Question

Is the micropipet that you calibrated more accurate at the low volumes or high volumes? Explain why in three sentences.

Answer 1

Answer -

Micropipettes are very useful while we are working in small volume experiments. Micropipet we calibrated is more accurate at the low volumes.

The reason behind low volume accuracy -

1.  Within low volumes in micropipette, factors like temperature and dispensing accuracy take on extreme significance.

2. At low volume pipetting technique give accurate results.

3. As we increase the volume the pressure component becomes significant.

Hope you understand the concept behind the low volumes in the micropipette.
