The Argument for Pipetting Technique Training
The Argument for Pipetting Technique Training
25 Jan 2016This application note from Artel discusses the various arguments put forward for pipette technique training to minimize human error which affects quality assurance in the laboratory. Improper pipette handling can lead to incorrect results so it is vital for laboratory managers to consistently and continually monitor pipette operator competence and provide scientifically based training.
