Dropping Bottle

Product Code : SCL-LG-11973

Dropping Bottle (SKU SCL-LG-11973) is a 60 mL glass bottle fitted with a colourless dropper, used to store small amounts of reagent and release them one drop at a time. It is a standard item on chemistry benches in schools, colleges and research laboratories, wherever indicators or test reagents are added dropwise. Science Lab Supplies ships the bottle from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The bottle body is glass with a nominal capacity of 60 mL, and it is described as both chemical resistant and heat resistant. A colourless dropper sits in the neck, so liquid is drawn up and released in drops without pouring from the bottle. It is a dispensing bottle, not a calibrated measuring vessel.

Applications and Experiments for the Dropping Bottle

Dropping bottles keep bench reagents such as indicators, dilute acids and alkalis, and test solutions ready for controlled addition. Students add exactly as many drops as a procedure asks for, which keeps waste low and reduces spills compared with pouring from a larger stock bottle.

• NCERT Class 10 chemistry: adding litmus, phenolphthalein or methyl orange to acid and base samples.
• Class 11–12 qualitative analysis: dropwise addition of group reagents to salt solutions in test tubes.
• Titration practicals: holding the indicator used with the burette.
• Biology and microscopy benches: dispensing stains or mounting fluids a drop at a time.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each piece consists of one 60 mL glass dropping bottle and one colourless dropper. Reagents, labels and storage racks are not part of the listed contents; order the number of bottles your benches need and add any related glassware to the same quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Ask for a handful of bottles for one bench or a full reagent set for every workstation; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the number you give. Schools looking for a single laboratory glassware supplier in India can add reagent bottles and droppers to the same request.

Registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Use the contact page to send a question, the enquiry cart to list several items, or the lab tender page for tender enquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What capacity is the Dropping Bottle?
The bottle has a nominal capacity of 60 mL, enough for a bench supply of indicator or test reagent while staying small enough to handle with one hand.

Can it measure an exact volume?
No. The listing gives no calibration or volumetric accuracy, so use it for controlled dropwise dispensing and use a pipette or burette when a measured volume is needed.

Who supplies the Dropping Bottle?
The bottle is supplied by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India, which prepares the quotation and dispatches single bench sets as well as quantities for whole schools and tenders.

Is there an amber version for light-sensitive reagents?
Yes, an amber glass bottle with dropper is listed separately. Choose it for reagents that degrade in light, and this clear 60 mL bottle for general indicators and test solutions.
