The Future of Pipetting: Trends and Innovations in 2025
While working in a laboratory, pipetting is observed as a simple yet crucial laboratory technique. This has also undergone a remarkable evolution over the years. In the initial introduction of micropipettes, it was a mouth pipetting technique to the advent of manual and electronic pipettes.
This has also been observed with evolution, the quest for accuracy widened. This also made lab technicians crave for accuracy, efficiency, and user-friendliness. It also played a major role in driving innovation in this field.
As we step into 2025, there are several exciting trends and innovations which will reshape the overall future of pipetting. This blog is all about the new innovations that are integrated in the laboratory for pipetting which makes experiment procedures easy and seamless for the technicians.
Innovations in Laboratory projecting Future of Pipetting
Without further ado, let's have a look on a latest additions in the laboratory liquid handling equipments for the future of pipetting,
Smart Pipettes
One of the most significant trends in pipetting is the emergence of smart pipettes. These advanced pipettes are equipped with sensors, microprocessors, and wireless connectivity, enabling lab technicians to collect and transmit data in real-time. This data can include information about pipetting volumes, speeds, and even the type of liquid being handled.
Smart pipettes offer several advantages such as enhancing accuracy and reducing errors by providing feedback to the user and automatically adjusting for variations in liquid viscosity or density. They can also align workflows by integrating with laboratory information management systems and other software platforms. This can also further allow for seamless data transfer and analysis, reducing the need for manual record-keeping.
In the coming future, as observed, smart and mechanical pipette are likely to become even more sophisticated, with features such as voice control, augmented reality interfaces, and artificial intelligence-powered guidance. These advancements will further enhance the user experience and make pipetting more efficient and intuitive.
Automation
Among all the innovations, automation can be termed as one of the key trends that can play a significant role in transforming the landscape of pipetting. Automated liquid handling systems are now widely used in high-throughput applications like drug discovery, genomics, and proteomics.
You might think that automated pipetting systems might affect experiment procedures. But these systems can perform a variety of pipetting tasks with minimal human intervention, freeing up researchers and technicians to focus on more complex and creative aspects of their work.
The future can observe development of more compact and affordable systems, as well as the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence. These advancements will make it possible to automate even more complex pipetting tasks, such as cell sorting and sample preparation for next-generation sequencing.
Miniaturization
Similar to automation, it is miniaturization which makes research more focused on analyzing smaller and smaller samples. There is a growing need for pipetting solutions that can handle microliter and nanoliter volumes with precision.
Their micropipette devices can be helpful devices to manipulate and analyze tiny volumes of liquids, opening up new possibilities in fields such as single-cell analysis and point-of-care diagnostics. In future, we can expect observations on further development of the smallest of all pipetting technologies.
The future of pipetting can be perfect with the use of acoustic dispensing and inkjet printing. These techniques will enable even more precise and efficient handling of small volumes, paving the way for new discoveries in various fields of research.
Ergonomics and User Experience
The accuracy and efficiency can be seen as critical points while working on pipetting methods in the laboratory. Along with this, the importance of ergonomics and user experience should not be overlooked. If the pipetting tasks are not in an ergonomic situation, this can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and other health problems.
Looking towards ergonomic structure and user experience can play a significant role in designing pipettes that are comfortable to use. In the coming years, we can observe more emphasis on ergonomic design in pipetting. This can further include features like adjustable pipetting force and intuitive user interface, it can also keep the hand movement ergonomic and keep your wrist safe from jerks and muscle tension.
Sustainability
World is moving towards sustainability, this is also developing awareness of environmental issues, which is further increasing the focus on sustainability even in the laboratory. This also includes reducing the use of disposable plastics and minimizing waste.
In the laboratory while using pipettes, this translates to the development of more sustainable pipettes and tips. Manufacturers are exploring the use of biodegradable and recyclable materials as well as developing systems for reusing pipette tips. Along with this, using them can save much time in preparing new setup, at times which can affect the experiment accuracy.
