What is the typical capacity of a micropipette?

The typical capacity of a micropipette ranges from 0.1 to 1 mL, making this option the most suitable choice. Micropipettes are precision instruments designed for accurately measuring and transferring small volumes of liquid, commonly used in laboratory settings for tasks such as DNA testing or biochemical assays.

The capacity range is specifically tailored to handle microliter volumes, which are much smaller than milliliters. This precision is essential in bioscience applications where slight variations in volume can significantly impact experimental results.

In contrast, capacities such as 1-10 mL or 10-50 mL exceed the typical range for micropipettes and are more characteristic of larger pipettes or graduated cylinders. The choice of 1-10 L is also inaccurate, as this range surpasses the volume any micropipette can handle; it also references a unit (liters) that is too large for micropipetting applications, which focus on microliters.
