What is a serological pipet used for?
The serological pipette is frequently used in the laboratory for transferring milliliter volumes of liquid, from less than 1 ml to up to 50 ml. The pipettes can be sterile, plastic, and disposable or sterilizable, glass and reusable.
What type of pipette is serological?
Serological pipettes are typically either plastic, sterile, and disposable or glass, sterilizable and reusable. All serological pipettes require the use of a pipette dispenser for the transfer of liquids.
What are the commonly available sizes of serological pipettes?
Serological pipettes come in a variety of sizes, generally from 0.5 ml – 25 ml and are made of glass (nondisposable) or plastic (disposable).
What is the difference between a serological and a measuring pipette?
The key difference between volumetric and serological pipettes is that volumetric pipettes are calibrated to deliver a certain volume of a solution through free drainage, whereas serological pipettes are calibrated all the way to the tip, and the last drop of the solution has to be blown out.
What is the difference between a serological pipette and a Micropipettor?
Pipettes and micropipettes are invaluable pieces of laboratory equipment used to draw up, measure, and deliver accurate volumes of liquid. The difference between the two is that micropipettes measure between 1 and 1000µl, while pipettes generally start at 1 milliliter.
What are the different types of serological pipettes?
Reusable glass or disposable polystyrene serological pipettes aspirate and release milliliter liquid amounts using the blow-out method. The narrow tube construction is transparent and may come with or without calibrated graduations in various scales for accurate meniscus measurements.
What is the difference between biosafe and standard serological pipettes?
Description: The Argos BioSafe pipette is a standard serological pipette with a unique barrier filter. Description: Pipets are non-plugged and nonsterile, with a uniform pulled tip. Description: Standard-Tip Serological Pipets are irradiation sterilized and suitable for tissue culture work.
What is the difference between VWR® disposable serological and aspirating pipets?
Description: VWR® Disposable Serological Pipets are manufactured from polystyrene and are supplied sterile and plugged. Description: VWR® Disposable Aspirating Pipets are manufactured from polystyrene and supplied sterile.
What is a standard-tip serological Pipet?
Description: Standard-Tip Serological Pipets are irradiation sterilized and suitable for tissue culture work.
