Lyophilized dye enables you to check the pipetting accuracy when you have a test solution that may have a higher or lower viscosity compared to water. Simply mix the lyophilized dye in your sample liquid, then use this solution with the Checkit Go 1 or Checkit Go 2 to measure the amount of the sample liquid that your automated liquid handler robot will actually dispense. Using this sample solution removes errors introduced by the differences in viscosity and/or surface tension between your sample liquid and water.
Steps:
- Resuspend the dye pellet in 4mL of your test solution.
- Use the resuspended solution to determine the accuracy of your robotic liquid handling system or hand pipettes.
