doseerpipetten
A doseerpipet, often referred to as a dropper or Pasteur pipette, is a laboratory tool used for transferring and measuring small volumes of liquids. It typically consists of a narrow glass or plastic tube with a bulb at one end. When the bulb is squeezed and then released, it creates suction that draws liquid into the tube. The volume of liquid transferred is controlled by the degree to which the bulb is squeezed and the length of the tube that is submerged in the liquid. While not as precise as volumetric pipettes, doseerpipetten are useful for tasks requiring approximate measurements or for transferring small, precise amounts of reagents. They are commonly found in chemistry, biology, and medical laboratories, as well as in household applications such as dispensing medication or essential oils. The disposable nature of many plastic doseerpipetten makes them convenient for sterile procedures or when cross-contamination is a concern. Glass doseerpipetten can be reused after proper cleaning and sterilization. The tip of a doseerpipet can vary in diameter, influencing the size of droplets dispensed.
