640]

You have been very helpful. Thanks

[@JoChen-gb4xr]

honestly, the part which the video demonstrates dos and don'ts is the best

[@ifrahjameel4588]

best explanation so far

[@elenaautumnalmermaid6913]

As a biochemistry student, my heart breaks everytime the liquids touch the actual pipette.
But great video for learning what to do and what not to do.

[@deadbzeus]

I feel this lol

[@kkmatt]

¡Muy excellente! Totally ready for lab!

[@sobster123]

Best pippetting vid out there!

[@mikejedi182]

Thank you for creating this video

[@Teo_live]

Great video. The [X] don't-do's were entertaining

[@KeptNow]

not bad for an instructional video.
these science instructions are usually 20 years old and out of date. this video was really well done--with camera angles, explanation, and reasonings

[@microfetish]

A lovely job indeed!

Es un video muy interesante sobre el uso de las micropipetas, desconocía qué algunas pipetas tenían en el botón un número lo que nos dice hasta cuanto puede medir, además de los números rojos qué también sirven para lo mismo

[@elakkeya4173]

Very helpful
