What is the characteristic of a volumetric pipette?
Measures a variety of volumes
Draws up a set volume only
Not used in compounding
Varies with temperature
The correct answer is: Draws up a set volume only
A volumetric pipette is designed to accurately measure a specific, set volume. It is not versatile in measuring multiple volumes, thus option A is incorrect. It is commonly used in compounding, making option C incorrect. The volume measured by a volumetric pipette is not affected by temperature, making option D incorrect. Therefore, option B is the only characteristic that accurately describes a volumetric pipette.
