Biohit offers a pipetting academy to interested parties. At the Pipetting Academy seminars users are guided through the essentials of pipette and lab ergonomics together with advice of sample and user safety.

This is ideal for organisations who would either like to introduce new staff to liquid handling or give experienced staff a refresher course!

The following pipetting techniques can be employed through use of Biohit electronic pipettes.They do however represent the most commonly used functions of all pipetting actions. Only electronic pipettes and manual repeating pipettes can however dispense in multiple aliquots.

We would recommend attending a pipetting Academy Seminar to become fully conversant with the large range of pipetting techniques and the physical, environmental or maintenance issues that affect a pipettes performance.

	Pipetting (P) Pipette a selected volume with automatic blow-out and with complete control of the piston movement. This mode may be used in conjunction with the cycle counter (P COUNT) or with post-delivery mixing (P+MIXING). The 1-ch pipettor may be used in manual mode controlled by the start and arrow buttons (P MANUAL). Can be perfomed with eLINE, Proline electronic, ePET, mLINE, Proline Plus and Proline manual.
	Reverse Pipetting (rP) A selected volume plus an excess is aspirated into the tip. After delivery the excess volume remains in the tip and is discarded. Can be perfomed with eLINE and Proline electronic.
	Multiple Dispensing (d) Aspirate the total volume plus an excess and repetitively dispense equal volumes of liquid. The volume and number of remaining aliquots are shown on the display. Can be perfomed with eLINE, Proline electronic and ePET.
	Diluting (dd) Two different solutions separated by an air gap are aspirated and then dispensed together with automatic blow out. This mode may be used also in conjunction with post-delivery mixing (dd+MIXING). Can be perfomed with eLINE, Proline electronic and ePET.
	Sequenced Dispensing (Sd) A series of different volumes can be delivered in any desired order. A most useful feature when performing dilution series. Can be perfomed with eLINE and Proline electronic.
	Automatic Dispensing (Ad) This mode is similar to the multiple dispensing mode but has the additional benefit of the dispensing cycles being under automatic control at a user specified pace (0.1-9.9 seconds). Can be perfomed with eLINE.
	Multi-Aspirating (SA) Select the volume and the number of aspirations desired. Repeat the aspiration until the series is completed, then discard the full aspirated volume in a single step. Can be perfomed with eLINE and Proline electronic.
	Post-Delivery Mixing The piston is automatically moved up and down to mix theliquid in the delivery vessel. The mixing time is controlled by the start button. The mixing function is available in the pipetting or diluting modes (P+MIXING, dd+MIXING). Can be perfomed with eLINE, Proline electronic, ePET, mLINE, Proline Plus and Proline manual.
