Mechanical pipette

Definition

A manually-operated device typically used in the laboratory to withdraw, transfer, and inject discrete volumes of fluid materials. The device is typically hand-held and operates through an internal mechanism powered by the fingers; it can have a single channel or multichannel piston/cylinder pick-up assembly. The device transfers consistent volumes of liquid into one or several receptacles simultaneously (e.g., the wells of a microtitre plate). A pipette may be factory pre-set to deliver a given volume, or may have user-selectable volumes within a useful volume range. The delivered volume may be mechanically indicated.
