Learn how to handle and calibrate low volume and bulk volume automated liquid delivery. Knowing which automated liquid handler meets your needs requires becoming familiar with the terminology, capabilities and common uses. This workshop course will introduce you to the technology, terminology and capabilities while allowing you hands on experience on actual automated robotic pipetting liquid handlers delivery low volume and bulk volume. This course will review options for small volume and bulk volume automated liquid delivery. You will experience live hands on demonstrations and work through problems in handling low volumes. You will also experience hands on calibration techniques of low and bulk volume automated liquid handling. Low volume realms may be sub microliters, nanoliters, and picoliters. On the other hand, bulk volumes are in mililiters and higher volumes.
Understand and gain hands-on experience using equipment for delivering of very small volumes and bulk volumes.
