Why is my BRAND Laboratory Equipment pipette tip leaking, or why is the volume too low?

S

If your BRAND Laboratory Equipment pipette tip is leaking or the volume is too low, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the tip is firmly pressed on and is a suitable, high-quality tip. A damaged V-ring (O-ring) on the single nose cone could also be the culprit, requiring replacement. Similarly, a damaged piston will also need replacing. Check for a dirty or damaged seal, and clean the instrument if it's dirty. Finally, consider whether you're using non-aqueous solutions, which may require adjustment.
