Silly Measurement question.

[Seasonedreefer]

How do you get .02ml? How many drops is this? Is there somone that makes a pipet for measurements like this?

What are you trying to measure? Some of the test kits come with droppers and are measured out in small increments such as that. I believe the Mag kits do. I'm feeling a little too lazy to walk to the other room and check for sure :)

Went and checked. The mag kit has a 1ml dropper with it. Has marks down to the 100th, though it would be difficult to be absolutely precise.

Im measuring vodka.

On my Salifert kit, it is 1 drop per .01 ml with the cap on the dropper. This will obviously vary depending on the size of the dropper.

Im sorry i do not own a salifert kit i do have a 1ml eye dropper from topic marin im sure this is the same thing?

 

[adetamor]

I would imagine. Just fill the dropper halfway with your vodka and squirt some out to line it up with any marker, then squirt out .02ml. You will probably have to shake off the water droplet from the dropper

1 drop typically equals .1 ml

Go to the drugstore where you normally get your prescriptions filled and talk to the pharmacist about buying a 1 ml syringe which will give you the measurement you need. Most of the time they will sell it to you if you have a past history with them.

I use an old Salifert test kit syringe for dosing vodka. I put a piece of air line tubing on the end of the syringe so that I can get to the bottom of the bottle. Look in the pharmacy section or ask the pharmasist. They may be able to sell you a needleless syringe.
