  • Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes

    Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.
