Everything That You Must Know About The Pipette

Image
Pipettes are used in a wide range of laboratories worldwide, spanning from high schools and universities to cutting-edge research facilities and hospitals. A wide range of dimensions, designs, and volumes is available for these tiny yet highly useful devices, with different pipettes being employed depending on the application. Best-practice approaches for using a pipette in the laboratory are discussed in greater detail below. Furthermore, we will go over many significant pipette facts, such as their working mechanism and pipette uses . Brief History of Pipettes Although the technology of pipettes has already been known for more than a century, it was not until 1957 that the first micropipette was trademarked. This instrument was designed by Dr. Heinrich Schnitger, a German scientist and the creator of Eppendorf. The instruments that he created in his laboratory equipment manufacturing firm soon gained a lot of popularity worldwide. How Do Pipettes Work? A laboratory pipette funct

Complete Guide of Burette Reading

  Burette is a graduated glass tube with a stopcock (valve) to control the flow of the liquid. The tool finds its use in the titration process for quantitative analysis of various chemical tests. The controlled amount of solution of known concentration (titrant) is dispensed to find the concentration of an unknown solution (analyte). The titrant is added until the endpoint is reached, which is marked by a color change or precipitate formation. A buffer or pH solution indicates the end of the titration process. The titration process is one of the most frequently used quantitative analyses that help researchers develop or analyze chemical compounds. Also, it is used in various industries to analyze chemical compounds such as environmental studies, winemaking, pharmacology, wastewater analysis, and nutritional implications of food products. Titration looks like a simple procedure, but if not performed carefully, the results obtained are incorrect. There are various steps involved in t
