A serological pipette is a measuring device used for the transfer of liquids in laboratories



Non-pyrogenic serological pipettes are made from polystyrene and are sterile and RNase/DNase free. They can be stored for many months without the risk of contamination and are color coded to meet international standards.

Seamless design


A serological pipette is a measuring device used for the transfer of liquids in laboratories. Its transparent design helps reduce the adhesion of liquids to the tube walls, increasing the accuracy of samples. It also features a two-way, rigid scale for sample loading and reduction. It is also equipped with an aerosol barrier plug, which is helpful during liquid absorption. Moreover, it comes with a marking line on the upper portion of the neck to help users know the volume of a sample.


A serological pipette with a seamless design can improve ergonomics in laboratory use. Users can avoid using a standard serological pipette, which is susceptible to wobbling and jamming. This design helps the user insert the pipet easily. It is also less prone to dripping and jamming.

Gamma irradiation sterilization


A serological pipette is a device used to transfer liquids and reagents, and is used for mixing and dispensing cell suspensions. The instrument has graduated markings on the side to ensure even distribution of the cells in the solution. The pipette is an effective tool for mixing and dispensing cell suspensions, and is also useful for mixing chemical solutions and reagents. It can also be used to transfer cell colonies from one sample container to another, or to layer reagents to create density gradients.


The pipette can be sterilized by gamma irradiation. It is then individually wrapped so that it is ready for use. It is also color-coded to ensure proper use.

Application in tissue culture


Serological pipettes are commonly used in bacterial and tissue culture experiments. Their unique features include a bonded polyolefin fibre filter and color-coded band. They are available in several sizes and can deliver volumes up to 100 ml. They come with a cartridge filter plug. Serological pipettes can be used with all major brands of pipettors.


During the aspiration process, hold the serological pipette tip about one centimeter below the surface of the liquid. Use your other hand to manipulate the vessel. Once the liquid has been drawn into the pipette, the meniscus should align with the graduation marks of the pipette.
