Positive-displacement technology, like that used in our MICROMAN® E pipettes, is ideal when working with infectious, viscous, foaming, hot, cold, or volatile liquids because the disposable piston within the capillary piston (CP) tip is in direct contact with the sample. The CP technology thus removes any air cushion inside the pipette and ensures the volume accuracy is not affected by the fluid's properties.
