Micropipetting numeracy

No items found.

In this resource, students are taken through how to read micropipettes dials for P20, P200 and P1000 and their minimum and maximum volumes. They will then apply their understanding through a range of scenarios that may require interconversion of units.

Learning outcomes

  • Calculate volumetric unit conversions.
  • Apply micropipetting skills and knowledge in context.
  • Determine how different micropipette dials represent volumes.
  • Identify actions to troubleshoot micropipette malfunctions.
