Oakland, California – September 19, 2013. METTLER TOLEDO has recently released a series of new video tutorials for laboratory professionals in academia. These 30-45 minute long videos provide insights into the topics of pipetting, weighing, pH determination and thermal analysis. One of the main topics is errors and measuring influences in the laboratory, focusing on how these can be avoided or compensated for.

In addition to the video tutorials, posters and other relevant information and supporting material can also be accessed via Mettler-Toledo’s website. A range of topics is discussed in detail in these exclusive video tutorials. These include the Good Pipetting Practice Tutorial, which gives further insights into the world of pipetting.
