Simple laboratory instrument used for transferring small quantities of liquids. It typically consists of a glass or plastic tube, tapered to a narrow point, and a rubber bulb attached to the top. This bulb creates suction to draw liquid into the pipette and release it by squeezing the bulb. Pasteur pipettes are disposable and used in various applications, including scientific research, medicine, and biology, where precise volume measurements are not critical.
Key Features and Uses:
Simple Design: A glass or plastic tube, often with graduations for approximate volume measurement, and a rubber bulb.
Liquid Transfer: Used for moving small volumes of liquids between containers.
