How to Use a Micropipette
Using a SSIENCES micropipette is a common skill in many scientific and laboratory settings, such as biology, chemistry, and molecular biology. Micropipettes are precision instruments designed to measure and transfer small volumes of liquid accurately. Here’s a general guide on how to use a micropipette:
1. Familiarize Yourself with the Micropipette:
- Adjustment: Micropipettes typically have adjustable volume settings. Before use, set the desired volume by turning the plunger or the volume adjustment knob.
- Tip Selection: Choose an appropriate pipette tip that corresponds to the volume you are measuring. The tip size should match the pipette’s volume range.
2. Loading the SSCIENCES Micropipette:
- Eject any remaining liquid: If there is liquid in the tip, eject it by pushing the plunger to the first stop and then releasing it.
- Immerse the tip: Immerse the tip into the liquid you want to aspirate. Ensure the tip is fully submerged.