This is also projecting towards the future, which is to expect innovations in sustainable pipetting that includes the use of closed-loop systems that minimize waste and conserve resources. It is also an enhanced way to pipetting, further improving the laboratory standards.
Conclusion
With all the innovations and transformations, the future of pipetting seems bright. There are various trends and innovations while projecting a transformation that is also elevating the experiment procedures conducted by the lab technicians.
The process of including smart pipettes with suitable automation, and following ergonomic techniques, these can drive progress in the laboratory industry. Further they can also play a major role in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency throughout the experiment procedure.
As we move forward, we can expect to see pipetting become more accurate, efficient, user-friendly, and environmentally responsible. These advancements will not only benefit researchers and laboratory professionals but also contribute to breakthroughs in various fields of science and medicine.

So, I've been thinking about it, and you only really need to know 2 things about Micah in order to understand him as a person.
The 1st is that if you asked him what he cares about most in this world, he would tell you that the ONLY thing he cared about was his own survival, and that he would throw anyone and everyone he's ever loved under the bus if it ensured his survival. He'd tell you that he'd lie, and steal, and manipulate, and kill if it kept him alive, and it doesn't matter how many times his actions directly contradict that belief, because you will NEVER convince him otherwise. He will risk his life just to make someone else happy, then look them dead in the eye and call himself the most selfish person who's ever lived, and he truly believes that about himself with every fiber of his being. He thinks he's a horrible person for SURVIVING.
The 2nd thing you need to know to understand him is that he cares WAY too much about what other people think of him, and it's not because he's insecure. He views himself as very competent and intelligent, and he takes pride in that, but he has an undying NEED for other people to KNOW that he's intelligent and competent. He desperately craves approval, and he's been STARVED of it for a long time, so Micah will do incredibly stupid things to prove to people how smart he is.
So, Micah views himself as someone who is extremely competent at being horrible, and it is BOTH a source of pride and shame for him.

did you know that molecular biology chemicals can go extinct?
the most versatile way to visualize proteins in an organism is by creating antibodies (i.e., immune system proteins) that will bind to that protein and nothing else. some of these antibodies are produced only by one cell strain, maintained and distributed by a single lab somewhere, and if that strain gets contaminated, or dies out, or just stops making the antibody, it’s gone for good.
this is most often the case with older antibodies, because they weren't produced with any DNA or protein sequence in mind--the cells in question were just given an antigen (i.e., the protein you want the glowing antibodies to bind to) to fight, with basically no idea which *part* of the protein that antibody might be recognizing. ergo, you could only replicate it by starting from scratch.
it would be a good scam, though. you could make a killing by selling counterfeit vintage antibodies and then telling the researchers who write angry emails about how it didn’t work that their lab must not be clean enough, or they left it out of the fridge for too long, or whatever.
I'm an undergrad with barely pocket money to my name and even I would spend a hundred bucks on a quarter of a milliliter of FGF/Wnt binding fluorescent protein. but afaik it no longer exists!
#biology#in fairness. a quarter of a milliliter is 250 microliters which is TEN TIMES the volume antibodies usually come in

Bring Me Home, Chapter 2 Part 3
A little shorter this week. I had my graduation ceremony over the weekend and the opportunity to hang out with my sister-in-law for the first time in a few months! (She and my brother moved states a few months back.) If you scroll down a bit, you'll be able to see how I decorated my graduation cap! I love how it turned out.
But you don't care about that. It's Wednesday! Time for a WIP Wednesday segment!
Story Summary: Tim and Danny are both neglected by parents who care more about their work than their families. They deal with this by spending too much time online and find each other playing MMORPGs. They keep up their friendship as Tim becomes Robin and Danny becomes Phantom and don't bother keeping secrets from each other.
First, Previous
Word Count: 1k
----------
Unable to get Tim’s attention, Conner asked, “Who’s Technus?”
Danny shrugged. “One of my rogues. Tuck thinks he’s the ghost of Nikolai Tesla. He’s interested in controlling all technology and will make himself a giant mechasuit cannibalized from any electronic he can find in, like, a half mile radius. Super annoying.”
