to check the accuracy and precision of the micropipetters that you plan to use. A very simple way to do this is by weighing the volume of water actually transferred by a micropipetter at a given setting. Water has a density of 0.9986 g/mL at room temperature, so you can use the mass of the water transferred to determine the accuracy of your pipetter (as long as your balance is reliable of course....), and by repeating the test several times, you can determine the precision of the micropetter as well

the FPDIC (Floating Point Divide Instructions) on the Pentium processor produce inaccurate results. * The error can occur in any of the three operating precisions, namely single, double, or extended, for the divide instruction. However it has been noted that far fewer failures are found in a single precision than double or extended precisions. * The incidence of the problem is independent of the processor rounding modes. * The occurrence of the problem is highly dependent on the input data
