Bench report
- Functional
- Tested by hand: the plunger travels smoothly through both stops with no grinding, the tip ejector operates, the volume dial turns freely and holds its setting rather than drifting, and the shaft and tip cone are intact with no cracks or chips. The counter was photographed reading 755 µL, inside this pipette's 100–1000 µL range. NOT volumetrically verified. I do not own a calibration balance and will not pretend otherwise. Sold uncalibrated.
- Cosmetic
- Light lab-service marks on the body; no cracks, nothing missing. The blue volume knob and the 100/1000 range marking on the cap are crisp and the counter window is clear. It still wears a third-party calibration sticker from its previous service programme. I am NOT certifying those dates and no certificate comes with it, so treat this as an uncalibrated pipette regardless of what the sticker says. Ships in its moulded foam tray.
