Question 1

How much and how many solutions can I put in one BioPen pipette tip?

Celine Billerit · Accepted Answer

Each BioPen pipette tip can be loaded with up to 4 different solutions at one time. The BioPen pipette tip contains 8 wells: 4 wells containing solutions for delivery and 4 wells for collection of waste.

Each well can contain up to 35 μl of solution, although 20-30 μl is recommended for ease of handling. Less than 10 μl of solution is not recommended, as it is difficult to purge the BioPen pipette tip with such little solution in the well. Liquid must be placed into all 4 solution wells. If fewer than 4 solutions are needed, the remaining solution wells should be filled with a buffer or alternative aqueous solution.
