Improve Pipetting Accuracy with Metrology
Good Pipetting Practice Academy: Metrology of Pipetting
Program Overview
- Understand key metrology concepts related to pipetting performance.
- Interpret pipetting tolerances and performance specifications.
- Apply the concept of safe pipetting range to daily lab work.
Pipetting specifications are often misunderstood, leading to incorrect assumptions about instrument performance and acceptable error. Metrology – the science of measurement – provides the framework for correctly interpreting accuracy, precision, and uncertainty.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how metrology principles apply to liquid handling and why they matter for experimental reproducibility. We’ll explain systematic and random error, how pipetting tolerances are defined, and how uncertainty changes across a pipette’s volume range. You’ll also learn how the concept of safe pipetting range helps determine whether a pipette is fit for purpose.
This session will equip you with the knowledge to make data-driven decisions about pipette selection and the usage of variable pipettes. 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 metrology concepts apply to pipetting, including how safe pipetting range and uncertainty can be used to improve accuracy.
