What is the characteristic of a volumetric pipette?

  1. Measures a variety of volumes

  2. Draws up a set volume only

  3. Not used in compounding

  4. 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.
