pipette bulb

Post by mnguyen »

Hello Everyone,
I have a question
I have some pippete bulbs which the ball inside has slipped down and therefore cannot be used and are dear to replaced.
I have heard you can fix this problem but don't know how. so just wondering if anyone have the instruction on how to do this?
Much appreciated if you could let me know
thanks in advance.

I have fixed these by slowly and carefully, with the aid of surgical forceps/artery clamps, working the ball back to where it should be.
A pair of artery clamps is invaluable for all sorts of tasks.

I just use my fingers to squeeze it back down. Once you get the hang of it it is pretty quick and easy.
