Micropipetting 101
Micropipettes allow scientists to measure small volumes of liquid
accurately. Hone your micropipetting skills by practicing with reusable
supplies.
Accurate and precise measurements are critical for any scientific
investigation. When scientists need to measure small volumes of liquid
accurately, they use a tool called a micropipette. In this lab, students
will practice micropipetting with reusable supplies to get the hands-on
experience they need to become micropipette experts.
