Random error
Precision. Standard deviation of the average value of the dispensed volumes.
Remaining volume
Volume that cannot be aspirated from a vessel. The distance from the pipette tip to the vessel bottom,
defined in the software, and the defined immersion depth of the pipette tip in the liquid, must be observed.
Therefore, the pipette tip cannot aspirate the volume. The remaining volume depends on the vessel
geometry.
Reservoir
Reservoirs are used to hold reagents. Reservoirs are hung in a Reservoir Rack or placed directly on the
worktable.
S
SafeRack
Rack with ep.T.I.P.S. Motion pipette tips. The SafeRack features a partition that prevents the contamination
of adjacent tips. Use the SafeRacks if you would like to use tips several times.
Source labware
Labware that liquid is aspirated from during the application. Source labware refers to a plate or rack.
Source position
Position that liquid is aspirated from during the application.
Source vessel
The vessel from which liquid is aspirated during the application.
Sterile
Sterile is an Eppendorf AG purity grade for consumables. Sterile meets the requirements for standard
products, e.g., precision, accuracy, wetting behavior, tightness. Sterile also meets the requirements with
regard to sterility and freedom from pyrogens.
Systematic error
Accuracy. Deviation of the average value of the dispensed volumes from the selected volume.
T
Thermoadapter
Heat-conductive adapter for holding plates.
Thermoblock
A thermoadapter that is permanently connected to a PCR plate or PCR tube.
Thermorack
Temperable rack for smaller vessels, e.g., Safe-Lock tubes for 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL or 2 mL.
