Pipettes are handheld instruments commonly used in academic, biotech, pharmaceutical and other labs to transfer precise amounts of liquid from one container to another.
Pipettes range from very basic graduated glass tubes to sophisticated precision instruments that, along with pipette tips are capable of aspirating and dispensing liquid in increments as small as a fraction of a microliter.
The most common pipette used in life science labs around the world is the single-channel air displacement pipette. Pipettes are available in both manual and electronic models and are available as single channel, multichannel, and multichannel adjustable spacer pipettes.
