1. small laboratory instruments used to measure and transfer very small volumes of liquid, typically measured in microliters
Usage: scientific; laboratory equipment

Examples

• The researcher used micropipettes to transfer precise amounts of DNA solution.
• Laboratory technicians must calibrate their micropipettes regularly for accurate measurements.
• She carefully pipetted 10 microliters of the sample using sterile micropipettes.
• The biology students learned to handle micropipettes during their lab training.
• Different micropipettes are designed for various volume ranges in scientific experiments.
• The lab ordered new micropipettes after the old ones became less accurate.
