Pipettes and their function

1.) Serological pipettes

  Typically have gradations along their sides for measuring the amount of liquid
being aspirated or dispensed.

2.) Mohr pipette

  Also known as a graduated pipette, is a type of pipette used to measure the


volume of the liquid dispensed, although not as accurately as a
volumetric pipette. These use a series of marked lines (as on a graduated
cylinder) to indicate the different volumes.
3. ) Bacteriological pipette

 These pipettes utilize a fiber filter that helps prevent fluid and liquid vapor
contamination of samples and the pipette's internal mechanism. This pipette is
calibrated to deliver (TD) at +/- 2% and meets ASTM E934 standards.

4. )Automatic micropipette

 Is an automated pipetting system obtains a volume of liquid from a source by


creating suction, or aspirating, and dispensing this liquid over the destination
container.
5.) Volumetric pipette

   Bulb pipette, or belly pipette allows extremely accurate measurement (to four


significant figures) of the volume of a solution. It is calibrated to deliver
accurately a fixed volume of liquid.

6.) Ostwald-Folin pipettes

V
  Have bulb closer to the delivery tip unlike volumetric pipett which has at center.
These (OF) are used for accurate measurement of viscous fluids, such as blood
or serum.
7.) Pasteur pipette

 Is a device used to transfer small quantities of liquids. They are used in the
laboratory and also to dispense small amounts of liquid medicines. A very
common use was to dispense eye drops into the eye.
