A pipette is a laboratory instrument designed to measure and transfer precise volumes of liquid. It is widely used in various fields such as biology, chemistry, and medicine for tasks that require high accuracy in volume measurement. Pipettes come in several forms, such as manual pipettes, micropipettes, and automatic pipettes. A pipette generally consists of a narrow tube, typically made from glass or durable plastics, with graduated markings for volume measurements. There are several types of pipettes, including volumetric pipettes for fixed volumes and graduated pipettes like serological pipettes for a range of volumes. The precision and accuracy of a pipette depend on the quality of its design and the material from which it is made, with plastic pipettes often being disposable, while glass pipettes are reusable after cleaning. Pipettes function through either suction mechanisms or by air displacement methods, and their tips can vary in size and material depending on the intended application.
