Dropper
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11649
Dropper (SKU SCL-BLE-11649) is a straight glass dropper with a rubber cap that draws up a small volume of liquid and releases it drop by drop. Biology students use it to add stains, iodine or water to slides and to dose reagents in food tests, and it fits equally well in chemistry practicals. Science Lab Supplies dispatches the dropper from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, tender contractors and laboratory distributors.
Specifications
The specification of this glass dropper is brief, with each fact in its own row. In essence, it is a straight glass tube fitted with a rubber cap, the glass resists chemicals and heat, and it is intended for general laboratory use such as adding drops of stain, indicator or water.

Applications and Experiments for the Dropper
Squeezing the rubber cap expels air, and releasing it draws liquid into the glass tube; gentle pressure then delivers single drops where they are needed. In biology this means stain on a slide, iodine on a food sample or water under a coverslip, without spilling excess reagent.
- Class 9 biology: adding iodine solution to food samples to test for starch.
- Class 9–11 biology: placing water or stain on onion peel and cheek cell mounts before viewing them under the Biological Microscope.
- Plant and microbiology work: adding drops of water or reagent to samples in the Petri Dish (Set).
- Chemistry practicals: adding indicator drops in neutralisation and titration activities.
Rinse the dropper with clean water between reagents so that one solution is not carried into the next.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one straight glass dropper with its rubber cap. Reagents, stains, bottles and slides are not included; dropper bottles, slides and cover glasses can be added to the same quotation when a full staining or testing set-up is needed for the laboratory.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one dropper or enough for every student bench, which helps when stains and reagents each need their own. Science Lab Supplies confirms the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and bottles, pipettes or slides can be priced alongside it.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Tell us how many droppers you need through the contact page, add them to the enquiry cart, or turn to the lab tender page for tender purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dropper made of?
It is a straight glass dropper with a rubber cap. The glass is chemical and heat resistant, which suits stains, indicators and other reagents used in school laboratories.
How is it different from the Calibrated Plastic Droppers?
The Calibrated Plastic Droppers in the related list are transparent plastic, in 0.5 ml, 1 ml and 5 ml capacities. This dropper is a straight glass tube with a rubber cap, for labs that prefer glass for reagents.
How should the dropper be cleaned?
Rinse it in clean water straight after use, drawing water in and out several times, then leave it to dry. Use a separate dropper for each stain or reagent so that solutions do not mix.
Who supplies the Dropper?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies the dropper. Schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors can order it directly and include it on one quotation with slides, bottles and other biology bench items.
