What to do with high precision pipettes and a poro-5 sintered Büchner?

Folks,

I was given a set of high precision pipettes, the acme of which is a class A 0.2 ml 1/1000 (µL!) one. It looks like any ordinary pipette, except that the through hole is really tiny…

Apart from obvious microscale experimentation, do you know of any use for those?

Also, there was a sort of small Büchner funnel, poro 5. It took over a night for 5 ml of water to get through it (without suction). Any idea what that might be useful for (I thought about recycling Pd/C catalyst).

Sometimes the best answer is "sell it on eBay, and buy something you want."

Lol, I’m not certain anyone would be interested in a glass pipette. I’m also pretty amazed by their manufacturing quality. No, I’m going to keep them. But I think pipette these sizes and precisions are much more useful in micro-biology.
