Teats are precision-moulded rubber caps designed for use with glass and plastic droppers to dispense controlled drops of liquids and chemicals. They ensure smooth suction, accurate delivery, and safe handling during routine lab work. Their reliability and ease of use make them essential consumables for laboratories requiring consistent dropwise dispensing.
Key Features
- Smooth, Controlled Dispensing: Enables accurate drop formation for analytical and general laboratory use.
- High Elasticity: Ensures effortless squeezing and quick recovery for repeated operations.
- Leak-Proof Fit: Securely attaches to standard droppers without slipping or air leakage.
- Chemically Resistant: Suitable for most aqueous solutions, reagents, indicators, and buffer solutions.
- Long-Lasting Performance: Durable construction prevents cracking, splitting, or deformation.
- Multiple Material Options: Choose from silicone, natural rubber, or latex for specific laboratory needs.
