Pipetting accuracy is how close the volume actually dispensed is to the set value, while precision covers how consistent the volume is over numerous dispenses. The cover story of this month titled: “Pipetting precision and accuracy Influences on the precision and accuracy of pipetting” contributed by Microbioz India editorial. In chemistry, biology, and medicine, a pipette is a typical laboratory instrument used to convey a predetermined volume of liquid, frequently as a media dispenser. A pipette is used in scientific studies that call for great accuracy to properly measure and transfer small volumes of liquid. However, failure of the equipment or operator error could be the causes of error in pipette measurements. Any variation in the amounts distributed could have an impact on the results and repeatability of an experiment, such as the results of qPCR. Read more