Tim hummed. “You didn’t tell me about him being Nikolai Tesla.”
“It’s a new hypothesis of Tuck’s. He’s been trying to research all the ghosts that come through as part of our profiles on them. That involves trying to figure out who they might’ve been in life. We’re hoping it’ll help me deescalate confrontations to cut back on property damage. Thanks to my parents talking about how evil all ghosts are, no one trusts Phantom and I get blamed for everything.”
Tim reached out and squeezed Danny’s shoulder. Practically everything Danny ever said about his parents made him like them less. To change the subject before he learned something else that’d make him want to attack Jack and Maddie while they were under the same roof, he asked, “So why does ectoplasm harm electronics anyway?”
Danny seemed to lean into his touch. “Well, ectoplasm is complicated. It is generated in this dimension but doesn’t really belong here. It comes about through death and leads the way to the Ghost Zone. At least… that’s the hypothesis I think is the most likely. I’ve only really been studying it for a few months since my own accident, though.” He shook his head. “Anyway! When it interacts with things on Earth that aren’t trying to get to the Zone, things get weird. Especially with non-sentient things that can’t will the ectoplasm to act in a specific way. Even animals can exert some control over ectoplasm. But electronics can’t.”
It was only a few minutes more before Danny had completely disassembled the phone. He then grabbed another pipette and adjusted the volume and added ectoplasm to certain pieces. Then took a third size and did it all over again.
“How on earth did you find out how much to add?” asked Bart. “You’re changing quantities constantly.”
“Trial and error. Long and tedious trial and error. We tried dipping sections in the ectoplasm to start, but that generally fried the tech and mutated its function. Wires do do best with submersion, though. No more than a second or two for small ones. Even after we stopped submersion, we started by adding way too much—spreading it over the entire chip. But that also didn’t work. Realized just half a microliter applied to the connections was best. The camera, speaker, and microphone need more. Those get ten microliters apiece. And we just kept trying different amounts until we had something that worked. We ruined four phones before we started testing each component individually.”
Conner let out a low whistle. “Well we’re glad you have. Thanks for helping with this.”
“Of course. Anything for Tim.”
Tim’s face heated as Cassie laughed. “Yeah, our Tim has a way of winning people over, doesn’t he?”
“I think I won him over, actually.” Danny hung the pipette back up on the holder. “All right, now just to put this baby back together. Who’s hungry?”
“Me!” called Bart. “It’s been ages since we’ve last eaten.”
“You’ve got an accelerated metabolism, right? We’ll stop by a store and get some extra stuff if you need anything overnight or tomorrow.”
“I like you,” said Bart. “You should come with us when we leave. Join our team.”
Tim buried his face in his hands, did none of his teammates know the definition of subtlety? Offering Danny a place with the Teen Titans or Young Justice was the first thing he tried.
“Thanks for the offer, but as I’ve told Tim, I can’t leave Amity. No one else is capable of responding to ghost threats.”
Conner shook his head. “Looks like your parents have it under control.”
Danny laughed. “Oh hell no. They’ve got a lot of inventions and most of them do something. But it’s not always what they expect them to do. And dad’s aim is terrible.” As he spoke, he continued to reassemble Tim’s phone.
Tim couldn’t help but admire how expertly Danny’s fingers moved over the pieces. And before he knew it, Danny was handing the phone back to him.
“Should work now. Turn it on and double check.”
Tim took it and held the power button until the WE logo appeared. Sure enough, once the screen loaded, so did a dozen missed phone calls and even more missed texts.
Bruce, Dick, and Barbara had all attempted contact multiple times. Even Alfred had called once. He winced and immediately called Bruce back.
“Hey, B,” he said as soon as the call connected. “We’re all fine. Just crossed an area that messed with our tech.”
“How did it mess with your tech?” Bruce demanded.
“It’s normal in this area. But I’ve a local friend and he fixed my phone. He’ll take care of Conner’s, Cassie’s, and Bart’s after we grab some dinner. So if anyone else is worried, tell them we’re fine and they can call me in the meantime if they have questions.” Tim made sure to use civilian names so Bruce would know they were no longer in costume.
