The frequency of pipette tip replacement depends on several factors, including:
- Type of Liquid: Tips used with corrosive or viscous liquids may need to be replaced more frequently.
- Frequency of Use: Tips that are used frequently may wear out faster.
- Sensitivity of Application:For highly sensitive applications, it may be advisable to replace tips more frequently to minimize the risk of contamination.
- Visual Inspection:Regularly inspect tips for signs of wear, such as cracks, dents, or discoloration. If you notice any damage, replace the tip.
As a general rule, it is recommended to replace pipette tips regularly, even if they appear to be in good condition. This can help to prevent contamination and ensure accurate liquid transfers.
