If the micropipette in this image is a P20 (which measures volumes from 2-20 microliters), how many microliters could it measure?

During a lab, you need to transfer 4.5 mL of a solution from a 150 mL flask to a 15 mL conical tube. Which of the following would be the best to use?

Use this with ___

You should NEVER rotate the volume adjuster on a micropipette beyond the upper and lower limit

Never invert or lay the micropipette down with a filled tip; fluid can enter the pipette and ruin the internal mechanism.

Letting the plunger snap back after withdrawing or expelling fluid won't damage the piston.

You must immerse the barrel of the micropipette in fluid, when taking in liquid

Always change out the micropipette tip when changing reagents.

Micropipettes are very accurate tools of measurement, but they are only as accurate as the person using it.

When expelling a liquid, it should be done up against the wall of the microcentrifuge tube to allow the capillary action to draw out the liquid entirely.

Select the sizes of ALL micropipettes we own in this lab. (Hint: Which ones did I focus on in the class lesson?)

This is the display from a P20 micropipette (which measures volumes from 2-20 microliters). How many microliters would be measured with this micropipette at this setting?