“Who is this ‘friend’?” asked Bruce.
“God, B, it’s fine. I’ve known him for years. We game online together when we can. Have since we were kids.”
“Hn.” Why was it so much harder to read Bruce over the phone than in person? It was so annoying. “I see. Where are you currently?”
“We’re in Illinois. Will probably stay here a day or two with Danny and his parents. And then we’ll come home and share everything about our trip.” Aka, submit an official report about the outcome of their mission.
“Very well. I expect to know all the details. And I want twice daily check-ins until you’re home.”
“Fine, fine. Will do. Bye, B.” Before Bruce could demand anything else, Tim hung up on him. Next he shot texts to Dick, Alfred, and Barbara assuring them he was fine and his phone was working again. Replies came instantly and he ignored them all. “All right, that’s done. Let’s go eat.”
---------
Next
I think this is the first time I've had an actual scene break to stop the segment at. I usually just go until I see a change in the conversation, but I've got my <hr> marker at this point and there's gonna be a scene change! (So I won't have to repeat a paragraph or two next time I post.)
You get a different explanation for ectoplasm in this fic! Wasn't planning on that, but it happened and I like it.
Hope you enjoyed.

(JJBA LotL AU) I redrew it because I wanted to. Link to the original that’s (wheezes) two years old now (link).
Acanthite (Sorbet) is shattered by Lunarians while trying to protect Orthoclase (Gelato). A hardness of 2.5 meant it didn’t take much. Parts recovered and reassembled.
Anatase (Illuso) is accidentally covered in Cerussite's (Fugo) toxic metal. Parts need to be carved off and Anatase ends up losing some memory but ultimately recovers.
Wavellite (Pesci) is shattered in a fight against Lunarians, Celsian (Prosciutto) already damaged. The Lunarians were defeated but recovering Wavellite’s body from the sea took a bit of time.
Celsian (Prosciutto) heavily damaged in a fight against the Lunarians. Watched Wavellite nearly being abducted and attempted to fight but ultimately the others got rid of the Lunarians.
Strengite (Melone) shot with a Lunarians arrow through the mouth. Strange attack as Strengite is a long distance weapon fighter and he was positioned in the building looking for the Lunarians.
Arctite (Ghiaccio) shot through the neck with a Lunarian arrow.
Microlite (Formaggio) severely damaged during a fight with Lunarians, especially to the face where both eyes ended up damaged and attempted to battle blind. Recovered.
Orthoclase (Gelato) caught in a Lunarian trap as Acanthite was damaged. Orthoclase being the soldier and Acanthite not took a mental toll.
And finally Eucryptite (Risotto) damaged in a downpour of Lunarian arrows.
All of them were recovered 😌.

The most recent culture of the Upper Palaeolithic (the Late Upper Palaeolithic) in western and Central Europe is the Magdalenian, 20,000 - 12,500 years ago.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a5d26f9fcf2626ccb962c3e4d72f123e/ed6b3984656d3543-81/s500x750/2af2e59ebdeb7428de843489595ecbbff12cf75f.jpg)
A man of the Moravian Magdalenian. He holds a spear-thrower using the principle of leverage, and a spear with a bone projectil point with saw-like razor-sharp microlites. The horses on his clothing are depicted according to a decorated object found in the Pekárna Cave (the Moravian Karst).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/856ac6bc78a91d97e0aa308a9f9c6aa6/ed6b3984656d3543-e6/s540x810/085a638b86bb4b3696f0b53503c93249dd0830aa.jpg)
In front of the tent in the Pekárna in Moravian Karst cave. The large cave didn´t espace notice of the Magdalenian hunters, which were tracking the cariboos herds around the karst areas. In the cave of Pekárna, the rank of fireplaces was discovered across the corridor, which was probably the standing place of the tents. The cave climate was convenient for fabrication of the cariboo meat. The karst area enabled the hunters to use the terrain for building perfect traps.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1e70483d427ed99f642fdc18f08e405b/ed6b3984656d3543-78/s500x750/1f52127091aa7829d834d0abb129b8bde40d604a.jpg)
Fascinating artefacts found in the Pekárna cave: tiny bone needles, Silicit tools, embedded into boned or horn handgrip, harpoons, blade-liked, decorated artefacts and fascinating portrayals of the scenes of the wildlife on the horse ribs (grazing horses, fighting bisons).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/18899515eb230c2de80961b32efe3c9c/ed6b3984656d3543-73/s540x810/b9a913497822e2929d7f612bc154da319fa819ed.jpg)
A camp of reindeer hunters of Petersfels
