Micropipettes are versatile laboratory tools used in a wide range of applications across biology, chemistry, and medicine. Their primary function is to transfer small volumes of liquids with high precision. Micropipettes come in various sizes (e.g., 1 µL, 10 µL, 100 µL, 1000 µL) to accommodate different volumes of liquids and are critical for achieving the accuracy required in these applications.
Micropipettes are commonly used in molecular biology as well as medical tests. Micropipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece pipettes to more complex adjustable pipettes. Many micropipettes’ types work by creating a partial vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense.

How Micropipettes Work
Micropipettes operate on the principle of air displacement. A piston inside the pipette moves up and down to create suction, drawing liquid into a disposable plastic tip attached at the bottom. When the plunger is pressed and released, it allows the user to aspirate and then dispense a specific volume of liquid with high precision. The volume is set using a dial or digital display, depending on the type of pipette.
Proper usage is crucial for accuracy. Users must always pre-wet the tip, hold the pipette vertically when aspirating, and dispense at a consistent angle to ensure optimal performance.
Applications of Micropipettes
Micropipettes are used in a wide range of applications, including:
- DNA/RNA extraction and analysis
- Protein quantification and enzyme assays
- Cell culture and microbiology experiments
- Clinical diagnostics and drug discovery
- Pharmaceutical quality control
Their high level of precision is particularly critical in processes such as PCR, ELISA, and spectrophotometry, where even a small error in volume can impact results.
