Serology is the application of micro-trends in ecological technology. For example, if you are working in an animal research facility, you will most likely have a variety of urological instrumentation. The majority of these instruments will attach to a serological pump. The problem with many of these instruments is that they are often awkward to work with. This is where automation pipette tips come into play! They have been a revelation in the field of laboratory and medical research. Their usage comes in great handy when you need to pour a liquid from one container to another with a narrow head, like a tube. Pipettes are used a great deal in laboratories to pour out or mix liquids in controlled quantities for experiments.
Tips
Make sure your pump is compatible. Most pump systems can be incorporated with many different types of tips, including centrifuges, flexes, pneumatic, and electrical. These tips are especially important if your serological system will be pumping blood from one vial to another. As long as the tubing is compatible, your system should work fine. If you are unsure, contact a professional to do it for you. Tips are an important part of the pipette, and their purpose helps the process move faster and smoother. (Cepin, 2021)Connector TipsÂ
Serological pipette tips are generally conical. They provide an extra degree of resistance that helps keep your equipment from breaking when falling to the ground. The conical design also makes it easier to thread through the tubing. You can thread these through your tubing very simply. The purpose for having conical tips is that their shape helps them pour liquids into narrow holdings. This prevents overflow, spillage, or leakage when transferring the liquids from one container to another.
Serological Pipette
Serological pipettes have a rounded tip like a blender gun. These are used to mix solid materials like antiseptic ointments and medicines. To serve this material in a cup, you can use a syringe or a serrated spoon. To fill this type of piping with a liquid, you can puncture the end so the liquid leaks out through the small holes. To serve polystyrene, you can put the bottle of the substance on the end of the piping.
Plunger
A plunger is a long, narrow syringe. It can be used to draw out a liquid by means of a needle. You should use the plunger tip to draw the substance. The first stop of a plunger must be at the bottom of the cup. When you are done drawing out the liquid, you can put a second stop in order to prevent the overflow of the liquid.
Mixing
If you are going to serve medical material using this serological pipetting technique, it is best to prepare all the elements at the same temperature. Using a thermometer to measure temperature at the first and the last stop is not advisable because you will cause the mixing process to go haywire. The mixing process takes place inside a container full of sand, gravel, or dirt. The container must be larger than the main component that is being mixed because it is the solid material that is poured into the container that causes the process to expand and contract. If you do not have a thermometer or a container to pour the material into, then make sure you mix all the elements at the same temperature so that the mixture will be consistent.
Automation pipette tips have the advantage of pouring out liquids consistently, repetitively and in the same quantities for as long as you want. Older pipettes required manual handling, which often led to an uncontrolled liquid amount being transferred. For very specific lab experiments, volumes have to be very accurate. This is why automation pipette tips are so popular in research laboratories. Their accuracy helps researchers work carefree.
