Volumetric pipettes

Volumetric pipettes

Volumetric pipettes are tools for measuring precise volumes of a liquid. Pipettes are typically long tubes, open on both ends, marked to contain (or deliver) a certain volume of liquid.

They are commonly used in analytical chemistry to make up diluted solutions by measuring out a known volume of the concentrated "stock solution", or to measure out a known volume of a solution to be titrated.

Volumetric pipettes are typically calibrated for only one volume (e.g., 5.00 mL). Many different sizes are available.
