Abstract: A pipette for transferring a volume of liquid, a portion of the pipette formed from a material tinted with a color associated with the pipette volume, facilitating the differentiation of the pipette from other pipettes of different volumes. The portion of the pipette that is tinted may include at least a portion of the pipette top, the pipette body, or the pipette tip. The color tinting may correspond to a color coding standard. The pipette may include additional differentiation characteristics, such as the shape of the pipette, the presence of at least one colored band on the surface of the pipette, the presence of at least one colored material inserted into the pipette top of the pipette, or the presence of a solid colored pipette top.
