When pipetting big volumes of solutions, just a few products available on the market will help speed up the task. The serological pipette is the most often used tool for the task. These pipettes are ideal for any lab, thanks to several characteristics. When picking up your serological pipette, consider the following key points that MBP INC has put together.
What are Serological Pipettes?
The serological pipette is a standard laboratory tool for transferring milliliter amounts of liquid. Gradations on the sides of serological pipettes are often used to gauge how much liquid is being inhaled or discharged.
The Design of a Serological PipetteÂ
“Designed for perfect and fast fluid dispensing,” serological pipettes are produced from sterile medical grade polystyrene. These pipettes are pyrogen free and packaged individually to confirm they are sterile, decreasing your chances of contamination.
Each serological pipette is color coated to allow for easy identification and seamless transition. Each pipette has high contrasting black markings to enhance optical clarity. The ascending and descending graduations found on all of the serological pipettes, excluding the 1mL pipette, allow you to measure the correct volume easily.
1. Pipette Precision & Accuracy
When working with solutions, it is essential to recognize that your tools are measuring correctly and precisely. Serological pipettes haven’t always been regarded as accurate measurement tools. With today’s serological pipettes, which offer “assured accuracy and precision to +1-2%,” this problem has been solved. Each serological pipette is made with “an innovative filter plug” to ensure correct solution handling. These non-toxic filters prevent pipette controller damage from solution overflow.
If you want to improve the speed and precision of your pipetting, consider using a Drummond Pipet-Aid, a Capp Motorized Pipette Controller, or one of the many other motorized pipette controllers available. These tools make it easier to control the aspirating and dispensing speeds precisely.
2. Cost
You should consider the buyer whenever you acquire a serological pipette. You can save hundreds of dollars by being selective about where you get your goods. Unfortunately, many businesses will mistreat their clients based purely on the size or type of organization. It implies that universities and smaller enterprises will pay more for identical goods that large organizations buy.
Choosing the Right Size Pipette
Choosing the appropriate tool for each volume measurement is crucial to ensure accuracy and precision. To cut down on errors, always use the smallest pipet that’s acceptable for the task. A 5 ml serological pipette is more accurate when measuring 4.5 mL of liquid than a 10 mL pipette. You should pick a small pipet to work with smaller volumes. So, most of the time, a serological pipette of 2 ml or comparable size. A serological pipette’s small diameter and accurate graduations minimize errors in determining the meniscus of the sample.
Most Common Serological Pipette Sizes
These are some of the most typical volumetric pipettes:
Scientists frequently use these to create lab solutions from a base stock. They help produce a titration solution as well.
