Frequently Asked Questions

A pipette is an instrument used in laboratories for accurate measurement and transfer of tiny amounts of liquid.

Both are right. "Pipette" is the British spelling, whereas "pipet" is a frequent American one.

A pipet is used to accurately measure and transfer specified liquid amounts, usually for chemical research or experiments.

In accurate measurement and transfer of specific liquid amounts, typically in chemical research or experiments, a pipette is used.

A serological pipet is a specific kind of pipette used for accurate liquid transfer, usually in the range of 1 to 50 mL, a pipette is a general word for a device used for pouring liquids. Because serological pipets are graded throughout their length, accurate liquid measurement and dispensing are made possible.

In labs, the three primary kinds of pipettes that are frequently utilised are:

1. Volumetric Pipette

  • Made to precisely distribute a single, set amount of liquid.

  • Typically used in analytical chemistry to prepare standard solutions and make exact solutions.

  • Has a slim stem with a bulb in the centre.

2. Measuring or graduated pipette

  • Marked with a graduated scale to use and measure different liquid quantities.

  • Less precise than pipettes that use volume.

  • When great precision is not needed, this is helpful for adding approximate volumes.

3. Micropipette

  • Usually measured in microlitres (µL), this device is used to measure and transmit very tiny amounts.

  • frequently seen in medical laboratories, biochemistry labs, and molecular biology labs.

  • comes in fixed-volume and adjustable varieties, and usually calls for disposable tips.

Pipette's primary use is to accurately measure and move specified liquid quantities from one container to another. In labs, pipettes are crucial instruments for guaranteeing accuracy and consistency in processes and investigations, particularly when working with exact or tiny amounts.

 A dropper is a simple tool used to dispense liquid drop by drop, usually without precise measurement. A pipette is more precise and often calibrated for accurate volume measurements.

Particularly in chemistry, biology, and medical labs, a glass pipette is used for exact measurement and transfer of liquid quantities.

A pipette operates on the basis of vacuum suction or air displacement (in manual micropipettes), which produces a pressure differential that pulls liquid into the pipette when vacuum is applied and releases it when pressure is removed.
