Question

To which position should you depress the plunger to accurately dispense the fluid from the micropipette tip when using the micropipette?

Question 8 options:

the first stop


the second stop


the first stop, then pause, then the second stop

Answer 1

To accurately dispense the fluid from the micropipette tip, you should depress the plunger to **the first stop**. This allows for dispensing the desired volume of liquid accurately. If you are expelling any residual liquid in the tip, you may then depress to the **second stop** after the first stop. However, for the initial dispensing of the intended volume, only go to the first stop.

So the best answer is **the first stop**.
