Improving accuracy in serial dilutions using the electronic pipette
23 Aug 2020In this study, Sartorius investigates the use of electronic pipettes for the preparation of serial dilutions. The results demonstrate that the use of an electronic pipette for serial dilution gives better accuracy in sample concentrations and has reduced error propagation in the highest dilutions in the series compared to mechanical pipette use. They conclude that electronic pipette is a better choice in the preparation of serial dilutions. Additionally, features such as improved ergonomics, electronic mixing of samples, and the ability to pre-program pipetting protocols added significant benefits to the use of electronic pipettes in preparation of serial dilutions.
