In research involving pipetting, it has, on occasion, often been the case that experimental results were not easily reproducible, even though all variables within the experimental procedure have undergone a thorough review. 

So in these instances, can it be said that all sources of error have truly been accounted for? In many cases the assumption is made that the pipetting system, consisting of pipette and pipette tip, is not a source of error as long as the tip fits the pipette. However, even if this is the case, it does not guarantee that the pipetting result will be accurate. Therefore, with good reason, the international standard...
