What would you use to measure volume?

It depends on the amount you want to take. If it is microlitres, you can use a micropipette, millilitres, a pipette (a burette would be more accurate), and if greater than that, it is best to use a large graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is more inaccurate than a pipette, but at volumes of 500ml for example, it is impractical to use a pipette.
