Serological Pipettes Guide: Types, Sizes and Accuracy for Cell Culture

Published: 2026-07-06 | Category: Laboratory Consumables

Serological pipettes are essential tools in cell culture, microbiology, and clinical laboratories. Unlike micropipettes which measure small volumes precisely, serological pipettes are designed for larger volume transfers — typically 1 mL to 100 mL — and are used with a pipette controller or filler.

At JW RESEARCH SUPPLY PTE. LTD., we supply a complete range of serological pipettes from our Singapore warehouse, serving biotech parks, hospitals, and research institutes across the region.

Available Sizes

Polystyrene vs Polyethylene

Most serological pipettes are manufactured from polystyrene (PS) for clarity, or polyethylene (PE) for flexibility. JWRESEARCH serological pipettes are made from high-clarity polystyrene, offering excellent optical properties for visual volume verification.
