Anderson Pipette
Product Code : JA-PLE-2234
The Anderson Pipette (SKU JA-PLE-2234) is a particle size determination apparatus that measures how a powder settles in a liquid; the design is commonly known as the Andreasen pipette. It pairs a 500 ml graduated cylinder, marked from 0 to 20 cm, with a 10 ml pipette fitted with a three-way stopcock. JaincoLab makes this sedimentation pipette for particle size determination in physical pharmaceutics practicals at pharmacy colleges.
Specifications
The apparatus consists of a 500 ml graduated cylinder marked from 0 to 20 cm and a 10 ml pipette with a three-way stopcock, mounted so that the pipette tip sits level with the 0 mark of the cylinder; the glass type and overall height are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the sedimentation pipette
In physical pharmaceutics practicals the pipette is used to find the particle size distribution of a powder by sedimentation: a suspension is left to settle, 10 ml samples are drawn at timed intervals from a fixed depth, and the solids in each sample are measured so that Stokes' law can be applied.
- Particle size distribution of powders by the sedimentation (pipette) method
- Micromeritics experiments in B.Pharm physical pharmaceutics practicals
- Comparing particle size before and after milling or sieving
- Demonstrating settling according to Stokes' law in a suspension
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers one sedimentation pipette assembly: the 500 ml graduated cylinder with its 0 to 20 cm scale and the 10 ml pipette with three-way stopcock, set with the tip at the 0 mark, as described above. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
