The manual movement of the piston is replaced by a small electric motor powered by a battery. Whereas manual pipettes need a movement of the thumb (up to 3 cm), electronic pipettes have a main button. The programming of the pipette is generally done by a control wheel and some further buttons. All settings are displayed on a small display.
Positive displacement pipettes are a type of pipette that operates via piston-driven displacement. [1] [2] Unlike an air displacement pipette, which dispenses liquid using an air cushion in the pipette tip, the piston in a positive displacement pipette makes direct contact with the sample, allowing the aspiration force to remain constant.
Move the pipette to the receiving vessel and dispense the liquid by gently pressing the pipette knob to the first stop. After about one second, keep on pressing pipette knob to the second stop. This action will completely empty the tip from the liquid. Afterwards withdraw the tip from the liquid and release the pipette to the ready position.
As the piston moves upward, driven by the depression of the plunger, a vacuum is created in the space left vacant by the piston. The liquid around the tip moves into this vacuum (along with the air in the tip) and can then be transported and released as necessary. These pipettes are capable of being very precise and accurate.
