Can someone explain the use for this?

[-] Marlem@feddit.de 38 points 10 months ago

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 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] BynaD@lemm.ee 21 points 10 months ago

Probably chemestry, for mutiple attachments.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

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

Multi-subject piss test

Wouldn't want to be the guy that gets the top

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 10 months ago

Spray and pray, baby!

Has genetics gone too far?

[-] don@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

CRISPR’s been given too much power

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

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.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 10 months ago

200? Try 1000. It has "analytical" in the name, so you apply a 5x upcharge to the "science" price modifier.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

Except that its glass, that might be an issue.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Poor doggo :(

My lab used bottle caps with four holes in them for mobile phase intake. I've never seen a single bottle used for more than a couple HPLCs, but I suppose there are niche use cases out there.
