A pipette pipette is a type of chemical dropper used in laboratory experiments to measure and transport fixed volumes of chemicals. There are several designs of pipettes but they all function in the same way. The pipette is inserted into a liquid-filled container, where it creates a vacuum. The vacuum suction draws up a designated amount of liquid and dispenses it into another. Pipettes are made with either borosilicate, aluminosilicate or quartz. |
