What characterizes a serological pipette?

A serological pipette is defined by its larger orifice design, which allows for faster drainage of liquid. This characteristic is particularly beneficial when working with larger volumes or when speed is of the essence in a laboratory setting, as it enhances the efficiency of liquid transfer.

In addition to this physical design feature, serological pipettes are typically used to measure and transfer precise volumes of liquid, but they do not exclusively serve a TC (to contain) function; they are versatile for various applications in laboratory practices.

The statement about accuracy does not specifically pertain to serological pipettes, as while they are accurate, they are not the most accurate type compared to other pipettes designed for higher precision. Similarly, the calibration of serological pipettes is generally not done exclusively to the tip but is methodically calibrated for specific volume transfer.
