In any lab—be it for clinical diagnostics, biological research, microbiology, or analytical chemistry—liquid handling is crucial, especially in today’s world. Pipettes are one of the most used instruments in any lab, and both graduated and Serological Pipettes are vital for making precise measurements in any volumetric analysis.

What Are Glass Graduated Pipettes?

Measured, or graduated, pipettes are straight, cylindrical glass tubes having measured marks engraved on their surface. They are designed for dispensing fixed amounts of liquids and are especially useful in titrations and other methods that require a high degree of accuracy.

Features Of Glass Graduated Pipettes

Resistant to chemicals and other damaging materials because of the high quality used borosilicate glass

Marked to either deliver (TD) or to contain (TC) the set volume

Different sizes available (1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml and so on)

Fine flowed tip aids in dominance of smooth and controlled liquid release

Applications Of Glass Graduated Pipettes

Laboratory diagnostics

Analytical chemistry

Biology and microbiology

Teaching and research laboratories in the universities

What Are Serological Pipettes and Their Unique Properties?

Used mostly in biotech laboratories in cell culturing and tissue engineering, Serological Pipettes are volumetric glass instruments used for liquid measurements. They are most often used with pipette controllers.

Features Of Serological Pipettes 

As shown in the image, the premium models are made of glass, but they could be plastic or glass.

The glass or plastic is graduated to the tip to ensure complete liquid transfer.

Color-band identification for volume recognition is available in color coded bands.

Options for sterile and non-sterile are available.

Applications Of Serological Pipettes

Cell culture

Microbial inoculations

Transferring buffers or reagents.

Pharmaceutical laboratories.

FAQ: 

Q1: Is it possible to reuse glass graduated pipettes?

A: Yes. Glass pipettes can be reused as long as they are cleaned and sterilized between uses.

Q2: Which is better a graduated or a serological pipette?

A: Irrespective of the answer, it depends on your needs, for precision measurement and titration a graduated pipette is needed while for liquid transfer, especially under sterile conditions, a serological pipette is preferred.

Q3: Are Huida's pipettes compatible with all pipette controllers?

A: Yes. Huida’s pipettes are made to be compatible with all standards and thus can be used with all pipette controllers in the market.
