How do we get there?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-03/Trilliant HC Electrically Conductive Formulations for Pipette Tips Application Bulletin.pdf
This enables accurate readings, reduces static
discharge, and drives repeatable part performance.
Less tendency to flash results in improved
appearance and less fluid retention in or on the tip,
thus driving greater accuracy and less potential for
cross-contamination.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/colormatrix-optica-toner-dispersions-tech-bulletin-a4.pdf
The use of heat in an attempt
to drive the toner into solution will result in a
dispersion which is in a state of super saturation.
Consideration should be given to the desirability
of using a filter mesh in the preparation set-up
bearing in mind the stated particle size of the
dispersion and the likelihood of particulate
agglomeration if preparation guidelines are not
observed.
