The graduated pipette is a
higher version of the medicine dropper or an eye dropper. This is important
laboratory equipment as it is used for the purpose of measuring and also
transferring particular volume of the liquids, chemicals, reagents and fluids.
The pipette has an important role to play in different types of laboratory
procedures, clinical examinations, medical tests and also scientific
experiments. The most commonly used pipette are – micropipettes, multi-channel
pipette device, automated pipette device, Pasteur pipette, graduated pipettes
and Zepto liter pipetting devices. The Graduated
Pipette is also known as the Mohr pipette. The pipette got its name after the
well-known pharmacist of the 19th century Mr. Karl Friedrich Mohr.
He had created this pipette in order that he could transfer particular amount
of liquid while doing various experiments.
The Graduated Pipettes are very narrow and made of calibrated glass tubes. They are used
to measure and also to transfer a particular liquid or fluid from one place to
another. This pipette is very similar to the graduated cylinder. This pipette
has many graduated lines made on it at regular intervals. These lines on the
pipette help the lab technician to take the reagents or the liquid in proper
measurement. The graduated apparatus in the laboratory provide very accurate
results as compared to other types of normal pipette. These devices are
generally open at one end so that the fluids, reagents or the liquids can be
easily inserted into the pipette. This also allows the user to perform the
experiment with ease.
