The Laboratory Graduated Pipettes category covers equipment and consumables used to measure, dispense, aspirate, pump and route liquids accurately between vessels, instruments and process steps. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out.
Volume error, unsuitable wetted materials, trapped air and poor connections can affect concentration, recovery and repeatability. This is why laboratories should assess wetted materials, connection size, manual or automated control, and volume or flow range before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
The complete fluid path should match the required volume or flow range, liquid properties, tubing and connection sizes, control method and cleaning approach. The same principle applies across analytical, life-science, chemistry, process-development and quality-control laboratories: control the inputs, use compatible equipment and document the conditions that can influence the result. 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 Graduated Pipettes range
Our collection covers graduated pipettes more accurate than volumetric pipettes, using these glass graduated pipettes with pipette fillers, ar glass and standard clear glass for pipettes, and choosing the correct graduation scale, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Graduated pipettes more accurate than volumetric pipettes
Generally, volumetric pipettes are more accurate for a single fixed volume, while graduated pipettes provide the flexibility to measure and deliver multiple different volumes using a single instrument. Selection should take account of wetted materials, connection size, and manual or automated control. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. 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.
Using These glass graduated pipettes with pipette fillers
Professional glass graduated pipettes like the Hirschmann models are designed with standard top dimensions to fit most manual and electronic pipette controllers or fillers. 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.
AR glass and standard clear glass for pipettes
AR glass (often a high-quality soda-lime glass) is specifically treated to offer improved chemical and thermal resistance compared to basic glass, making it ideal for the rigorous cleaning and reagent exposure typical of lab pipettes. Selection should take account of manual or automated control, volume or flow range, and accuracy and precision. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. 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.
Choosing the correct graduation scale
You should select a scale where the smallest graduation (e.g., 0.01ml or 0.1ml) allows you to read the volume with the precision required for your specific measurement. Selection should take account of volume or flow range, accuracy and precision, and liquid viscosity and chemistry. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. In practice, this supports efforts to move liquids with the control and compatibility needed from initial preparation through final dispensing. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are graduated pipettes more accurate than volumetric pipettes?
Generally, volumetric pipettes are more accurate for a single fixed volume, while graduated pipettes provide the flexibility to measure and deliver multiple different volumes using a single instrument. Laboratories should compare accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials and document the selected setup for consistent use.
Can these glass graduated pipettes be used with pipette fillers?
Professional glass graduated pipettes like the Hirschmann models are designed with standard top dimensions to fit most manual and electronic pipette controllers or fillers. For graduated pipettes, also check accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials so the product fits the complete procedure.
What is the difference between AR glass and standard clear glass for pipettes?
AR glass (often a high-quality soda-lime glass) is specifically treated to offer improved chemical and thermal resistance compared to basic glass, making it ideal for the rigorous cleaning and reagent exposure typical of lab pipettes. For graduated pipettes, also check accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials so the product fits the complete procedure.
How do I choose the correct graduation scale?
You should select a scale where the smallest graduation (e.g., 0.01ml or 0.1ml) allows you to read the volume with the precision required for your specific measurement. Before ordering, confirm accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What should I check before ordering graduated pipettes?
Review accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, wetted materials, and connection size, together with expected workload and cleaning or maintenance requirements. A suitable product should fit the full method, not only the immediate task. For graduated pipettes, also check accuracy and precision, liquid viscosity and chemistry, and wetted materials so the product fits the complete procedure.