The picture takes us to southwest Germany, the well-known site of Petersfels by Engen. The narrow valley became a trap for hunted reindeer. Reindeer were killed there on a large scale, as the remains of their bones witness. The peculiarity of this picture is that the photographic studies were not created artificially, but were made just on the site, where well-versed fans displayed their home-made clothes, tents and Magdalenian weapons
Notice the antler heads of the throwing weapons, which were made so well that they can be compared with the artistic level of carving in butts of the recent firearms.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/25e0351a1b41e4f91b6b3bd2eb6997fd/ed6b3984656d3543-b6/s540x810/537f4c28d8e26cea14b1bf36088b8c241db53bfb.jpg)
One of the most beautiful and imaginative engravings on the thrower represents two fighting Capricorns. The Trois Frères cave in France. The image reconstruction represents the artefact in it´s original form (the heads of the Capricorns are not preserved).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1ecc014da7b30b7494bdddc8d8992c48/ed6b3984656d3543-0e/s540x810/69cab979038d25b49530b2e11bfc568c91f0c951.jpg)
A Magdalenian bone points with microlites A bone point from the Drátenická Cave in the Moravian karst. This artefact is now in the Institute Anthropos, which is a part of the Moravian Museum (Moravské zemské muzeum) in Brno. You can see (the lower part to the right) an impression of the former careful and fine binding. The reconstruction depicts the procedure of its piecing together.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/17146244194b9e35eefefb316cf465ad/ed6b3984656d3543-3e/s540x810/8a3420eac155a22cc895c9fa44f8226141999705.jpg)
The convenient terrain helps during the hunting. The Northern societies often hadn´t have enough members for driving the gregarious animals. Therefore, they built stone pillars, which the hunted cariboos were not able to distinguish from the hunter.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8e0a1ad529b0b40f6c1d998da746a9b8/ed6b3984656d3543-a6/s540x810/10bfdf3de746e95e328c10a9d3f27d2bf6be388d.jpg)
The bone needles found in abundance both in Petersfels and the Moravian Karst are different from those of the Gravettian. The woman in the picture is sewing a piece of clothing using an awl and a needle. The man is repairing the bone point of a weapon. He easily replaces individual broken segments of the cutting edge with new ones. To the left from him, there is his equipment, such as throwing weapons, lamps, a chieftain’s baton, a flute and bone points.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3a6e97d00395193a54231c71ca01fe00/ed6b3984656d3543-db/s500x750/9422d97e159c8ed4291cdb6a1e78d6be482e96d4.jpg)
The reconstructional imitations of clothes dating back to the era of the Magdalenian reindeer and horse hunters. The first clothing is exhibited in the Museum of Engen. You can see decorative patterns made according to an ornamented shovel-like object found in the Moravian Karst on the right clothing.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/36781b120f74d0fcf0e0c3b7998922ec/ed6b3984656d3543-6a/s540x810/fae1ddc425391d3976c0a33fbe185344ef83f0ac.jpg)
A spear-thrower was ideal for hunting animals living in herds, such as horses and reindeer. It was capable of shooting a maximum amount of projectiles within a minimal period of time. The accuracy of shots at a mass of running bodies was unimportant, the work was completed by sharp points. Most likely massive stone pillars were used when driving reindeer. Reindeer avoided them in the same way as they avoided people. That is why the Magdalenians preferred such environment where limestone screes, of which they erected the pillars, were available, e.g. outcrops of limestone, which are characteristic of the karst areas. The whole life of these people was closely connected with animals living in herds, and it formed their culture. The Magdalenian settlements came to Central Europe, namely to Poland, 16,000 years ago and to Moravia about 13,000 years ago
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6c6a8d88a415c1cb26e9eb3883685a60/ed6b3984656d3543-63/s540x810/74f39108f94621028c16c9f8a451fae3e7d41988.jpg)
The representation of women, the unmistakable Magdalenian Venuses, was quite curious. Women’s figurines hardly bore any detail, they were often just outlined, and their bottoms were always stuck out. Some small figurines had holes for hanging.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a58fb6eca45207850cbe7ed8d67404c2/ed6b3984656d3543-d7/s540x810/f5fc3a8075c2bcc828d3a6d1b1a1575cd4da0564.jpg)
One of the few Magdalenian Venuses that provided at least some information about her hairdo.

