Glassco Class AS Graduated Pipette Type 3 — Lot Certificate, DIN 12696
The Glassco Class AS Type 3 graduated measuring pipette is a precision glass pipette manufactured to DIN 12696 ISO standards, providing accurate delivery of a range of volumes from a single pipette. Each pipette is supplied with a lot (batch) conformity certificate confirming compliance with Class AS accuracy tolerances — providing the documented traceability required for volumetric glassware used in validated pharmaceutical analytical methods, GLP-compliant research, and accredited testing laboratory applications.
Type 3 graduated pipettes feature graduation markings from the top of the pipette to the tip, enabling complete delivery of the nominal volume or any intermediate volume within the graduation range. The brown graduation markings on clear borosilicate glass provide strong visual contrast for accurate meniscus reading. Available in capacities from 0.5mL to 25mL, supplied from Glassco’s European warehouse in the Netherlands for fast delivery across Ireland.
Key Features
Class AS Accuracy — DIN 12696 ISO Compliant
Manufactured to Class AS accuracy tolerances in full compliance with DIN 12696 ISO — the internationally recognised standard for graduated glass measuring pipettes. Class AS is the highest accuracy designation for graduated pipettes, providing the tightest available tolerances for multi-volume liquid delivery — making these pipettes the appropriate choice for pharmaceutical QC, method validation, and all regulated analytical applications requiring documented volumetric accuracy.
Type 3 Configuration — Complete Drainage to Tip
Type 3 graduated pipettes are graduated from the top mark to the pipette tip, allowing complete drainage of the full nominal volume to the tip. This configuration provides the maximum flexibility in volume delivery — enabling accurate delivery of the full nominal volume or any intermediate volume within the graduation range from a single pipette.
Lot Certificate Supplied
Each pipette is supplied with a lot (batch) conformity certificate confirming compliance with DIN 12696 ISO Class AS accuracy requirements. This lot certificate provides the documented traceability required by regulated laboratory environments — supporting qualification documentation for volumetric glassware in pharmaceutical QC, GMP-compliant facilities, and accredited testing laboratories.
Brown Graduation Markings
Brown graduation markings on clear borosilicate glass provide durable and high-contrast volume reading under standard laboratory lighting conditions — an important practical feature for accurate volume delivery during routine analytical and preparative chemistry workflows.
Borosilicate Glass Construction
Manufactured from borosilicate glass, providing excellent chemical resistance to the aqueous solutions, organic solvents, acids, and bases typically pipetted in pharmaceutical and analytical laboratory environments.
EU Warehouse — Fast Delivery to Ireland
Supplied from Glassco’s European distribution warehouse in the Netherlands, providing fast and reliable delivery across Ireland with shorter lead times than direct import from outside the EU.

Applications
- Pharmaceutical QC — accurate multi-volume liquid delivery for reagent preparation and sample handling in validated analytical methods
- Analytical chemistry — precise volume delivery across a range of volumes for preparation of solutions, reagents, and standards
- Method development — flexible volumetric delivery during the development and optimisation of new analytical methods
- GLP-compliant research — lot-certified Class AS pipettes supporting qualification documentation requirements
- Microbiology — accurate delivery of culture media, reagents, and solutions in microbiological laboratory workflows
- Accredited testing laboratories — lot-certified Class AS pipettes meeting DIN 12696 ISO documentation requirements
Graduated vs Volumetric Pipettes — Which Do You Need?
Graduated measuring pipettes are the appropriate choice when delivery of a range of different volumes from a single pipette is required — particularly during method development, routine reagent preparation, and general analytical work where volumetric flexibility is valued. For applications requiring the highest reproducibility in delivery of one specific, single defined volume — such as calibration standard preparation and validated pharmaceutical analytical methods — the Class AS Single-Mark Volumetric Pipette provides the highest single-volume accuracy with the same Class AS designation.
