Micropipette: they are utilized in the laboratory to transfer small quantities of liquid,
usually down to 0.1 uL. They are most commonly used in chemistry, biology, forensic,
pharmaceutical, and drug discovery labs, among others. Common micropipette sizes used in labs
include:
Common Micropipette Sizes Volume Range
P2 0.2-2 uL
P10 1-10 uL
P20 2-20 uL
P100 20-100 uL
P200 20-200 uL
P1000 100-1000 uL
Not only do micropipettes differ in size and volume dispensed, but depending on those particular
aspects they also require specific pipette tips. Micropipettes use a disposable pipette tip to aspirate
liquid, note that the tip is the only part of the pipette that makes contact with the solution. A new tip
is utilized for every sample in order to prevent cross contamination.Micropipettes operate on the
simple principle: a plunger is depressed by the thumb and as it is released, liquid is drawn into a
disposable plastic tip. When the plunger is pressed again, the liquid is dispensed.

The tips are an important part of the micropipette and allow the same device to be used for different
samples (so long as you change your tip between samples) without washing. They come in a number
of different sizes and colours, depending on the micropipette they are used with, and the volume to
be dispensed.

13. Eppendorf tube:

The Eppendorf tube is the microcentrifuge tube that handle small volumes of liquids. In biotech labs, a
microcentrifuge tube is used for all sorts of applications from sample storage to running reactions and
spinning down or separating samples. The Eppendorf tube provides secure and outstanding stability
during centrifugation, protects against evaporation, and provides a perfect sealing.
