Introduction to Pipettes
Course Price: $349
Target Learner:
Technicians, Engineers, and Scientists
Course Description:
Introduction to Pipettes develops the knowledge and practical judgment required to select, operate, check, care for, and evaluate common piston-operated liquid-handling devices.
The course begins with the role of volume transfer in the analytical measurement process. Participants examine how air-displacement and positive-displacement systems work, how nominal capacity differs from the selected and delivered volume, and how liquid properties and user technique influence performance.
Learners explore:
- Fixed- and variable-volume instruments
- Single-channel and multichannel designs
- Air-displacement and positive-displacement principles
- Volume ranges and operating limits
- Tip compatibility
- Aspiration and dispensing technique
- Forward and reverse pipetting
- Pre-wetting
- Immersion depth
- Environmental influences
- Liquid properties
- Gravimetric performance checks
- Accuracy and precision
- Routine inspection and maintenance
- Calibration and verification
- Measurement uncertainty
- Data recording and interpretation
The objective is not merely to teach learners how to transfer liquid. It is to develop professionals who understand how the complete liquid-handling process affects the validity of laboratory results.
