title: Modification of the use of the pipette filler for reducing the hazards of contamination.
abstract: An adaptation is described which makes the common propipette readily acceptable for repetitive use. The application of pressure from an appropriate gas to permit rapid delivery of fluids and a method by which the propipette may be used comfortably in one hand make this tool amenable to routine use in a practical attempt to reduce the risks of contamination to both the operator and his cultures.
