Laboratory Basics/Pipettes Flashcards
1
Q
Graduated pipette
A
for measuring, TD, to deliver
this is for when you don’t need great accuracy, but speed is necessary
2
Q
Transfer pipette
A
Dispense 1 volume without divisions
High accuracy
Self draining, not blowout
3
Q
Which pipettes are measuring pipettes?
A
Serologic (graduated and blow out method)
Mohr not graduated to tip
4
Q
Which pipettes are transferring pipettes?
A
Volumertic and Oswald-Folin
5
Q
Blow out vs self draining
A
Self draining drain when touched against a surface
Blow out requires manual ejection of fluid
6
Q
Oswald-Folin pipette method
A
Bulb is closer to the tip and is used for high viscosity liquids
7
Q
Micropipet method
A
A type of transfer pipette
8
Q
Pasteur pipette method
A
For when exact accuracy is not requuuuired
