Lesson 3 – Measuring Liquids with an Adjustable Volume Micropipette
Accuracy and precision of measurements ensure that your experiments are both successful and reproducible. For example, small differences in primer or template concentration can make a big difference in the results of PCR experiments. As such, scientists use carefully calibrated micropipettes to measure small volumes in the laboratory. Micropipettes draw liquid into a disposable plastic tip by creating a vacuum in the barrel above the tip. The liquid is dispensed when the vacuum is released. The plastic tip is changed between samples to prevent cross-contamination. Learn more with our Quick Guide!
