Abstract: A pipette (1) having a cylinder (10), a piston (8), a volume display (25) for displaying a pipetting volume (14) associated with the piston stroke, a display adjustment mechanism (22) for changing the volume display (25), an adjustment display for indicating an adjustment of the pipette (1) via the volume display (25), and a volume adjustment mechanism (19) for changing the piston stroke, the volume adjustment mechanism (19) being coupled to the display adjustment mechanism (22) in a first mode of operation of the pipette (1), and the volume adjustment mechanism (19) being decoupled from the display adjustment mechanism (22), and the display adjustment mechanism (22) being coupled to the adjustment display in a second mode of operation of the pipette (1), a method of operating such a pipette.

Abstract: A dispenser for a liquid, in particular, a bottle-top dispenser, with a cylinder/piston arrangement with a measuring cylinder (1) and a piston (2) which is capable of being displaced therein in a sealed manner, with a valve arrangement (3) connected to the piston (2), with an inlet valve and an outlet valve (5), each provided with a valve body (6) and a valve seat (7). The dispenser is characterized in that all of the parts or regions of the dispenser touched by the liquid are made entirely of a pure thermoplastic material or are coated with a pure thermoplastic material in such a manner that no contact is made by the liquid with the substrate coated with plastic material or with components of the substrate.
