To calibrate a pipette, you would need to use a balance to measure the weight of the liquid that the pipette dispenses in order to confirm it is accurate. You can then adjust the pipette if needed based on the calibration results.
A TD calibrated pipette is a type of pipette that is calibrated "to deliver" a specific volume of liquid. This means that the pipette is designed to dispense the intended volume of liquid accurately and consistently. It differs from a TC (to contain) pipette which is calibrated to contain the specified volume but may not deliver it precisely.
The volume of the Gilson P10 pipette is 10 microlitres.
For the majority of pipettes the last drop should be left in the pipette; read the recommendation from the pipettes catalog.
The instrument that holds the pipette is called a pipette bulb or a pipette filler. It is used to create suction for drawing liquid into the pipette and controlling its release.
The rationale of the bead in the WBC pipette is for recognition. Through the white bead present inside the pipette it would be easy for a medical technologist to determine the pipette that should be used for differential counting. Aside from identification purposes, white bead is also used as a signal during the shaking procedure that would indicate that the components inside the pipet are mixed.

The key differences between a TD (To Deliver) and TC (To Contain) pipette lie in their calibration and design. A TD pipette is calibrated to deliver a specific volume of liquid, while a TC pipette is calibrated to contain a specific volume. This means that when using a TD pipette, the entire volume is dispensed, whereas with a TC pipette, there may be a small amount of liquid left in the tip. In laboratory settings, the choice between a TD and TC pipette depends on the level of accuracy and precision required for the experiment. TD pipettes are typically used when exact volumes need to be delivered, while TC pipettes are used when the total volume is important and any remaining liquid in the tip can be disregarded. It is important to use the appropriate pipette for each specific task to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Another name for Pasteur pipette is transfer pipette.
A Mohr pipette is a type of pipette that measures the volume of dispensed liquids. It is less accurate compared to a volumetric pipette.
A 1 ml pipette, a 2 ml pipette, a 5 ml pipette, and a 0.5 ml pipette.
A TD pipette delivers a fixed volume of liquid, while a TC pipette can be adjusted to deliver different volumes.
The watch glass may contain small amounts of solid or liquid samples.
