What is a serological pipette?

A serological pipette is a type of glass or plastic pipette commonly used in laboratories for measuring and transferring liquids. It is typically graduated along its length, allowing for accurate measurement of liquid volumes. Serological pipettes come in various sizes, generally ranging from 1 mL to 50 mL, and are used for transferring relatively larger volumes of liquid compared to micropipettes. The main feature of a serological pipette is its graduation marks, which extend all the way to the tip, allowing for the dispensing of precise amounts of liquid. They are commonly used in cell culture, microbiology, and chemistry laboratories.
