How do you use a transfer pipette?

Using a transfer pipette involves a few simple steps to accurately and safely transfer liquids.

Here's a breakdown of how to use one:

1. Preparing the Pipette:

   • Hold the transfer pipette securely.

2. Drawing Liquid:

   • Place the tip of the pipette into the solution you want to transfer (Reference: YouTube video "Using a Transfer Pipet").
   • Slowly release pressure on the bulb to partially fill the pipette with the solution (Reference: YouTube video "Using a Transfer Pipet"). Avoid drawing liquid too quickly, as this can lead to air bubbles or inaccurate measurements.

3. Dispensing Liquid:

   • Position the pipette tip over the receiving container.
   • Slowly apply pressure on the bulb to dispense the liquid (Reference: YouTube video "Using a Transfer Pipet"). Control the pressure to release the liquid drop by drop.
