Abstract
A pipette includes a capillary, a pressure chamber, a drive unit, and a control unit. The capillary has a first end and a second end that are two ends in a length direction and that are open. The pressure chamber communicates with an inside of the capillary via the second end. The drive unit changes a volume of the pressure chamber. The control unit controls the drive unit. The control unit outputs a vibrational movement signal that drives the drive unit so that a liquid moves from a mid-position in the capillary to a finish position that is located closer to the second end than the mid-position. The vibrational movement signal has a waveform that drives the drive unit so that the volume of the pressure chamber alternately increases and decreases repeatedly.
