Whereas manual pipettes need a movement of the thumb (up to 3 cm), electronic pipettes have a main button. The programming of the pipette is generally done by a control wheel and some further buttons. All settings are displayed on a small display. Electronic pipettes can decrease the risk of RSI-type injuries. [8] [9]
Move the pipette to the receiving vessel and dispense the liquid by gently pressing the pipette knob to the first stop (#3). Withdraw the tip from the liquid. Some liquid will remain inside the tip. The liquid remaining in the tip can be dispensed back into the original solution (#4) or thrown away. Release the pipette thumb to the ready ...

Pipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece glass pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. Many pipette types work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense liquid.
(These are for Class A pipettes; Class B pipettes are given a tolerance of twice that for the corresponding Class A.) A specialized example of a volumetric pipette is the microfluid pipette (capable of dispensing as little as 10 μL) designed with a circulating liquid tip that generates a self-confining volume in front of its outlet channels.

Positive displacement pipettes are a type of pipette that operates via piston-driven displacement. [1] [2] Unlike an air displacement pipette, which dispenses liquid using an air cushion in the pipette tip, the piston in a positive displacement pipette makes direct contact with the sample, allowing the aspiration force to remain constant.
A small pipette allows for more precise measurement of fluids; a larger pipette can be used to measure volumes when the accuracy of the measurement is less critical. Accordingly, pipettes vary in volume, with most measuring between 0 and 25.0 millilitres (0.00 and 0.88 imp fl oz; 0.00 and 0.85 US fl oz). [2]
Plastic Pasteur pipettes. An eye dropper, also called Pasteur pipette or simply dropper, is a device used to transfer small quantities of liquids. [1] They are used in the laboratory and also to dispense small amounts of liquid medicines.
