Chapter 1: Volumetric Glassware

Part 1

40 minutes

The viewer is introduced to each type of volumetric glassware and plasticware as well as micropipettes. The purpose of each is discussed, and the circumstances under which they are most accurate.

Part 2

40 minutes

In this section the correct use is described and demonstrated. The safety equipment (e.g. pipette fillers, etc) is described, and correct techniques to accurately fill and dispense explained.

Part 3

1 hour
Graded

Glassware must be cleaned, maintained, and inspected regularly. Damaged glassware should be discarded. Glassware should be verified/calibrated before being put into service and verified again to prove integrity. We describe dilution calculations, how to select correct items and calculate uncertainty.
