How Positive-Displacement Pipettes Help to Improve Your Results
Liquid properties such as viscosity, volatility, surface tension, or temperature can adversely affect the performance of your pipettes by having an impact on the volume of the air cushion inside the pipette. Additionally, air-displacement pipettes run a higher risk cross-contamination with biological samples and carryover of hazardous or radioactive liquids. For these situations, positive-displacement pipettes, such as MICROMAN® E, are a better tool for the job.
