Abstract
A pipetting device has a pipetting channel extending along a channel path, in which a piston is accommodated to be movable along the channel path to change the pressure of a working gas that wets the piston on a dosing side facing the dosing liquid. The pipetting device includes a movement drive for driving the piston along the channel path and a control unit configured to operate the movement drive for pipetting a predetermined single dosing volume of less than 5 μl with the piston moving in the pipetting direction and its dosing side end face sweeping over a pipetting volume which is not less than 1.4 times greater than the single dosing volume, and subsequently moving in a counter pipetting direction and its dosing side end face sweeping over a counter pipetting volume, wherein not more than 50 ms elapse between beginning control signals.
