Can someone explain the use for this?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months 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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months 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

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

Has genetics gone too far?

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.

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.

Except that its glass, that might be an issue.
