Application Note: How to Avoid Contamination in Pipetting

Author(s)Sartorius

Preventing contamination in pipetting is paramount to achieving reliable results. It requires identification of the potential contamination mechanism in order that they can all be addressed. This paper addresses the three contamination types that originate from pipetting: Pipette-to-sample contamination, sample-to-pipette contamination, and sample-to-sample contamination. Keep in  mind: If your testing procedure in your Cannabis environment  requires you to repeatedly portion out exact volumes of liquids involved, our bottle-top dispensers will give you a steady hand to ensure accurate and consistent results.

Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
