postive displacment pipette

[ydna6969]

Hi ,

Apologies,, I only received information on viscosity late last week ,

So to summarise ,calibrate displacement pipette at 5ul with water ( accuracy < 2% precision <5% for example) and only use for nominal values.

No need for displacement pipette for viscous samples ?

No need for displacement pipette for viscous samples ? That depends on whether you have an alternative way of dispensing the volume (mass) of sample that you need
