Liquid handling – FAQs

Liquid handling aims at transferring a solution or reagent completely, accurately, and precisely from one place to another.

Liquid handling systems are used in different laboratory settings, such as for titrations, voltammetric or ion chromatographic measurements, and for sample preparation procedures. A wide range of applications and tasks, including dosing samples, supporting synthesis control or creating standards, use automated liquid handling techniques, such as pipetting, transferring, or diluting.

Liquid handling offers various benefits:

Improved reliability and precision of measurements
Small amounts can be dosed repeatably and accurately due to the high resolution
Better reproducibility of results
Traceable documentation of each dosing step
Reduced risk of human error
Automation options for increasing throughput

Electronic piston burets are by far more accurate than any glassware usually used in an analytical lab. The resolution of the dosing drives in combination with the precise glass cylinders result in a piston buret that can easily fulfill the DIN EN ISO 8655 «Piston-operated volumetric apparatus» Part 3.

Depending on the chosen drive and cylinder, the smallest possible dosing step you can achieve with a Metrohm piston buret is 0.02 µL. This is 2,500 times smaller than the pharmaceutical definition of a drop (50 µL).
