Can I use a syringe instead of a pipette for the nitrite test for sn?

I went to some pharmacies but I didn't find a pipette, I got a syringe instead. It shows up to 5 ml of liquids. Is it fine for the nitrite test for sn? I have to use it to take 2 ml of water from one cup to another. Can I use it or do I necessarily need a pipette? I know there are some similarities and also differences between pipettes and syringes but both show the level of ml so is it a significant difference?

I don't see why you can't use it. Other's have used separate ones to avoid cross contamination.

Do I have to put a needle to the syringe to extract water or can I extract directly without a needle?

You can try both and see which one holds the extracted water with out spilling.

A standard syringe will hold liquids without having a needle.
