pipettes
Precise liquid transferrers
Pipettes are slender tubes used in laboratories for transferring precise quantities of liquid.
A pipette draws liquid by suction or vacuum, then dispenses it drop by drop or in measured amounts.
They range from simple glass tubes to sophisticated devices with digital controls: She used a micropipette to add exactly ten microliters to each sample.
