Take the Challenge Out of Pipetting Challenging Liquids
Good Pipetting Practice Academy: Pipetting Challenging Liquids
Program Overview
- Understand how liquid properties affect pipetting performance.
- Select appropriate pipetting solution for viscous, volatile or foaming liquids.
- Apply technique adjustments to improve accuracy and reproducibility.
Most pipettes are optimized for room-temperature, aqueous solutions but many samples are far more challenging. Viscous, volatile, low surface tension, foaming, hazardous, and non-room temperature liquids require specialized tools and techniques to achieve accurate and reproducible results.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how different liquid properties influence pipetting behavior and performance. We’ll compare air displacement and positive displacement pipettes, explain when each is appropriate, and demonstrate technique adjustments that improve accuracy with difficult liquids. You’ll also gain practical recommendations for selecting pipettes and approaches based on specific sample characteristics.
If you routinely handle challenging liquids, especially if you’re struggling with inconsistent results, this session provides clear, actionable guidance. Get all your pipetting questions answered by pipetting experts during the live Q&A.
This webinar is part of the Good Pipetting Practice Academy series, designed to give scientists at the bench practical, real-world guidance on critical aspects of liquid handling.
Key Takeaway
Learn how to improve your pipetting accuracy with challenging liquids by choosing the right tools and techniques.
