Glass pipettes are slender tubes made of glass, designed for transferring small amounts of liquid. They typically have a tapered end, allowing for precise dispensing. Glass pipettes are commonly used in laboratories, medical settings, and educational environments for tasks such as measuring liquids or adding reagents. These tools can come in various sizes and types, including graduated pipettes that have markings for measuring specific volumes. Unlike plastic pipettes, glass pipettes are reusable and can be sterilized, making them a more environmentally friendly option. Their accuracy and durability make them essential for many scientific applications.
