Pasteur Pipette – Disposable Plastic Pipette for Measurement and Transfer of Liquids

Frequently asked questions

• What is the Pasteur pipette used for in growing?

  It's used to measure and transfer liquid solutions with precision, especially fertilisers and additives that you then add to your irrigation water. Since it has a built-in measuring scale, it lets you work out the exact amount for each dose. This helps you avoid calculation errors that could affect your plants' health.

• What sizes is it available in?

  It comes in two versions, 3 ml and 5 ml. You can choose whichever best fits the quantities you usually work with in your grow. If you work with very small doses, the 3 ml version gives you more control.

• How do I use it to dose a fertiliser?

  Draw up the solution with the pipette to the mark you need and transfer that amount into your irrigation water. It's especially useful with concentrated fertilisers, where a small dosing error makes a noticeable difference. It's straightforward to use and requires no extra equipment.

• What material is it made from? Can it contaminate the solution?

  It's made of disposable, toxin-free plastic, so it doesn't contaminate either your plants or your irrigation solutions. It's a material designed to be in contact with fertilisers and correctors without leaching any substances. You can use it with confidence when preparing your mixes.

• Does it hold up to products like insecticides or pH correctors?

  Yes. Although it's disposable, it's flexible and durable, and it withstands knocks, sun exposure and chemical substances such as fertilisers, insecticides and pH correctors well. That makes it suitable for almost any liquid you handle in your grow.

• How do I clean and store it between uses?

  After each use, fill and empty it several times with clean water to flush out any product residue. Store it in a covered place, protected from direct light and extreme temperatures. With that minimal care you'll significantly extend its useful life.
