micropipettes
Precision liquid tools
Micropipettes are precision instruments for measuring and transferring very small volumes of liquid, typically in the microliter range.
Essential in molecular biology, chemistry, and medical laboratories, they allow researchers to dispense exact quantities for experiments where accuracy matters: She used a micropipette to add reagent to each well.
Most have adjustable volume settings and disposable plastic tips.
