A serological pipette is typically used for measuring and transferring liquids in a laboratory setting, and what is attached to it is generally a pipette tip. These tips are often made of plastic, such as polypropylene or polystyrene, and are designed to fit securely at the end of the pipette. Serological pipettes, unlike micropipettes, often come with graduations along their length, allowing for the precise measurement of volumes of liquid. These pipettes can either be used manually with a suction bulb or connected to a mechanical pipetting device for more accurate liquid handling. The tip on the pipette serves to avoid contamination and ensures that liquids are transferred cleanly and without spillage, helping in both accuracy and reproducibility.
