What does PV mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Selecting the appropriate PV depends on the volume of liquid you need to dispense or measure. Pipets are available in a wide range of volumes, from microliters (µL) to milliliters (mL). Consider the accuracy and precision required for your application. For small volumes, a microliter-range pipet is suitable, while larger volumes may require a milliliter-range pipet.

Yes, you can generally use a pipet with the same PV for different liquids. However, it is important to note that the accuracy and precision of the pipet may vary depending on the liquid's properties, such as viscosity and density. For optimal results, refer to the pipet's specifications or consult with the manufacturer.

To ensure accurate Pipet Volumes, it is crucial to:

• Calibrate the pipet regularly using appropriate calibration solutions.
• Use the pipet in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Practice proper pipetting techniques, such as avoiding air bubbles and ensuring a complete dispensement.

Pipet Volumes can be classified into two main types:

• Fixed Volume Pipets: Designed to dispense a fixed, predetermined volume of liquid.
• Variable Volume Pipets: Allow for adjustment of the dispensed volume within a specified range.

To calculate the required Pipet Volume, consider the following:

• The volume of liquid to be dispensed or measured.
• The accuracy and precision required for the application.
• The maximum capacity of the pipet.
