    Possibility of contamination

    Explanation:

    Taking a sample with a pipette from a reagent bottle directly might contaminate the entire solution. For example, if a pipette is not clean enough, any salt present will therefore dissolve in the given solution and change its purity. In worse cases, that salt might also react with the given solution and produce new products.

    Another example is when a clean pipette is used but isn't dry. The resultant water will essentially dilute the solution and will change its molarity. If that solution needs to have an exact standardized molarity, the reading will then not correspond to its actual concentration and such a solution couldn't be used for a titration and would have to be standardized.
