Fisherbrand Serological Pipette 5 ml Borosilicate Glass Individually Wrapped 500 Pipets

The Fisherbrand 13-678-27E Serological Pipette, with its 5 ml capacity, is a versatile instrument for a wide range of laboratory applications that require precise and sterile liquid transfer. Its primary applications include general liquid handling, such as aliquoting reagents, preparing culture media, and performing serial dilutions. Due to its sterile, individually wrapped packaging, it is an essential tool for aseptic techniques in cell culture and microbiology laboratories, where preventing contamination is critical.

The borosilicate glass construction of this pipette significantly expands its potential applications beyond what plastic pipettes can handle. Glass is chemically inert, making it suitable for use with aggressive solvents, acids, and bases that would degrade plastic. This durability also allows the pipette to be sterilized by heat, which is a key advantage for certain sterilization protocols. Furthermore, the regular length and 1/10 ml increments make it particularly useful for applications like titrations or spectroscopic analysis, where even at the 5 ml scale, visual accuracy is important for reproducible results.

Specific use cases for this pipette could include dispensing media into petri dishes, transferring samples for spectrophotometry, or performing liquid-liquid extractions. Its combination of chemical resistance, sterility, and precision makes it a reliable tool in various disciplines, from organic chemistry and biochemistry to pharmaceutical quality control.
