Front

What is a micropipette?

Back

A micropipette is a laboratory tool used to measure and transfer small volumes of liquid, typically in the microliter range.

Front

What happens if a micropipette is set outside its volume range?

Back

Setting a micropipette outside the range it can take up (too little or too much) will cause the tool to break.

Front

What is the correct way to fill a micropipette?

Back

To fill a micropipette correctly, you should only push to the first stop; pushing to the second stop will result in too much solution.

Front

What is the maximum volume a P200 micropipette can measure?

Back

The maximum volume a P200 micropipette can measure is 200 microliters.

Front

Which micropipette is best for measuring 146 uL?

Back

The best tool to measure 146 uL is a P200 uL micropipette.

Front

What is the purpose of a transfer pipette?

Back

A transfer pipette is used to transfer larger volumes of liquid than a micropipette, typically in the milliliter range.

Front

What is the difference between a micropipette and a graduated cylinder?

Back

A micropipette is used for precise measurement of small volumes (microliters), while a graduated cylinder is used for measuring larger volumes (milliliters) with less precision.

Front

What is the significance of the first and second stops on a micropipette?

Back

The first stop is used to draw liquid into the pipette, while the second stop is used to expel the liquid completely.

Front

What is the typical range of a P20 micropipette?

Back

A P20 micropipette typically has a range of 2 to 20 microliters.

Front

Why is it important to use the correct pipette for a specific volume?

Back

Using the correct pipette ensures accuracy and precision in measurements, which is crucial for experimental results.