The Science behind pipetting techniques: Why accuracy matters?
Pipettes are considered as one of the important parts of the lab procedures and experiments. This can elevate the overall experience of the lab technician by making the process seamless, which can provide accurate results with precision.
The major micropipette use is for pipetting which acts as a support through the experiment process. There is a science behind the pipetting process, which follows by creating a vacuum that helps suck up liquid through the tip.
Let’s find out why accuracy matters while using pipettes during the experiment procedure, in every setting such as in a lifesciences laboratory or a diagnostic center. This can let you know about the overview of pipetting techniques.
What are Pipetting Techniques?
The process of transferring liquids from one instrument to another can be done carefully, which minimizes the liquid loss. The way pipette used for liquid transfer is called Pipetting techniques.
Using pipettes for pipetting can be a useful way as they allow you to perform various tasks at once such as, setting volume levels, press plunger for picking up liquid, and dispense it to another instrument.
What's the Science in Pipetting?
The science of pipetting follows the principle of displacement, a piston is attached to the pipette that plays a significant role in creating a required vacuum by displacing air. This technique is used to transfer liquid in various volumes.
Along with the displaced air, liquid from the instrument is carried into the pipette tip. Following this, the pipette used in laboratory is taken to the dispensing jar and is dispensed carefully.
The tip used in the pipette is disposable which helps in preventing contamination. Furthermore, the piston contains marking for the liquid which is used to measure accurately.
Overall, the process is followed the required number of times for transferring liquids from one jar to another. It also keeps the liquid free from foreign elements and also prevents liquid loss.
Factors to consider for Accurate Pipetting
Accurate pipetting can be a process to achieve as this needs concentration while experimenting. This would be carried on by various factors that can be helpful for accurate pipetting. The factors responsible for pipetting are,
Angle of Aspiration When you hold the pipette in your hand carefully, check the amount of liquid in the instrument. While checking the marking on the pipette, immerse the tip vertically, as this would give accurate measurement without disturbances. By carefully checking the angle while picking liquid, it can provide enhanced precision with the use of pipette. This will prevent liquid loss and also give you accurate measurement of the liquid transferred.
Dispensing Speed You must be thinking, to prevent liquid loss you have to perform the process of transferring liquid quickly. But as per the science, for accurate pipetting slow processes can be helpful. The step by step process carefully can help avoid air bubble formation. Through this, you can experience seamless transfer of liquids, without losing a volume. It can also elevate the overall experiment procedures which can improve the precision in liquid transferring.
Immersion Depth During collecting liquids from the instrument, check the pipette tip and make sure that it is fully immersed in the liquid. Through this, you can also carefully transfer liquids without the presence of bubbles in your pipette. The experiment without bubbles can be helpful for preventing liquid loss. It can promote consistent delivery of the liquid from one instrument to another. Along with it, whether you are working in a lifesciences lab or diagnostic centres, you can get accurate liquid collection.
Conclusion
The science behind the uses of pipette is for achieving the accurate results that laboratory technicians crave for! The process includes various techniques of using pipette which can enhance the overall procedure of experimenting.
It can also provide the accurate precision that promotes pipetting procedures and gives error-free results. Along with this, this can save time in setting up instruments for experiment and prevent liquid loss while experimenting.
