Depending on the number of pistons in a pipette, there is a differentiation between single-channel pipettes and multi-channel pipettes. For manual high-throughput applications like filling up a 96-well microtiter plate most researchers prefer a multi-channel pipette. Instead of handling well by well, a row of 8 wells can be handled in parallel ...
Pipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. Many pipette types work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense liquid ...
At that time, the usual method of liquid transfer was to use thin glass pipettes in which the fluids were aspirated directly or via a hose to the mouth. For this work, Heinrich Schnitger constructed, in the spring of 1957, in cooperation with the mechanical workshop of the Institute, a novel device with which it was possible to dispense small ...
Reverse pipetting is a technique to dispense a measured quantity of liquid by means of air displacement pipette.The technique is mainly recommended for solutions with a high viscosity or a tendency to foam: [1] as it reduces the risk of splashing, foam or bubble formation.
Release the pipette knob slowly to the ready position. Do not remove the tip from the solution. Repeat this process (step 3 and 4) to rinse the tip until the interior wall of the tip is clear. Remove the tip from the solution. Press the pipette knob to the second stop, and completely empty the tip. Release the pipette knob to the ready position.
A small pipette allows for more precise measurement of fluids; a larger pipette can be used to measure volumes when the accuracy of the measurement is less critical. Accordingly, pipettes vary in volume, with most measuring between 0 and 25.0 millilitres (0.00 and 0.88 imp fl oz; 0.00 and 0.85 US fl oz). [2]

(These are for Class A pipettes; Class B pipettes are given a tolerance of twice that for the corresponding Class A.) A specialized example of a volumetric pipette is the microfluid pipette (capable of dispensing as little as 10 μL) designed with a circulating liquid tip that generates a self-confining volume in front of its outlet channels.
