Graduated pipettes, glass
Pipettes with capacity graduation are used to dispense liquids. They are calibrated ”Ex” (to deliver):
the imprinted volume refers to the delivered amount of liquid.
Graduated pipettes for complete delivery are called serological pipettes.
Amber graduation: the amber stain graduation penetrates into the glass surface and is,
therefore, more resistant than a blue, fused-on enamel graduation.
made of soda lime glass
acc. to DIN EN ISO 835 except capacity 0.1 ml
low risk of breakage
especially formed tips and ends, bevelled and fire-polished
calibrated tips provide short and practice-oriented waiting time
with colour coding for easy identification
with indication of tolerance
as from 5 ml capacity with constricted upper end to retain cotton plug.
A cotton plug prevents an overflow of the pipette. But it can also extend
the waiting time and thereby influence the accuracy of the measuring.
circular graduation at main points, well legible numbers and graduations
for complete delivery, zero at top
