The Laboratory Volumetric Pipettes category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to measure, dispense, aspirate, pump and route liquids accurately between vessels, instruments and process steps. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Volume error, unsuitable wetted materials, trapped air and poor connections can affect concentration, recovery and repeatability. The practical choice therefore depends on wetted materials, connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
The complete fluid path should match the required volume or flow range, liquid properties, tubing and connection sizes, control method and cleaning approach. When each stage is matched correctly, laboratories in analytical, life-science, chemistry, process-development and quality-control laboratories can work more consistently and manage changeovers, replenishment and maintenance with fewer interruptions. As part of the Laboratory Liquid Handling Equipment range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Volumetric Pipettes Range
Our collection covers using these pipettes with electronic controllers, class a and class b volumetric pipettes, volumetric pipettes calibration, cleaning and maintenance, and some graduations amber or brown, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Using These pipettes with electronic controllers
All standard glass volumetric pipettes are compatible with electronic fillers like the Hirschmann Pipetus Accu, which allows for more controlled aspiration and dispensing compared to manual bulbs. The most suitable format depends on wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Class A and Class B volumetric pipettes
Class A (or AS) pipettes are manufactured to the highest accuracy standards with the tightest volume tolerances, while Class B pipettes, such as the Hirschmann AR-glass series, have wider tolerances and are suitable for routine educational or general laboratory use. The most suitable format depends on connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. This is especially valuable when teams need to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Laboratory Volumetric Pipettes calibration, cleaning and maintenance
These markings indicate that the pipette is calibrated "to deliver." This means the volume indicated on the pipette is the exact amount that will leave the tip when the liquid is allowed to flow out under gravity. Key differences are usually found in manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Some graduations amber or brown
Amber or brown graduations are permanently diffused into the glass surface, making them highly resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and providing better contrast when viewing clear liquids. Key differences are usually found in volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these pipettes be used with electronic controllers?
All standard glass volumetric pipettes are compatible with electronic fillers like the Hirschmann Pipetus Accu, which allows for more controlled aspiration and dispensing compared to manual bulbs. For volumetric pipettes, also check manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision so the product fits the complete procedure.
What is the difference between Class A and Class B volumetric pipettes?
Class A (or AS) pipettes are manufactured to the highest accuracy standards with the tightest volume tolerances, while Class B pipettes, such as the Hirschmann AR-glass series, have wider tolerances and are suitable for routine educational or general laboratory use. Before ordering, confirm manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What does "TD" or "Ex" mean on a pipette?
These markings indicate that the pipette is calibrated "to deliver." This means the volume indicated on the pipette is the exact amount that will leave the tip when the liquid is allowed to flow out under gravity. For volumetric pipettes, also check manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision so the product fits the complete procedure.
Why are some graduations amber or brown?
Amber or brown graduations are permanently diffused into the glass surface, making them highly resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and providing better contrast when viewing clear liquids. Laboratories should compare manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision and document the selected setup for consistent use.
What should I check before ordering volumetric pipettes?
The most important points are manual or automated control, volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Before ordering, confirm manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
