A zeta (ζ)-pipet tip to reduce the spontaneously induced electrical charge of a dispensed aqueous droplet

We report that the zeta potential of a pipet tip's inner surface is one of the crucial parameters for controlling the electrical charge of the dispensed droplet. Since the charge is unexpected and undesirable for most experiments in various fields of science and, thereby, they can cause unsuspe...

520 |a We report that the zeta potential of a pipet tip's inner surface is one of the crucial parameters for controlling the electrical charge of the dispensed droplet. Since the charge is unexpected and undesirable for most experiments in various fields of science and, thereby, they can cause unsuspected problems, reducing the charge on a dispensed droplet is important for the results of pipetting-based experiments. We fabricate a graphene-based nanocomposite-coated pipet tip, which we called a zeta-pipet tip, as a proof-of-concept example to reduce the zeta potential of the pipet tip's inner surface. The fabricated zeta-pipet tip can successfully mitigate the undesired droplet separation in the droplet merging experiments in an oil bath, which is one of the unexpected effects caused by the electrification. The findings of this study provide helpful guidelines for researchers in many fields of science and technology, who utilize a pipet tip in their respective experiments
