PIPETTE Meaning and
Definition
-
A pipette is a laboratory instrument commonly used for transferring a specific and accurate volume of liquid. It typically consists of a long and narrow cylindrical glass or plastic tube with a fine tapered tip, known as a pipette tip, at one end. Pipettes are classified into different categories based on their mode of operation and volume range.
One type of pipette is the manual pipette, which requires the user to manually introduce and release liquid by operating a plunger or button. These pipettes offer various volume options, ranging from microliters to milliliters, and are used in numerous scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and genetics. Some manual pipettes can be adjusted to dispense volumes of different sizes.
Another category of pipettes is the electronic or motorized pipettes, which offer increased precision and ease of use compared to manual ones. These pipettes feature built-in motors for aspiration and dispensing, allowing the user to accurately control the volume with the assistance of a digital screen or controls.
Pipettes are essential tools in laboratories where accuracy and reproducibility of liquid transfers are critical. They are used for conducting experiments, preparing solutions, diluting samples, and a multitude of other tasks. Pipettes are designed to provide reliable and precise measurements, ensuring that liquids are transferred with minimal error and contamination.
