Scientists know that viscous solutions do not behave the same way as aqueous solutions during pipetting. Master mix, glycerol, and polyethylene glycol are examples of liquids that are more viscous and ...

Thick and viscous liquids can create problems when pipetting as they have low elasticity, enter the tip more slowly than other liquids, and often stick to the wall when dispensed. There are, however, ...

Despite daily use in every life science laboratory, best pipetting practices are not as well-known as one might expect. Many users are self-taught and have never received formal pipetting training ...
