Understanding Pipette Types and Uses – helping participants choose the right tool for each application
The workshop combined technical instruction with live demonstrations, ensuring students walked away with skills they could immediately apply in their lab environments.
Why Pipetting Skills Matter
Precision pipetting is a cornerstone of reliable scientific research. Whether working in academia or industry, consistent and accurate technique is essential to generating reproducible results. Improper pipetting can lead to costly errors, increased variability, and long-term issues such as repetitive strain injuries.
By investing in practical training, institutions empower their teams with the confidence and competence to perform better science.
