Serological pipettes are generally more accurate and precise than volumetric pipettes when measuring liquid volumes. Serological pipettes have graduations along the entire length, allowing for more precise measurements, while volumetric pipettes have a single graduation mark, which can lead to slightly less accuracy. Additionally, serological pipettes are typically calibrated to deliver a specific volume, while volumetric pipettes are calibrated to contain a specific volume.
RT-PCR, virus isolation, and serological tests.
A pipetman is more like a micropipet than a serological pipet. Both the pipetman and micropipets are designed for precise measurements of small volumes (typically in microliters), while serological pipets are used for larger volumes and often rely on gravity for liquid transfer. The pipetman operates on a piston mechanism for accurate volume control, similar to micropipets.
That would be a small glass tube used to collect or hold a blood sample.

Multiple washing steps are included in serological tests to remove any unbound antibodies or antigens that could lead to false positive results. This ensures that only the specific antibodies or antigens of interest are detected, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
The bacterial infection that often requires confirmation through serological testing due to the difficulty in culturing the causative organism is Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. This spirochete is challenging to isolate in the laboratory, so serological tests, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and Western blotting, are commonly used to detect antibodies against the bacteria in the patient's blood.
