Pipette Pulling Techniques[edit]
- I want to get a tip around 20-30 um in size
- This is possible by doing a one sided pull and then breaking the tip
- The following settings were used with the P-97 in the basement: Velocity 140, Time 100, Pressure 200, Heat 740
- The pipette was loaded and pull was pressed. When the pipette begins to move, hold one side and use a little force on the other side. This should create a very long and narrow pipette tip.
- Now, use the tile to score and break
- Several distances were used, but scoring about a quarter to a third back from the end of the tip creates an ideal size.
