Aliquoting / Repeat Pipetting / Multidispensing with ali-Q is faster and easier than with standard pipet controllers using serological pipets. Once you’ve dialed in the volume you want to multidispense and aspirated the liquid you need, simply press and hold the purple aliquot button for the entire duration of each aliquot. When the LED blinks green and the motor turns ON at the end of the dispense, release the button. The ali-Q is now ready for your next press and hold. For the best accuracy and precision using ali-Q, performing…

Any experienced pipetter knows that when pipetting, the smaller the dispense volume, the harder it is to achieve accurate and consistent results. Pipetting volumes below 2.0 µL can be frustratingly difficult; the smallest drop left behind, the slightest movement, or the quality of the individual tip can cause poor results. A pipette that fails calibration for one technician, may pass for another. Not all variables can be easily controlled, but here are some techniques and tips that can help improve performance!
