Can someone explain the use for this?

[–] Marlem@feddit.de 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's used for HPLC analysis, where a lot of ports are needed to connect all the little tentacles of the machine

[–] runeko@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago

Yep. But the cheaper alternative is a regular bottle with one cap that has multiple ports for the tubes.

Probably chemestry, for mutiple attachments.

HPLC is High Performance Liquid Chromatography, a chemistry method that's used to analyze chemicals. Don't know why they would need this thing though

Heck of a party bong

So ..... either attach a tube to direct the flow ... or just place the bottle at the right angle and just free base it?

[–] degen@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Spray and pray, baby!

Has genetics gone too far?

[–] don@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

CRISPR’s been given too much power

I love how "improv" hplc bottles always look. I'm pretty sure this is a 200 euro piece of glassware, but it looks like 20 bucks.

Scientists invent new cost-cutting measures for Amazon drivers. Sharing is caring.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This would be a great dog toy. Put a hole in one of the caps (a treat-sized hole) and stick a rod hrizontally through the bottle, so that it can spin around it's axis. Than fill it with treats and your dog will be entertaint for hours.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Except that its glass, that might be an issue.

Poor doggo :(
