Using a transfer pipette involves a few simple steps to accurately and safely transfer liquids.
Here's a breakdown of how to use one:
-
Preparing the Pipette:
- Hold the transfer pipette securely.
-
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.
-
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.
