Using and looking after your pipettes correctly is paramount to maintaining accuracy and achieving repeatable and reproducible results. Dispensing of precise volumes of liquid is but one step in a workstream and often an essential activity within protocols. The pipette has hidden complexities for an instrument that looks so simple in design, and yet if it is used properly it can be precise on a microscopic level, delivering to a specified nominal volume. It is no surprise, therefore, that international standard ISO 8655 dictates design requirements, calibration procedures, and possible sources of error when pipetting. Once a pipette has been calibrated correctly it is important to maintain Good Pipetting Practice in order to avoid inaccuracies and to service each pipette at least once a year to guarantee that you can standardise the delivery of a precise volume. Servicing also extends your pipettes’ lifespan, helps you to avoid poor performance and leakages, and eliminates cross contamination. In order to help make your pipetting experience more comfortable this article focusses on some top tips.
