droppapplikator

A droppapplikator, also known as a dropper or pipette, is a common laboratory tool used to transfer small volumes of liquid. It typically consists of a glass or plastic tube with a rubber bulb at one end. When the bulb is squeezed and then released, it creates suction that draws liquid into the tube. Releasing the bulb slowly allows for precise control over the amount of liquid dispensed.

Droppapplikatorer come in various sizes, from very small instruments for micro-liter volumes to larger ones capable of handling several milliliters. The tip of the dropper can be tapered to allow for fine dispensing. They are widely used in scientific research, medical diagnostics, and various industrial applications where accurate and controlled liquid transfer is essential.

The primary advantage of a droppapplikator is its ability to dispense liquids in small, measurable increments. This precision is crucial in experiments requiring exact concentrations or when working with expensive or potent substances. They are relatively simple to use and clean, making them a versatile and indispensable tool in many settings. While often used for single-use applications to prevent contamination, reusable droppapplikatorer can be sterilized for repeated use. Different materials are used for their construction, with glass being common for its chemical resistance and inertness, while plastic offers a more affordable and often disposable option.
