- An eye dropper, also known as a Pasteur pipette or dropper, is a device for transferring small amounts of liquid.
– They are used in laboratories as well as to distribute small volumes of liquid medications.
- Dispensing eye drops into the eye was a common application.
– Although various designs of both plastic and glass droppers exist, the most popular is a glass tube tapered to a small tip (a pipette) and equipped with a rubber bulb at the top.
- The pipette and rubber bulb combo has also been referred to as a teat pipette.
– The Pasteur pipette gets its name from French scientist Louis Pasteur, who used a variation of it frequently during his studies.
- There was no apparatus to transport a chemical solution without exposing it to the outside environment in the past.
– The cleanliness and purity of chemical substances are required for each experiment to get the desired results.
- Both glass and plastic eye droppers can be sterilized and plugged with a rubber bulb at the open end of the pipette to prevent contamination from the environment.
– They are generally regarded inexpensive enough to be disposable; but, as long as the glass point is not chipped, the eye dropper can be washed and reused indefinitely.
- Reliable glass type with removable rubber teat and plastic disposable type in 1ml or 3ml sizes for use in the laboratory.
– A quality spare rubber teat is available.
