What is the purpose of using a disposable tip on the micropipette? a. The disposable tip prevents the formation of air bubbles, which can interfere with your measurements. b. The plunger of the micropipette cannot be pushed down unless a disposable tip is attached. c. The disposable tip ensures that no liquid gets into the shaft of the micropipette. d. The disposable tip contains the volume markings and so without it measurements would be inaccurate.

Micropipettes are intended to measure out volumes above 50ml. False Question 2 What can you use to adjust the volume of liquid a micropipette sucks up? Pick all that apply: The push button/plunger on the top of the pipette, The thumbwheel, The tip ejector, The disposable tip. Question 3 On a P20O (20-200ul volume range), what does the number at the very top of the 3-digit display represent? Tens of microliters, Units of microliters, Single microliters, Tenths of a microliter.
