•Converting between metric units

•Use a conversion factor for non-metric
To measure volumes larger than 10 milliliters, technicians
usually use a graduated cylinder
Reading a graduated cylinder. Before using a
graduated cylinder, make sure you know the total volume it will hold
and the value of each of the graduations.
A volumetric flask is a more precise choice
will only measure one quantity
25-, 10-, 5-, and 1-mL SEROLOGICAL
pipets= pretty accurate
Using Pipets•Measuring units smaller
than 10 mL requires a pipet.
• “Never mouth pipet!”
VOLUMETRIC pipets
= better accuracy
Using Micropipets
When measuring tiny volumes, less that 1 mL, a micropipet is used.
Picking and Using the Appropriate Micropipet
•P-100 or P-200 micropipet•P-10 or P-20 micropipet•P-1000 micropipet
A micropipet has four parts• Plunger button• Ejector button• Volume display• Dispensing tip
Learning to use each part of a micropipet correctly is essential.
Inaccurate measurement could waste costly reagents and cause
invalid experiment results.
On the micropipet shown, the plunger has two “stops.”
On the micropipet shown, the plunger has two “stops.”
Pressing to the first stop evacuates air to the volume in the display. Used for
drawing liquid.

Pressing to the first stop evacuates air to the volume in the display. Used for
drawing liquid.Pressing to the second stop evacuates
that volume plus another 50% or so. Used to dispense.

To ensure accurate measurement, feel the difference between the first and second
stop before using the pipet.
P-1000 Micropipet. 100- 1000 µL (1 mL)
large tips are usually blue or white in color.
P-100 Micropipet. 10 - 100 µL
precision to 0.2 µLyellow tips
P-10 Micropipet.P-10 micropipets are
common in biotechnology labs.
0.5 - 10.0 µL precision to 0.02 µL.
tiny tips are usually white
Picking and Using the Appropriate Micropipet
Always use the smallest device possible.
A multichannel pipet allows several samples to be measured at the same time, a feature that saves
time during an experiment with multiple replications and repetitive pipeting.

Mass/Volume Solution. Solvent is added to 10g protein until a volume of 10 mL is reached. A protein solution that has a
concentration of 1 g/mL is considered fairly concentrated.
An electronic balance is good for measuring 1-200
grams.
Most analytical balances measure
down to milligrams, even though they usually report in
grams.
