The video tutorial covers the basics of using a pipette, including its two positions and how to properly draw and dispense liquid. It demonstrates the use of a 96 well plate for various experiments and explains how to dispose of pipette tips. The tutorial also explores advanced pipetting techniques with larger volumes and discusses the selection between 8 and 12 channel pipettes.

What is the first step when using a pipette with two positions?

• Insert the tip into the liquid

• Press the second position

• Grab a tip

• Press the first position

What should you do after drawing liquid into the pipette?

• Dispose of the liquid

• Shake the pipette

• Press the first position again

• Transfer it into a 96-well plate

How do you dispose of the pipette tip after use?

• Leave it on the pipette

• Shake it off

• Manually remove it

• Press a button to eject it

What is the advantage of using an 8-channel pipette?

• It allows for faster processing of multiple samples

• It can handle more liquid

• It is easier to clean

• It is more accurate

What is the difference between an 8-channel and a 12-channel pipette?

• The 8-channel is more precise

• The 12-channel can process more samples at once

• The 8-channel is smaller

• The 12-channel is easier to use
