Plastic Pasteur Pipette

A Plastic Pasteur pipette, also called a transfer pipette, is a simple, disposable laboratory tool used for transferring small volumes of liquids.

Structure: It consists of a thin glass or plastic tube with a narrow, pointed tip at one end and a rubber bulb (or a squeezable plastic bulb) attached to the other. The bulb is used to draw in or expel liquids.

Function: Primarily used for transferring non-volatile liquids, such as in cell culture, chemical mixing, or transferring reagents between containers. It is not designed for precise volume measurement but for general transfer tasks.

Features: Cost-effective, easy to use, and available in various lengths. Disposable plastic versions help prevent cross-contamination, while glass ones can be reused after sterilization.

Common Applications: Widely used in biology, chemistry, and clinical labs for tasks like transferring supernatants, adding drops of solutions, or handling small liquid samples.
