Types of Pipettes

There are several different types of pipettes, including:

  • Volumetric Pipette: These pipettes deliver one specific volume of liquid and are designed for great precision. They are typically used in quantitative labs, especially for preparing solutions and standardizing chemicals.
  • Graduated Pipette: These pipettes have a scale along the side allowing variable amounts of liquid to be delivered. They are less accurate than volumetric pipettes.
  • Micropipette: These are used to transfer small quantities of liquid. They are often used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and medical tests.
  • Pasteur Pipette: These are simple plastic or glass tubes that have a narrow tip on one end and a rubber bulb on the other. They can be used to transfer or mix a variety of liquids.

Usage

Pipettes are used in a variety of scientific disciplines, including chemistry, biology, and medicine. They are essential tools in the laboratory for the precise and accurate measurement and transfer of liquid volumes.
