Study Notes
Pharmaceutical Volume Measurement Instruments
- Various instruments measure volume, from micropipettes to large calibrated vessels.
- Instrument choice depends on needed precision.
- Common pharmacy tools include cylindrical and conical graduated cylinders.
- Smaller volumes often use calibrated syringes or pipettes.
- Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, and prescription bottles are containers, not volumetric glassware.
- Their marked volumes represent approximate capacities, not precise measurements.
