i got my pipette off of ebay the guy who sold it to me is in CA
eBay My World - changbio
there is the link to the seller

thank you for the link... i think i wanted to get the glass kind with the wheel pump... i found a decent set on ebay too... 60 for the 6 sizes of pipettes, and 3 different size pumps... up to 25ml...

i think i'd rather order a few 2ml pipettes and one pump for less

just placed my order for mine... got the 25ml pump & pipette + 10ml pipette, and 4 2ml pipettes & pump, and glass stirring rods off onlinesciencemall.com - hoping the 10ml will fit on the 25ml pump (probably wont but i can order that pump later if not)... only got the big one for when i am cutting bigger quantities of juice down.

I'm so glad you started this thread. I've been seriously balking at the whole idea of drops as a measurement & was wondering where I could get something that would measure .1 or .01 ml. Had been thinking I needed a syringe because I thought pipettes only had bulbs which are nearly impossible to gt a decent measurement with. I'll be ordering some very shortly :D

I had the same plan but thank goodness i waited for my DIY kit from diyflavorshack AND had micro pipette tips laying around

I finally used the wheel pump pipettor and pipettes that I got from Pellet Labs.

Man they're a bit of a pain in the .... just because they're so dang long. The pipettes are 13" long - about 5" of empty, seemingly-useless tube. What's up with this? Inserted into a wheel pump the whole contraption is 19" long.

Other then the length, they're great to use. They're fairly quick to use and insanely accurate.

Can one get shorter pipettes? Could I just cut off 5"? (My wife does stained glass so she had a glass-cutting bandsaw and a grinder to smooth the cut.)

What about shorter pumps of some sort?

I wish that were the case... i think these are great to use... but actually somewhat of a pain to clean. when i get the chance i think i'm going to go after the .2ml-2ml pipettor with disposable tips. i've yet to make something with less than .2ml measurement on an ingredient.

the size Shocked me when i got them actually i was thinking they were much smaller as well. they do have the other style pump though... i don't think they would be as easy to use as the wheel.

the pipettor was mentioned earlier by the original poster of the thread if i recall correctly.

the 25ml pipette is just a GIANT though. i will be keeping the ones i have around though for larger measurements when i get the pipettor though.
