Single-Blind Research Method. The Single-Blind research method is a specific research procedure in which the researchers (and those involved in the study) do not tell the participants if they are being given a test treatment or a control treatment. This is done in order to ensure that participants don't bias the results by acting in ways they think they should act.
They provide accurate measurements of very small volumes of liquids in the userâs quest to obtain correct test results. But pipettes are mechanical devices that require regular calibration service to maintain their accuracy and precision. The similarities are not unlike the maintenance of your car. Without regular service and repair, your car can break down, leave you stranded and result in high repair costs. Pipettes are no different.
Volumetric Pipettes Volumetric pipettes labeled TD (to deliver) at the upper end are designed to deliver the volume stated on the pipette. There will always be a small amount of liquid inside the tip after pipetting. If this liquid is blown out you will have delivered slightly more than the designed capacity of the pipette. Almost all of our pipettes are TD pipettes. However, other types do exist: Pipettes labeled TC (to contain) are designed to contain the volume stated on the pipette. Therefore, all liquid on a TC pipette should be expelled to obtain the desired volume.
