How to Avoid Contamination in Pipetting
Preventing contamination in pipetting is paramount to achieving reliable results. It requires identification of the potential contamination mechanisms in order that they can all be addressed.
This paper addresses the three contamination types that originate from pipetting, pipette-to-sample contamination, sample-to-pipette contamination, and sample-to-sample contamination and discusses strategies for avoiding each.

How to Pipette PCR Master Mix for Increased Accuracy in qPCR Results
Pipetting technique can influence qPCR assay results. PCR Master mix is routinely used during qPCR set-up but can be challenging to pipette accurately. In this study, we determined the best pipetting technique for pipetting Master mix in qPCR assays. We tested forward and reverse pipetting techniques, the type of pipette tips, pre-wetting of the pipette tip, and the use of electronic pipettes and identified best practices for obtaining accurate qPCR results.
