How to Optimize Your Pipetting Technique for Challenging Liquids

Explore how liquid properties influence pipetting performance and learn how to adapt your technique for more accurate results with challenging samples.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How liquid properties affect pipetting performance

• The best pipettes and tips for viscous, volatile, foaming liquids, and other challenging liquids

• What changes in pipetting technique can improve accuracy and reproducibility

Most pipettes are optimized for room-temperature, aqueous solutions, but many real-world samples are far more challenging. Viscous, volatile, low surface tension, foaming, and hazardous liquids require specialized tools and techniques to achieve accurate and reproducible results.

In this webinar you’ll learn how different liquid properties influence pipette performance. We’ll compare air displacement and positive displacement pipettes, explain when each is appropriate and demonstrate technique adjustments that improve accuracy. You’ll also gain practical recommendations for selecting pipettes and approaches based on specific sample characteristics.
