Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hello all All this time Ive thought Ive been SOOO accurate with my bottle filling with my 10 ml pipette calibrated to 1/10.... I have been filling it to the " 0 " and emptying it for my 10 ml bottles, and filling it to 5 and emptying it for 5's... well there is the little space at the bottom,below the 10, and when I count all the way up- I would actually be putting 11 ml and 6 ml.... So is the key to fill to the correct amount, and empty only to the 10? Now I am confused- and my customers have been getting a good deal!! It makes it more difficult to not be able to just push the pump and empty completely... Anyone?!? Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hi, I may not be right, I'm digging this out of my chem lab memories from years ago, but I think if you have one of those calibrated pump pipettes, if you fill it to the 10 ml mark and then dispense it, you are getting the full 10 mls, no more than that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please (DH isn't home to ask, he's the chemist) -- " michelle morton- niyama " <lakshmi Wed, 5 Dec 2001 15:26:50 -0500 <aromatherapy Cc: measuring pipettes Hello all All this time Ive thought Ive been SOOO accurate with my bottle filling with my 10 ml pipette calibrated to 1/10....

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Ahh, I was thinking a Volumetric pipette. I have not used the mohr pipettes, so hopefully someone else can help -- " michelle morton- niyama " <lakshmi Wed, 5 Dec 2001 16:42:46 -0500 Re: measuring pipettes Michele the serological pipettes, and the volumetric pipettes work that way, but the mohr, which i have- have a space at the tip!UGH guess i need some serological pipettes for ease of measurement.., thanks michelle - Michele at Home <mbrantner Wednesday, December 05, 2001 3:54 PM Re: measuring pipettes > Hi, > I may not be right, I'm digging this out of my chem lab memories from years > ago, but I think if you have one of those calibrated pump pipettes, if you > fill it to the 10 ml mark and then dispense it, you are getting the full 10 > mls, no more than that.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 Hi Michelle, I was told by the people I buy my pipettes from, which is a lab, that, you will get a little bit " more " if you do that - don't ask me how we're supposed to figure it out right!!!!!!!!!!!! And I've done the same as you have............cuz of not wanting to go " under " the ml amount and give people less than they buy! (grrr!!!) By the way, I e-mailed you off-list but it came back the other day, so I'll say it onlist - Congratulations on starting up your business in Vermont, Congratulations on the new upcoming little one.................and did you ever find any baskets? Hugs.........
