Using a Disposable Transfusion Set To Mend Damaged Burets Burets are very essential apparatus for chemistry laboratories, and, unfortuneately, their tips and stopcocks are oRen damaged or broken
". We have mended such burets by using some parts of a dispwable ,,,R
transfurmn set usrd in hospitals. What we need from the srt is the I latex inirnion alte. $2, the fluw rrpulnror. nnd 3, t h tube ~ 3% shown of the led figure). The 6 b e is attached to the broken tip of in the buret and works well (left figure, part b). We also have tried using steel head in the latex injection site (as shown i n part a of the right figure), which is attached to the huret. When one presses the latex injection site, the huret starts to work (Fig. 2b). Saqib Ali M. Mazhar a n d Khalid Mahmood Quaid-i-Azarn University Islamabad 45320. Pakistan
