Serological pipets, also known as graduated or measuring pipets, are laboratory instruments used to measure and dispense precise volumes of liquid. They are commonly used in chemistry and biology experiments, as well as in medical and clinical settings.
Serological pipets are usually made of glass or plastic, and have a bulb or plunger at the top for suction and dispensing. They are calibrated with markings indicating the volume of liquid they can hold, typically in milliliters (mL) or microliters (µL). They are used in conjunction with a pipette filler, a device that allows the user to draw liquid into the pipet and dispense it with precision.
When using a serological pipet, it is important to hold it correctly and use the correct technique to ensure accurate measurements. This includes using the bulb or plunger to draw the liquid into the pipet, and then releasing it by gently pressing the thumb or finger against the top of the pipet. The liquid should be dispensed slowly and smoothly, without creating bubbles or splashing.
It is also important to maintain and clean serological pipets properly to ensure their accuracy and longevity. This includes cleaning them after each use with a detergent or solvent, and avoiding scratching or damaging the markings on the pipet. It is also recommended to check the accuracy of the pipet with a standard solution regularly and to replace the pipet if the accuracy is out of tolerance.
