ABSTRACT:
An automatic filling capillary pipet having a tubular body defining an elongated bore having a fluid entry end. The interior surface of the tubular body having a first zone with hydrophobic means for resisting wetting by aqueous liquids. The tubular body interior surface having a second zone which is hydrophilic with respect to aqueous fluids. Introduction of an aqueous fluid into the elongated bore will effect retention therein of a predetermined volume of aqueous fluid proportional to the cross section of the bore and the length of the second zone. In one embodiment the hydrophobic first zone originates at a position spaced from the fluid entry end and the hydrophilic second zone is disposed between the first zone and the fluid entry end. In another embodiment a hydrophobic third zone is disposed intermediate the hydrophilic second zone and the fluid entry end.
A method of making the above-identified type of pipet by providing a tubular pipet body composed of a hydrophilic glass material and establishing a hydrophobic first zone within the tubular pipet body, as by immersion, and providing a hydrophilic second zone between the fluid entry end of the tube and the first zone. A hydrophobic third zone may be established between the fluid entry end and the second zone.
