This article looks at how to use a pipette for viscous liquids.
Sponsored Content by INTEGRA BiosciencesNov 15 2022Reviewed by Olivia Frost Thick and viscous liquids can create problems when pipetting as they have low elasticity, enter the tip more slowly than other liquids, and often stick to the wall when dispensed. There are, however, a few techniques that can alleviate the difficulties that arise when pipetting viscous liquids.
Reverse pipetting is particularly useful for thick and viscous liquids. Here, the researcher will aspirate more liquid than required by dispensing the desired amount and discarding a smaller post-dispense volume as waste. This ensures that enough liquid will be dispensed with the majority of errors contained in the post-dispense.
Electronic pipettes can usually be programmed to accommodate post dispensing, so the pipette will aspirate extra liquid for the waste dispense.About INTEGRA Biosciences INTEGRA provides innovative solutions for Liquid Handling and Media Preparation applications which serve the needs of their customers in research, diagnostics and quality control laboratories.
