pipetting
Pipetting is a laboratory technique used to measure and transfer small volumes of liquids accurately. It involves using a device called a pipette, which can be manual or electronic. The user draws liquid into the pipette and then dispenses it into another container, ensuring precise measurements for experiments or analyses.
This technique is essential in various fields, including biology, chemistry, and medicine. Proper pipetting skills help prevent contamination and ensure reliable results. Different types of pipettes, such as micropipettes and volumetric pipettes, are designed for specific volume ranges and applications, making them versatile tools in scientific research.
