Abstract
A method for controlling an electronic pipette, which pipette comprises a piston actuated in a cylinder by a motor, which motor is controlled with a control system, which control system is controlled through a user interface for operating the pipette, wherein actual backlash affecting the movement of the piston of the electronic pipette is measured with a system located in the pipette, the measured backlash value is forwarded to the control system of the electronic pipette, and the movement of the piston is adjusted by the control system based on the measured backlash value.
