Metric System:

• The prefixes you really need to know: kilo, milli, micro, nano
• Move the decimal place 3 to the right to go to a smaller prefix (i.e., milli to micro)
• Move the decimal place 3 to the left to go to a larger prefix (i.e., nano to micro)

 

The Micropipettors:

• P20 -- max 20 microliters -- top digit is tens of uLs
  (max reading of "200" means 20 uL, otherwise top digit can only be set to 0 or 1)
• P200 -- max 200 microliters -- top digit is hundreds of uLs
  (max reading of "200" means 200 uL, otherwise top digit can only be set to 0 or 1)
• P1000 -- max 1000 microliters -- top digit is thousands of uLs
  (max reading of "1000" means 1000 uL, otherwise top digit can only be set to 0)

Be careful with those pipettes!!!
