Doseerstaafjes
Doseerstaafjes, also known as dosing rods or measured dose applicators, are tools designed to deliver precise amounts of substances, typically liquids or powders, in a controlled manner. These implements are commonly found in laboratory settings, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and in some consumer products for accurate measurement. The design of a doseerstaafje usually involves a calibrated hollow tube or a solid rod with specific volumetric markings. By submerging the staafje into the substance and withdrawing it, a predetermined volume can be collected and transferred. The accuracy is often dependent on the viscosity of the substance being measured and the technique used by the operator. Different materials, such as glass, plastic, or stainless steel, are used in their construction depending on the chemical compatibility and intended application. Some doseerstaafjes are disposable for sterile applications or to prevent cross-contamination, while others are reusable and designed for easy cleaning. Their primary function is to ensure consistency and reduce waste in processes requiring exact quantities of material.
