An Epppendorf pipet is what is called a constant volume pipet. It consists of a barrel with a a push button on one end and a stem on the other. You attach a single use disposable tip to the stem. Some models allow you to set the volume to be dispensed, some are not adjustable. In use, , you depress the push button to the first stop, insert the tip into the liquid to be pipetted, and release the button smoothly to draw up the liquid. Then, transfer the pipet to the receiving vessel and depress the button past the first stop to the second stop, this dispenses the liquid and blows out the last drop to insure accuracy, then discard the tip before the next use. Every time you draw up liquid, you get the exact same volume, with very high precision.

If you are using a glass pipette which you would possibly be using in a titration, then you would first clean it using some of the solutiion by rolling the solution round in the pipette. You use a pipette filler to suck up the solution

It is easy to use a dropping pipette. Squeeze the top of the pipette, place it in a fluid, release the pipette to let in the fluid, remove the pipette from the fluid, put it over the container, squeeze it top slowly, and let it drop into the container.

all you do is dip it in water and you should have this squeezey thing at the top so you squeeze that once its in the water then you let go and you take the pippet out and when you want to put water on something you squeeze the squeezey thing on the top and a drop should come out. if that doesn't work just ask your science teacher unless your home schooled To use a pipette pump, insert the glass pipette into the pump. Place the pipette into the liquid and rotate the wheel on the top of the pump with your finger. In order to release the liquid, rotate in the opposite direction.

Exactly like a normal pipet, you just happen to know exactly how much you have in the pipet so that you can record it for an experiment.

You can't precisely measure using a pipette. It would be better to transfer the items using a pipette to a graduated cylinder.
