pipet
Liquid transfer tool
A pipet is a slender tube used in laboratories to transfer precise amounts of liquid.
The liquid is drawn up by suction or a mechanical plunger, then dispensed drop by drop or in measured volumes.
Scientists use pipets for everything from mixing reagents to loading samples.
Also spelled pipette.
