This video will cover the most common mistakes that could be made while using a micropipette. There are many ways that a micropipette can be misused in the laboratory, from dropping the micropipette to using it with acid. These mistakes can affect the calibration of the micropipette, causing it to be inaccurate. All laboratory users will benefit from making sure that everyone uses the pipettes correctly, because the pipettes are a communal resource. Pipette inaccuracy will affect everyone’s work. Because of this, if you see someone using the pipettes incorrectly, let them know. The laboratory manager can also be notified if the problem persists.
