Abstract

The piece (2) of fibrous material is of a color corresponding to a characteristic of the pipette, in particular its nominal volume. The piece of fibrous material is in the form of a tress of interlaced synthetic fibre threads, folded so the fold formed is positioned towards the inside of the pipette An INDEPENDENT claim is also included for a method of identifying at least one characteristic, in particular the nominal volume of a laboratory pipette by inserting a piece of fibrous material into the sucking end whose color corresponds to the identifiable characteristic of the pipette. The material is a tress of interlaced synthetic fibres which is folded before insertion so the fold is placed towards the inside of the pipette. The speed of flow of the liquid is regulated by the choice of the number of threads in the tress and its weight per linear meter.
