6 Troubleshooting
79
Controlling Pipette Tip Shapes
79
Problem: What Type of Glass Should be Used
79
Problem: the Resistance of Pulled Pipettes Is too Low. How Can a Higher-Resistance Pipette be Pulled
79
Problem: How Can Tips be Made Even Smaller
79
Problem: How Can the Size of a Patch-Pipette be Increased
80
Problem: Patch-Pipette Tips Vary in Size from Pull to Pull
80
Problem: Difficulty Making an Injection Pipette with a 0.5 - 1 MM Tip that also Has a very Short Final Taper and Tip (20 to 50 MM Long). How Can this be Done
80
Problem: the Electrodes Are Bent. How Can They be Made to Pull Straight
80
Problem: One Electrode Is Much Longer than the Other Electrode
80
Problem: the Shape and Resistance of the Pipette Changes from Pull to Pull
