How do I prevent fluid splashing when dispensing into a small vial, cuvette or microplate well?
A. Fluid splashing when dispensing is caused by the fluid being dispensed at a high velocity. The fluid velocity can be decreased by either reducing the drive RPM or by changing the dispense tip to one with a larger orifice. Dispense tip design can have an influence on the velocity and pattern of dispensing to reduce splashing as well.
