We have changed the way we close the plastic bags that protect our droppers in storage and transport. The new ties open by hand and carry a unique serial number and a barcode. It is a small change, but it affects both handling at the customer’s site and how we keep track of packed goods….
Droppers and their components are small, and surfaces such as glass pipettes and teats can pick up dust and scratches. Polyethylene bags are therefore a common inner packaging for them. This article explains what LDPE (low-density polyethylene) offers, which specifications matter, and where its limits are. Why LDPE is used for inner packaging Flexibility: the…
Dropper bottles are widely used as packaging for liquid products, including oral drops, but whether a particular product may be packed in one is a regulatory and formulation question and not only a packaging one. Packaging suppliers can provide a glass bottle and a dropper, while the producer is responsible for the product, its labelling…
To fill a dropper bottle without spilling, use a small funnel or a syringe with a blunt needle, work over a tray, fill slowly and stop below the shoulder of the bottle. Leave a little air space so the pipette does not displace liquid over the rim when you screw the dropper back in. Prepare…
To clean a dropper bottle for reuse, take the dropper apart, rinse every part with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, then let everything dry fully before reassembling. Glass bottles and glass pipettes tolerate hot water well, while rubber or TPE teats should be treated more gently because heat and some solvents shorten…
To prevent a dropper bottle from leaking, match the dropper to the bottle thread, tighten the collar firmly but not excessively, choose a teat material that suits your liquid, and fill and store the bottle upright. Most leaks come from a poor fit, a worn teat or a liquid that attacks the rubber. Check the…
To clean a glass pipette with dried-on residue, soak it in warm water with detergent or in a suitable solvent for the residue type, flush it repeatedly by drawing and releasing liquid, then rinse thoroughly with purified water and dry it. Patience works better than force, because scratching or chipping the glass makes future cleaning…
Yes, many parts of a dropper can be sterilized, but not all parts tolerate the same method. Glass bottles and glass pipettes withstand heat well, while rubber and TPE teats and plastic collars can be damaged by high temperatures or certain chemicals. The right method depends on the materials, so the supplier’s specification and the…
To clean a dropper for pharmaceutical bottles, take it apart, rinse each part with warm water, wash with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with purified water and let everything dry completely before reassembly. Always follow the cleaning and validation procedure that applies to your own product and quality system, because the right method depends on…
To use a dropper on a pharmaceutical bottle, unscrew the cap assembly, squeeze the teat before the pipette enters the liquid, release it slowly to draw the liquid up, then lift the pipette out and squeeze gently over the target. Always follow the label or the instructions of a pharmacist or doctor for the amount…
