Abstract

In cell experimental operations, pipetting is one of the most common basic procedures. Hydrodynamic factors during pipetting, such as flow rate, shear force, and pressure changes, can exert multiple effects on cell status (including many adverse impacts). This article comprehensively elaborates on the relevant principles of pipetting hydrodynamics, as well as its influences on cell morphology, viability, proliferation, differentiation and other states. It also explores methods that can effectively reduce adverse effects and optimize pipetting operations, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the standardization and precision of pipetting in cell experiments, and promote the improvement of the accuracy and reliability of cell experiments.
